STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Accent keeps
Greek streak
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
Campaign promises made
by Student Body President
Joe Goldberg to disregard
"legacy positions" in Student
Government may have been
crushed barely three weeks into
his tenure.
Four of the most influential
positions in SG were given to
members of the same Greek
chapters that held them last year
- including the chairmanship of
Accent, which Alpha Epsilon Pi
Fraternity now has held for 14 of
the last 16 years.
When the Gator Party
chomped the competition in
Spring elections, promises were
made to diversify cabinet ap-
pointments.
"I would not look at affilia-
tions," said Goldberg, then the
Gator candidate, while cam-
paigning in February 2005. "The
student body has my word that I
would choose the most qualified
candidate."
And the results are in.

Wage increase takes its toll
Ex-dean charged
By MIKE GIMIGNANI
Alligator Staff Writer
mgimignani@alligator.org
A former associate dean of UF's College of Medicine pleaded not
guilty to federal wire-fraud charges Friday after allegedly diverting
more than $120,000 from college programs for his own benefit.
At issue for Timothy VanSusteren, who as associate dean for con-
tinuing medical education oversaw credit
UF courses for healthcare professionals, are 11
Administration checks meant for UF that he reportedly de-
posited into his personal checking account.
One e-mail requested that a $25,000 payment from Distance
Learning Networks of State College, Pa., should be made out to both
VanSusteren and UF, which led to the criminal charge, records indi-
.cate.
VanSusteren was released Friday after posting $25,000 bond. His
trial was set to begin July 11.
In addition, the university's investigation also found that
VanSusteren received at least $8,000 in fees for outside activities that
he did not disclose to his supervisors, a violation of university policy.
Ted Curtis, VanSusteren's attorney, would not comment on the case
except to repeat the date of the trial.
"Dr. VanSusteren is cooperating with the authorities in the investi-
gation," Curtis said.

Minimum-wage workers in
Florida are finding some finan-
cial relief after the rate change,
which increased by $1, went
into effect May 2.
The controversial consti-
tutional amendment passed
on the November ballot -with
more than 70-percent support,
leaving the statewide mini-
mum wage at $6.15 per hour, a
dollar more than the minimum
federal payroll standards.
The amendment also calls
for annual wage increases to
keep pace with inflation.
But with almost a month
after the payroll increases were
implemented statewide, some
local businesses are beginning
to feel the pinch, and as a re-
sult, downsizing services or
reducing payroll hours.

Hungry Howie's Pizza &
Subs on Southwest 34th Street,
which has a large staff of mini-
mum-wage employees, has
been forced to raise, prices 5
percent on all menu items.
"The small-business
owners are the most
affected. The increase
in wages affects profit
margins by at least 2
percent."

Hungry Howie's owner
Also, it no longer makes
deliveries for free in order to
compensate for the payroll
increase.

pizza costs $6.36.
"We lost a lot of customers
due to the increased, prices,"
Carlson said. "I explained to
all of them the reason behind
the higher prices, but custom-
ers didn't want to hear it."
Scott Marshall, the owner
of Carlson's Hungry Howie's
and nine others, said he has no
plans to reduce employment
but doesn't deny the negative
results.
"The small-business own-
ers are the most affected,"
Marshall said. "The increase in
wages affects profit margins by
at least 2 percent."
And while Marshall may
not need to reduce employee
hours, the owner of a lo-

STATE
Highway patrol beefed up
over holiday weekend
The Florida Highway Patrol will
be participating in a campaign over
Memorial Day weekend to reduce
fatalities on the state's freeways.
Three different operations
will be implemented from Friday
through Monday, including a
Combined Accident Reduction
Effort, which involves all 50 state
police and highway patrol organi-
zations, All-American Buckle Up
Week and the ongoing Click It or
Ticket initiative.
Last year, 40 people were
killed in 35 fatal traffic crashes
on Florida's highways, of which
83 percent involved unrestrained
passengers in vehicles normally
equipped with seatbelts. Forty per-
cent were alcohol-related.
The programs are being run in
order to prevent injury and save
lives during the holiday break.
All FHP personnel, including
those normally working in office
positions, will be on the highway
assisting the troopers throughout
the weekend.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Two attempt UF robbery
By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org
Two men tried to rob a 26-year-old
Gainesville resident Tuesday morning on
Museum Road near UF's Bat House, ac-
cording to University Police.
Robert Williams was walking toward
Southwest 34th Street when two unidenti-
fied men approached him, UPD spokesman
Joe Sharkey said.
"He was walking from a friend's home
on one side of campus to his home on the
other side of campus," Sharkey said.
The suspects allegedly stopped Williams
and demanded money.
Williams gave the two men his wallet and
showed them his backpack, telling them he
had no money, according to a release.
The victim reportedly was instructed by
the suspects to walk toward the Lakeside
Residence Hall when a UPD vehicle drove
past them.
When the police car returned, the three
men had left the area and Williams' back-
pack was found in the road, according to
the release. '
"There was a form of ID that we had
used to trace him down; it had his address
on it," Sharkey said.
UPD officers went to Williams' home
two hours later, where he told them about
the robbery, Sharkey said.
Williams described the two suspects as
two black males between the ages of 18 and
20, the release states.
"No weapons were brandished,"
Sharkey said.
The UPD officer reportedly saw a blue
Oldsmobile Cutlass with loud tailpipes in
the area at the time of the robbery, which
the officer suspected as belonging to the
two suspects.
Police are looking for the two men on
charges of attempted robbery.
UPD officials do not know if the suspects
are still in Gainesville, Sharkey said.

* UF STUDY FINDS HYPERTEN-
SIVE PATIENTS COULD SUFFER
DEPRESSION FROM MEDICATION.
By ASHLEY JONES
Alligator Contributing Writer
Patients suffering from heart disease
may be likely to develop medication-re-
lated depression, a UF study found.
"A drug may be effective in treating
hypertension but may have an adverse
impact on (a patient's) mood and bring
forth symptoms of depression," said
Doug Ried, a research health scientist
at the Randall Veterans Affairs Medical
Center.
Ried conducted a study to evaluate
the increase of depressive symptoms in
patients who used atenolol, a drug pre-
viously believed to be unsuitable in the
treatment of hyperent of hypertension, as compared
with verapamil, the generally accepted
brand of medication.
After a year, patients on atenolol
described more depressive symptoms
compared with those on verapamil,
Ried said.
."The factor that made the study in-
triguing was that depressive symptoms.
did not worsen by those on atenolol,"
Ried said. "Symptoms remained the
same, showing that patients without a
history of depression could use this type
of drug to treat hypertension."
In a press release, UF cardiologist
David Sheps said as many as a third of
heart-disease patients are depressed.
Physicians need to
UF be more attuned the
Research relationship between
heart disease and de-
pression, Sheps said.
"Chest pain that doesn't seem to
respond to treatment may be related to
the fact that (patients) may have depres-
sion. Not all pain that patients complain
of is directly related to a treatable aspect
of heart disease; it may be related to a
behavior situation that affects the per-
ception of pain in general," Sheps said
in a press release.
But doctors now suspect the drugs
used may worsen depression or even
trigger a mood disorder in some pa-
tients.
Sheps said the link between heart
disease and depression is very common,
and both primary healthcare physicians
and cardiologists should be proactively
screening their patients.

UF President Bernie Machen made'
headlines last month when he spoke to the
Alachua County Medical Society calling for
united action to combat "high-risk drink-
ing."
"Individuals who drink excessively are
hurting themselves and others at a rate that
is unacceptable," said Machen, adding that
the alcohol issue was the most critical health
and safety issue facing Gainesville.
UF estimates that alcohol was 'a factor
in 80 percent of sexual assaults reported by
students last year, he said.
Also, alcohol was the cause of death for
five UF students in the 16 months Machen

Unfamiliar birth control device gaining popularity
* NUVARING IS EASY AND
COSTS LESS THAN THE PILL.
By LAURA RUDDY
Alligator Contributing Writer
College students, in search of
cheap and uncomplicated birth
control options, have turned to a
new regimen..
NuvaRing is unique in that it is
the first type of birth control that is.
actually inserted into the vagina.
It is meant to be kept in the va-
gina for up to three weeks and then
removed for one week. After the one-
week break, a new ring is inserted.

back. Then Recycle.
F
NuvaRing, which is 99 percent
effective when used, properly, is also
relatively cheap.
UF students can expect to spend.
$15 a month on NuvaRing, whereas
they can spend $35 a month on birth
control pills.
"Interest in the Ring has not even
peaked yet," said Phylis Brinkman
Craig, ,a nurse practitioner at the
women's clinic at UP "We just saw
two students who had never heard
of it before, and one of them walked
out with a prescription for it. A lot of
students haven't heard about it yet.
And it's not just students; a lot of
women still haven't even heard of it
yet, either."
Craig said that NuvaRing is one
of the top types of contraceptive de-
vices prescribed to UF students.
"I recommend it to students be-
cause they only have to think about
it once a month, versus every day
with the pill or every week with the
patch," Craig .-sid.
Despite the fact that many wom-
en are still not familiar with the de-
vice, Christine Gajda, director of ex-
ternal affairs at Planned Parenthood
of North Central Florida, said that it
is gaining popularity.
"It is definitely popular, among
our local -crowd here in the
Gainesville area, so it's more popular
with the college-age crowd or people
who are not as set in their ways with
birth control and are willing to try
something new," Gajda said.
"It is 'also more discreet than
many other types of birth control,"
Gajda said.
Student But. of course there
Life are some disadvan-
tages. According to
NuvaRing.com, the most common
side effects are low incidences of
headache and nausea.
Craig said that there have been
a few complaints from students,
but nothing consistent. Some peo-
ple's anatomies are not suited for
NuvaRing, she said: For instance,
women without good vaginal tone
may have trouble keeping the
NuvaRing inserted.
It also can be difficult for some
women to keep track of their
monthly cycles.
"Because NuvaRing is so discreet,
you have to remember to take it out
because it is not something that you
are going to see or feel," Gajda said.
"You also have to be comfortable,
touching your own body, and wom-
en just aren't. The Ring would not be
for these type of women."
Still, the advantages of this de-
vice outweigh the disadvantages.
"This is going to be one of the
most popular contraceptive de-
vices," Craig said.

decorate their bodies with tattoos,
local tattoo artists said.
"Ten, 15 years ago, the only
time you really saw women in a
tattoo shop was when they were
on the back of some guy's bike,"
said Zak Huff, artist and owner of
Inkspots Tattoo, 1109 W University
Ave. "Now, most of my clientele
are female."
The main reason tattoos have
become popular is because they are
so commercialized now, Huff said.
People see tattoos on their favorite
movies, television shows, actors
and actresses, and theyvant to be a
part of this huge phenomenon.
Tattoos represent more than just
ink on a body. Women are more
specific when they pick out their .
tattoos, Huff said. The colors and
designs are taken into careful con-
sideration because these women
tend to think of their tattoo as an
accessory to their outfits and every,.
day lifestyle.
"The biggest trend with women
and tattoos right now is women are
getting larger, more involved tat-
toos with more colors," Huff said.
"Years ago, they'd just get a little
butterfly or Japanese characters
- small stuff."
The most popular place to get a
tattoo right now is along the lower
back, he said. It's a painful area to
tattoo but can fit a large panel -
one long, consecutive piece of art.
Biffy Eidenberger, an SFCC
sophomore, exemplifies the evolu-
tion of women and tattoos.
"The first tattoo I got was a but-
terfly on my hip," Eidenberger said.
"A couple months later, I decided I
wanted something bigger so I got a
cross with tribal lettering across my
lower back."
"I never really saw myself
as a tattoo person. But
once I got my first one, I
had to get more 'cause
they're addicting."
Biffy Eldenberger
SFCC student
Eidenbergei's tattoos hold spe-
cial meaning in her life. Her but-
terfly tattoo is a friendship tattoo
she got with two of her best friends,;-
while-her cross represents her faith,
she said.'
"I never really saw myself as a
tattoo person," she said. "But once
I got my first one, I had to get more
'cause they're addicting."
Eidenberger plans to get more
tattoos in the future when she saves
up the money. The kinds of tattoos
she'd like to get are bigger with
nmore olorini..o they will cost a lot
more than her tirst two, she said.
"My first tattoo, the butterfly,
* only cost $40," she said. "My cross
and tribal cost around $120 'cause
it took so long, and it takes up my
whole back."
Tony Roberts, a tattoo artist at
Kaoz, 2107 NW 13th St., said $40 is
the average cost of a woman's first
tattoo. As they get more adventur-
ous with their tattoo choices, they
can spend a couple hundred dol-
lars on a single tattoo, he said.
It all depends on the size, the
detail, the colors and the place they
want it, Roberts said. The longer
it takes the tattoo artist, the more
expensive the tattoos get.
Though tattoos are an artistic
form of expression, there are often
stereotypes- associated with this
type of art, Huff said.
Shreya Shah,, a UF pre-phar-
macy sophomore, said stereotypes
of people with tattoos are the main
reason she hasn't gotten one. -
"I don't have a problem with tat-
toos, but it seems that the girls with
tattoos are viewed differently," she
said. "My best friend has a couple
flower and vine tattoos on her arms
and wrists, and she hasn'tbeen hired
for some jobs because the employer
thought they were offensive." *
Career Resource Center spokes-
woman Nadene Francis said the
most important thing is to under-
stand the organization to which
one applies for a job. In certain in-
dustries, bodyuart is not an issue.
"The same can be said for hair,
makeup and jewelry," she said. "You
just have to know what is appropri-
ate for that type of organization."
Eidenberger, whose cross and
tribal tattoo is sometimes visible be-
neath her clothing, is aware of ste-
reotypes surrounding people with
tattoos but isn't too concerned.
"H-like my tattoos and what they
represent," she said: "If my tattoos
bother somebody, they can look the
other way 'cause I'm not going to
let it bother me."
Goldberg maintains promise of diverse appointments
SENATE, from page 1
elected were the most qualified.
I think when it comes to [SG
chair] positions, only a few are
qualified. I wouldn't expect
there to be lots of applications
because most of these people
have been involved in the orga-
nization for a long time."
Tyroler said he and
Buchalter have been friends
since high school.
"I worked very closely with
Mr. Buchalter last year," Tyroler
said. "We worked very well
with each other."
Tyroler, who served as
Accent's vice chairman of
production under Buchalter,
conipeted against -the organi-
zation's treasurer, Jonathan
Hirsch, for his job.
Hirsch is also a member of
Alpha Epsilon Pi. Of the top 24
positions in Accent, nine hail
from that fraternity.
Interfraternity Council
President John Dicks said fresh-
men see Greeks on campus and
want to get involved.
"When students come to
campus, they see joining a
chapter as a way of getting
involved," he said. "That was
touted a lot in recruitment. It's
chapters going to organizations
and organizations going to
chapters. There's a partnership
there."
Adam Roberts, former SG
technology cabinet director,
said he thinks Greeks get in-
volved very early- in their. UF
careers, and other students are
not given much of a chance to
work up to high positions.
"They take them from their
first year and, almost by mo-
nopoly, they. are the only per-
son qualified," he said. "All the
appointed campaigns those
are used as bargaining tools.
I know that that is part of the
bargaining process."
But Senate President Pro
Tempore John Boyles, a non-
Greek who sits on the com-
mittee that appointed Tyroler,
said he does not believe the
new Accent chairman had an
unfair advantage through his
fraternity.
"I don't feel that there is
a barrier at all," he said. "I
believe very strongly that if
anyone wants to get involved,
they can."
Boyles added that the SG
Executive Committee, which
is composed of the five top
officials within SG, took
Buchalter's recommendation to
heart because he saw Tyroler as
treasurer of Accent in Fall 2004
and as vice chairman of pro-
ductions in Spring 2005.
All of these legacy appoin-
tees also were approved unani-
mously by the Student Senate.
"I was dismayed to see that
more people didn't apply,"
Boyles said. -
SeAi. Brooke Seidman said
it was unfor-
tunate "that
not enough
4r people were
exposed" to
the open-
ings, -* but
added that
Seidman Goldberg
might have
found a "loophole" by waiting
for the Summer, when the few-
est students attend UF.
Roberts said he doesn't be-
lieve Goldberg kept his word.
"I think he definitely
didn't adhere to his promise,"
Roberts said. "I think when
most students saw who was
.elected, most thought things
weren't going to change.
[Students] didn't want to
bother filling out an applica-
tion for what they knew they
weren't going to get."
Goldberg said he would
continue to try to get a di-
verse cross-section of the stu-
dent body in SG despite the
low application rates.
SG officials maintain
position openings were an-
nounced at Student Senate
meetings, on fliers and list-
serys, at organizational meet-
ings, listed at the Student
Activities Center office and
placed in the UF Wednesday
Update and the Alligator
weeks ago.
"We're going to be making
sure that we are opening the-
doors to people of all differ-
ent organizations," Goldberg
said. "That is something that
I promise and something that
will be done."
Roberts said efforts to
diversify SG's constituency
were not as encompassing as
they should have been.
"There's so much more he
could have done," Roberts
said, citing that radio and TV
advertisements were not used.
"An all-out media cam-
paign certainly, if that had
been done, you would have
seen more interest going in."
Local businesses
face cutting hours
WAGES, from page 1
hours to make up for lost profits at
the bottom line.
"It is hurting us big time," Jdame
said. "It's really bad." "
The minimum-wage workers, on
the other hand, are making more mon-
- ey, and for them, that's a good thing.
"I'm really depressed that I'm mak-
ing more money," joked 19-year-old
Joanathan Shupert,'dietetics major and
Smoothie King employee.
"You cart tell since I work for mini-
mum wage, I'm not really in it because
I need-to live off it," said the Boca
Raton native.
Shupert said he has not felt the brunt
of fewer hours some of his co-workers
face and is just enjoying making some
extra cash while he's in school.
Jdame said that employees like
Shupert are only seeing the positive
financial results.

Tuition-funded grant
ensures political ends
t's that time of year again.
As Broward Beach seems like less of a misnomer with
each sweltering afternoon and we find parking down-
town on Saturday night without circling twice, Student
Government is quietly passing what should be hotly contest-
ed legislation that shortchanges the majority of UF students
who have shed academic commitments for the summer.
Although Student Body President Joe Goldberg will sit in
his newly refurnished Reitz Union office through every sweaty
day, he and the Student Senate have been doing some shirking
of their own.
After naming a legacy-monger's dream team of replace-
ment Student Senators for summer, SG also tipped its hat to
the Florida Blue Key-controlled Gator Growl pep rally.
Two-and-a-half weeks in office and you've already broken
a campaign promise to end inherited SG positions and subsi-
dized your FBK buddies with $340,000 of our money, Joe?
We certainly can't accuse your actions of paralleling your
diminutive stature.
Once upon a time, current FBK Vice President Chris
Carmody was a Student Senator during the 2002 session that
allocated $200,000 for that fall's Growl. Coincidence?
In the news business, we diplomatically call having one's
loyalties lie in two beds a conflict of interest. And if it's found
out that we're getting our bread buttered anywhere but in
our dimly lit little newsroom, we are fired and discredited for
the rest of our professional careers.
In political positions, such offenders merely move on to
the next nepotistic .official who once had enough money to
blow on friends and partying and the grades they didn't
make because of them in the same fraternity or sorority
house they did.
And speaking of money, while we have as-yet unpaid-for
parking garages on campus and a real'need for more, all SG
has done is form idle, ignorant committees about it. i\ Ihic i -
but one example of the many things that substantial nmiti.rn-
funded chunks of change could have gone to fund instLea:i
of lining the pockets of the private organization to i li.:h thi:
entire SG executive cabinet also belongs.
.And given recent moves, we have our t-L.-f.lpei c.n ab-.ti'i
what order those two ducks line up for them.
You want to do the student body a real service, SG? Start
investing in projects that benefit your constituency, where
that does not equal only half of UF's enrollment, instead of
investing our money in your political futures.
Coke wins the war
You've decided.
Coke apparently
is it for more than 70
percent of the UF commu-
nity, according to our reader-
response poll.
While by no means to-
tally scientific, the result
does raise doubt in our
minds about the likelihood -
of student involvement in
the recent decision to switch
the brand exclusively fea-
tured at UF.
We concede the process
must have taken time, in-
cluding an extensive and
drawn-out preparation.
And we're pretty sure,
through the magic of com-
mon sense, that UF admin-
istrators gave Coke ample
chance to pony up -the extra
dough and make its bid the
supreme one for a continu-
. ing cola monopoly.
But we hope that the
decision-making process for
such vitally important cam-
pus issues as .soft drinks will
be more open in the future.
See you in 2015, Coke.
Don't go flat on us in the
meantime.

:Women have a place inthe military
W e Americans live in a tim. ,f unparalleled gen-
der equality. WVhilc ir'- far from being perfect,
and it will b lor.g.g l..ng tit-.ni now if ever
- when we can say men and women truly are treated
equally, we only have to look to the recent past to see
how much better the situation is today.
Despite the advances made in most fields, however,
the U.S. armed forces continue to look more and more
like that uncle of yours who isn't allowed into nice res-
taturants because he still refers to waitresses as "beer
wenches."
Tacked onto the Department of Defense policy and
spending-plan bill, which soon will come to a vote in
the House of Representatives, is a measure that effec-
tively would bar women from serving in direct ground
combat or in combat support.
Haven't we gone over this a million times before,
Uncle Sam?
Yes, women tend to be smaller and weaker than men
- but only on the average.
Yes, some soldier theoretically could have an aneu-
rism in the field because he couldn't decide whether to
shoot at the enemy or ask Becky Sue if he could carry her
grenade launcher for her until they got to base camp.
Yes, there would be an increased amount of sexual
and emotional tension among the ranks, which could
throw a wrench into morale if not kept in check.
There are plenty of plausible "reasons" why women
shouldn't be allowed into ground combat.
And each one of them is stupid.
The inability to treat female troops as equals is just
another sign of lack of discipline for screaming drill in-
structors to beat out of the heads of new troops.
Supporters of this "powder puff" provision love to
point out that it only puts into- law a 1994 Pentagon
policy, rather than significantly increasing restrictions
itself.
That's quite a different story,
then. Ridiculous and discrimina-
tory provisions are one thing, but
ridiculous and discriminatory
S provisions that only reinforce
tried-and-true ridiculous and
Matt Sanchez discriminatory policies are just
Pure Foppery dandy.
msanchez@alligator.org But even setting aside the
social ramifications, the U.S.
armed forces simply can't afford
any silly restrictions on personnel. Enlistment numbers
are abysmal, and the last thing that will help is the es-
timated 21,925 jobs that opponents say will be denied
to women.
Of course, supporters of the provision don't feel it
unfairly prevents women from-obtaining certain jobs.
Provision sponsor Rep. John McHugh, according
to the' Associated Press, responded to accusations that
doors are being closed to women by saying, "I really
take exception to that."
Well, that changes everything if the accusation of-
fends him, then it obviously isn't true.
But, ultimately,- all of the throat-clearing and talk of
"But what if this happened..." scenarios are just a dis-
guise for the aging American politicians who haven't
quite gotten comfortable with the idea that their grand-
daughters might prefer G.I. Joe to My Little Pony.
Throughout this debate, supporters of this and simi-
lar provisions insist again and again that America isn't
ready to handle the issue of women in combat.
Guess what? This is 2005 the year the Transformers
movie was set in, no less and America is ready to
make sure outdated policies aren't keeping any good
soldiers from -he, fr.-,nt lines.

General deserves more credit for masterful military mind
Douglas MacArthur is one of the
great figures of the 20th century.
His life spanned many of the
world's turning points and played a pro-
found role for America in many of its most
desperate hours.
And yet, it is not in America that he is
remembered most fondly.
In the Philippines, he is a liberator. In
Japan, he is a shogun. In Korea, he is a
savior. Each of these countries adopted
him as a fount for their new nationalisms,
while his countrymen stateside had to
grapple with its own in dismissing him
from power.
America's love-hate relationship with
both Promethean power wielding and
Shelleyesque power shunning may ex-
plain its historically lukewarm relation-
ship with the General but was he such
a warmonger?
MacArthur was the most decorated
soldier of World War I. In World War
II, MacArthur conducted an aggressive,
highly mobile type of coordinated war-
fare utilizing amphibious invasions, and
air power in-a kind of concert, perhaps
unmatched before or since by any military
virtuoso.
MacArthur's p rf. irn..ir, .- came at a
bare minimum 1.-- .. f 1 fe while other the-
ater commanders :.r inelegant and
wasteful frontal :,..i.aiti. on targets such
as Tarawa.
Truman realized that he could not af-
ford to waste its prodigal warrior and
ordered MacArthur to command the oc-
cupation for the Allies in Japan.
MacArthur turned out to be noth-
ing short of the miracle Japan needed to
emerge anew.
He gave women there the right to vote.
He made offensive war unconstitutional.
He even saw to improve the nutritional
value of Japanese meals in schools, or-
dering that milk be provided to shore up
shaky diets.
But his focus on Japan would soon be
obscured'by the sudden and deliberate in-
vasion of South Korea by the Communists.
With the odds stacked entirely against him
and the situation grim, inspiration struck,
Christian and MacArthur
Waugh completed his mas-
Speaking Out terstroke: the am-
phibious invasion of
Inchon.
The massive operation would violate
every rule of amphibious warfare and
could only work if conducted, on an exact
timetable and with every scintilla of sur-
prise intact. It was a resounding success,
still studied today as the ne plus ultra of
strategy and cunning.
In order to actually win the war,
MacArthur needed to be freed from
incredible restrictions by Truman and
reunify the Korean people who had been
split after centuries of being one nation.
Truman did not retreat from his desire to
find a compromise that would preserve a
communist Korea.
Agape at the defeatism, MacArthur
knew he had to try a desperate gambit:
goad the administration into acceding to
an intelligent prosecution of the war, or be
fired trying.
Like the tragic heroes of the theater, he
would finally be brought down riot by his
enemies but by an immutable fault line
that ran through the bedrock of his char-
acter.
This led him "to the ultimate destina-
tion of all tragic heroes: the spectacular,
irreversible fall."
MacArthur once. said, "Could I have
but a line a century hence crediting a
contribution to the advance of peace, I
would yield every honor which has been
accorded by war."
Considering his actions in Japan, as he
built a lasting testament to liberalism and
democracy that represented the best in the
Japanese, could those words be those of a
warmonger?
Unlike Caesar and Napoleon,
MacArthur proved that he could conquer
and then rule with compassion, dignity
and justice for peace.
America should recall his significant
example today and not let him merely
fade away.

UF engineer developing wireless vital-sign device
* THE MACHINE USES A
FORM OF DOPPLER RADAR.
By ALEJANDRA CANCINO
Alligator Contributing Writer
A UF engineer is working on a
wireless device that could read vital
signs, such as heart and breathing
rates, from a cell phone or laptop.
The device uses a miniaturized
Doppler radar, much like the radar
police use to gauge the speed of a
car, said Jenshan Lin, the device's
designer and an associate professor
in the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering.
The radar sends a frequency to
the body that reads heartbeat and
movement of the chest produced
by breathing. That frequency is
then bounced back to the radar,
which sends the information to a
computer.
To read the information, Lin
created a computer program that
shows the information in the form
of waves, similar to an electrocar-'
diogram, or EKG.
Lin said hospitals could use
his device to track a patient's vital
signs without attaching sensors to
their bodies. Patients also could
use the device to send their doctors
their vital signs
UF -from the comfort
Research of their homes.
Lin said he
wants to reduce the device, roughly
shoebox-size, to a size small enough
to fit inside a cell phone or laptop.
In 2000, Lin began work on the
device at Bell Labs, the research
and development unit of Lucent
Technologies, with colleagues
from Stanford University and the
University of Hawaii.
After being hired by UF in 2003,
Lin continued to work on the de-
vice, increasing the frequency used
to transmit the signal.
With higher frequencies, the de-
vice could detect vital signs from a
greater distance, he said.
Currently, the device can read
vital signs with 100-percent ac-
curacy from a distance of half a
meter. However, Lin said.he hopes
to receive accurate signals from a
10-meter distance in the future.
Because the device reads vibra-
tions, Lin also said he is trying to
apply it to reading the vocal vibra-
tions of people who are unable to
speak. A computer program would
then replay those vibrations as the
person's voice, he said.
In the future, Lin said his device
could also work as a lie detector or
Seven as a security system, allowing
civilians to know how many people
are inside their homes or allowing
soldiers to know the number of
people behind a wall.
Investigation revealed university funds placed in former dean's possession
LAWS U IT, from page 1
Calls to VanSusteren's home were -an-
swered, then disconnected.
VanSusteren was first suspected in August,
when a normal review of files showed a $3,500
discrepancy that eventually was traced to a
check deposited into the dean's personal bank
account. Investigators soon turned up the
$25,000 check from Distance Learning.
Meanwhile, beginning Aug. .31
VanSusteren reportedly gave $55,000 in
anonymous. donations to the program. He
was informed of the internal investigation Oct.
1 and placed on administrative leave with pay
beginning Oct. 18.
In a December memo, Senior Associate
Dean for Educational Affairs Robert Watson
wrote that VanSusteren "accepted the wrong-
ful acts" and asked to be allowed to resign,
reports state.
VanSusteren resigned in January. In March,
he paid an extra $65,500 to achieve "full and
final restitution," according to a letter written
by Curtis.
The investigation into VanSusteren's
finances came on the heels of a similar case
involving Kenneth Hillier, the former chief
financial officer for the UF Foundation, the
private fund-raising organization serving the
university.
Hillier was sentenced to eight years in
prison in September after embezzling $850,000
from his organization.
Health .Science Center Communications
Director Tom Fortner said that, while college
officials believe VanSusteren's case is an "iso-
lated incident," the college was reviewing its
money-handling procedures.
"Whenever you have an office that handles
money, you want to be, careful. You want to
have established controls for how the money
flows," Fortner said.

like, 'We're this kind
of band,'" says guitarist
Colin Frangicetto. "You just
have to accept that you're a
misfit and that's the way it's
going to be."
The combination of killer
instrumentals linked with
thoughtful lyrics and front
man Anthony Green's pen-
etrating voice is what makes
this moody-rock outfit one
of a kind.
Their resolution of not
writing music for any par-
ticular genre is what gives
Circa Survive the versatility
in sound that keeps the lis-
tener interested and wanting
more.
It's hard to believe such.
a developed band has been.
together for only a year.
But if anything, Circa
Survive is probably another
way to say "unconvention-
al." Early in 2004, Green left
California band Saosin to
pursue one with Frangicetto.
Equal Vision Records
signed them before they
ever played a live show or
had a permanent band name'
(or, enough members). "We
definitely did everything
ass-backwards," Frangicetto
says. "We didn't play our
first show until February [of
this year]."
Less than a year since
their signing, Circa Survive is
a five-piece, adding Brendan
Ekstrom, Nick Beard and
Steve Clifford. They're tour-
ing the nation with. their
highly anticipated debut
album, "Juturna,"- released
nationally in April, just two
months after their very first
live show.
"I think... when

Frangicetto says.
"All five of our lives are com-
pletely changed because of a
couple decisions.we made."
He said, at the same time,
the band must be doing
something right if everything
is falling into place.
"It's just reallyliberating to
be with people tiiat ., .,toldni't
want to be anywhere else in
the world," Frangicetto says.
"You wake up and you're
glad to be there -
It's not hard to believe the
members still feel an element
of disbelief with things run-
ning so smoothly.
"I feel like we just got
people that matched -each
other," Frangicetto says.
The track "Handshakes
at Sunrise," and "The Inuit
Sessions," seems to depict
the relationship between the
band members.
"You kind of make an
oath with your friends...
regardless of whatever else
happens outside your circle
of friends, you're not going
to stop," Frangicetto says.
As a whole, everyone is
focused on the same thing,
he said.
"This is definitely our time
to do this," he says. "There's
no reason to stop."

Men in White blast competition
Gentlemen, what you aren't wearing may be hinder-
ing your sex life.
I've watched you on campus and observed the
night scene for over a week now, and honestly, I'm tired of
seeing the same T-shirts from Hollister.
Ladies, please feel free to back me up
on this.
A wardrobe of T-shirts is convenient
and effortless, but a girl likes a man who
takes pride in the way he looks.
So guys, if you find your T-shirt col-
lection of semantic slogans is not working
with the fairer sex, I suggest you pay very close attention.
,What you need is a white linen shirt.
With this juicy nugget of information, I give you the key
to the city my friends, so take heed.
Women love a man in a white linen shirt. "Why," you'
ask?
Well, let me count the ways.
First, this shirt emits masculinity. With the sleeves rolled
up, you show off your perfectly crafted forearms.. .meow!
Second, linen is the material of Ancient Greek gods;
therefore, you are sophistication personified.
Third, it's versatile this shirt will wear perfectly with
pants, shorts, cargos, denim or khaki.
Fourth, you appear cool, relaxed and incredibly sexy, and
that's the point, right? This effect is heightened when you
leave open the top few buttons; but don't get overzealous,
beware the disco look.
And most important, we are defense-
Christine less to your boyish charms when donning
Steffens this shirt. Imagine, you are talking to a
Fashion a Go-Go girl in a bar, and though you may be spit-
theavenue@alligator.org ting verbal diarrhea, she hears oratorical
fireworks. You are practically guaranteed
100 percent first-impression satisfaction.
How many more reasons do you need?
Gentlemen, this is the season for flings. Excuse me ladies,
I mean romance. Don't waste any more opportunities for
good loving in 2005 when summer hasn't even started, be-
cause you've already wasted most of May.
Remember, the clothes make the man. Forgive my trite-
ness, but how do you think a cliche becomes a cliche?
Next time you're out with your pals for a night of drunk-
en debauchery, you won't have to worry whether or not you
look good, because you know you do.
But don't get cocky on me arrogance is a complete
turn-off.
'Mermaid' poses question of desire
.... "' Sue Monk Kidd
The Mermaid Chair
^.ill 11, Viking Adult
Sue Monk Kidd raises the number
one question that has been plaguing
men for centuries in "The Mermaid
Chair"- what do women really want?
The novel echoes Kate .Chopin's
"The Awakening," but if you hated
reading that book, don't worry.
This novel is far less depressing.
Kidd's book takes place on a
marshy island off the coast of South
Carolina. The main character, T-'-i,
returns to the island, her.- -,he grew
up, because her extremely religious
mother is mutilating herself for mys-
terious reasons.
While simultaneously taking care
of her mother, she falls in love with a
monk, discovers the true cause of her
father's mysterious death, separates
and reconciles with her husband,
and paints pictures of mermaids.
Just a typical summer vacation.

Life of Bee's," which I highly recom-
mend, this book is a coming-of-age
story, where the main character feels
guilt for the death of a parent. Both
books involve the intercession of
saints, makeshift families, and pow-
erful women friendships.
Although,. the
-character who
comes of age is
a 42-year-old
woman, so it really
is more like a com-
ing-of-middle-age
- not that there is anything wrong
with that.
SThe imagery of the novel is gor-
geous. Water "shines like taffeta,"
and air is "poached with incense."
There are also some interesting
questions raised through Jessie's
search for her own identity and for
solutions to her mother's issues.
Is religion a sanctuary or just
a hiding place? Can you be sen-
sual and spiritual at the same time?
When is it OK to betray someone
you love?
Still, I have my complaints.
Maybe it is because I loved the
originality and the spunk behind
"The Secret Life of Bees." The prob-
lems that the characters faced in that
novel did not immediately disinte-
grate at the end of -the novel. This
made that novel
th
Jayme
Gough
Off the Press
more real for me.
I could empathize
better with the
heavenue@alligator.org characters.
On the other
hand, "The
Mermaid Chair" feels at times like a
Nicholas Spark's novel, and at times
like harlequin romance. It's all too
easy. Jessie slips from husband to
lover, and then back and these poor
men hardly complain. All because
she's feeling a little stifled.
That seems a little fishy to me.
But maybe that is what you will
like about the book.
So what if its not completely real-
istic? It has a happy ending, right?
Yes, it has a happy ending, if
nothing else.
Threesomes add
up to jealousies
In the spectrum of acceptable sexual adventure,
the threesome especially for bored couples -
has become a common affair. Blame it on "School
House Rock," but in the world of sexual fantasies,
three is a magic number.
On paper, the concept seems pretty fun. Where
one is good, two must be better. And of course, the
threesomes in porn always end happily. The idea of
one plus one.plus one equals fun.
Then, I start thinking about myself.
I'm the jealous type. Imagining myself in a three-
some, I'd
S be jealous,
Mr. Lube angry and
Risqu a Business gone long
theavenue@alligator.org before any-
one's pants
came off.
So from my perspective, threesomes could only
multiply frustrations.
I started polling my friends who had threesomes
for the details of sexual politics. All of my friends
agreed on two points. First, they all said as strictly
sex, threesomes are fun. Second, all said they would
do it again if the circumstances were right.
Unfortunately, finding the right circumstances
becomes much harder than finding two willing
bodies.
From my data, I've gleaned a few things.
When it comes to, threesomes with couples in
standing relationships; the sex always becomes a
numbers game two plus one.
My one, a gay man, explained that he could only
lie still while the couple pounced then passed him
back and forth.
Even among three singles, the aspect of competi-
tion can persist.
A lesbian friend of mine became .involved in
a consistent threesome with a bisexual girl and a
stupidly lucky straight man last spring. While my
friend said the experience was one of the most enjoy-
able she's ever had, she said the three's subsequent
attempts quickly turned into what she called a bi-girl
gangbang.
The happiest experience among my friends con-
sisted of three gay men who were all single at the
time.Adding it all up, people are still people. When
people have sex, there is always the chance of jeal-
ousy and competition.
So in the math of threesomes, reducing the num-
ber of variables seems to be the best solution.

Local ska haunts CG
I e word "duppy" is taken from
| Jamaican folklore meaning an
unruly spirit raised from a con-
secrated grave.
And that's exactly what The Duppies
will play on Friday at Common
Grounds music that haunts you and
calls to you to listen to them again.
"When most people think of ska,
they think of punk
rock kids with
Mohawks," frontman
Brian Hiebel says.
"We kind of take
a more serious ap-
proach to ska."
The band is made up of eight guys
brought together by a strong love for
Jamaican ska and the Internet.
I met with three members of the
eight-piece ska band Juan Cardenas,
who plays bass guitar, Roger Cohen,
the drummer, and Hiebel, the frontman
and percussionist. Cardenas calls the
three "the uterus of the band."
Cardenas and Hiebel met at Mega
Comics and Games. Both were enthu-
siastic about ska music and forming a
band. Cohen said he found his way into
the band through gainesvillebands.com.
The other members fell into place.
Although The Duppies fell to-
gether, they didn't fall into ska music.
They share a need and a passion for
ska unfulfilled by mainstream radio.
"That facet of music isn't represented
in a wide medium anymore. We missed
hearing it played live," Cardenas said.
Cardenas said that Jamaican popu-
lar music has existed for more than 40
years with many
Amanda different sub-geitres
Seyfang ska, rock-steady,
Playlist lover's rock, early
theavenue@alligator.org reggae, skin-head
reggae and others.
"This music is cel-
ebratory music. Ska music came around
in 1963 or 1962, after the Jamaican inde-
pendence: happened," Cardenas said.
"This music was created with the sole
purpose of uplifting peoples' spirits
after all the years of colonialism."
Cardenas said the band members'
backgrounds come together to merge
into ska music. Most of the members
have side projects such as punk, blues
and electronic groups.
"We pay tribute to what we play,"
Cardenas said. "We're not doing imita-
tions because that wouldn't be doing it
justice."
ON THE CHEAP $
Thriftlings find hip hangout
By JESSICA WEINSTEIN
Avenue Writer
Gainesville can be an expensive town.
When dinner and the movies don't seem
worth the rising cost and live shows require one
to shell out cash, what's a broke Gator to do?
Music fans looking for a good time on the
cheap can find the answer in a bright purple
house that is a staple of the "student ghetto"
neighborhood.
Tim and Terry's Music and More, 1417 NW
1st Ave., is a sandwich counter, convenience
store, guitar shop, bar and venue for local
bands. The vibe is laid back and the shows are
usually free. On weeknights the entertainment
is the clientele itself, a diverse group of students
and locals who come to jam.
This amateur hour is one well spent.
Monday night's "Modem Folk Jam" brings
banjos, guitars, drums, mandolins, violins and
their owners together to make noise and talk
shop.
Once I found myself whaling on the bongos
with a band late into the night.
I had never played drums before.
For you thriftlings looking to learn more
about an instrument, "The Purple Store" offers
a great opportunity for informal lessons. Most
people are happy to show you what they know.
;-The food is good with some menu items
in the 'money-you-scrounged-doing-laundry'
range.
Two dollars will get you a "Musicians
Friend," a hot dog and 16 oz soda. Cough up
$2.50 for grilled cheese and a Red-Pop. For more
complicated orders, expect to wait a while with
a 50 percent chance your food will turn up as
ordered.
Those of you who are not underage may
have better luck with your orders since Tim and
Terry's has license to sell bottled alcohol.
I recommend Tim and Terry's for its atmo-
sphere. On a good day, it's possible to have a
good time without spending a dime. The wrap-
around porch and backyard deck are perfect
places to settle back with a drink on a summer
night, take in the music or even make some
yourself.
The best part hanging out is always free.

New' DMB pleases fans old and new
Dave Matthews Band
Stand Up
RCA
He did it. Again.
Not wasting much time from his last live
concert release, Dave Matthews joins his infa-
mous band to create "Stand Up," the band's
newest studio release since 2003- Using
techniques old and new, the album provides
a breath of fresh air to hang to die-hard fans
and attract new ones.
The big-band sound that dominates DMB's
early albums makes a much-welcomed return
this time around. For disgruntled fans feeling
the band lost its feverish passion way back in
the '90s, tracks like "Everybody Wake Up"
bring back the blaring, explosive music that
helped DMB reach iconic levels. These are the
tracks fans want to hear live at concerts not
the ones we use for bathroom breaks.
In planning "Stand Up," however, the
band must've thought about attracting new
audiences and moving with the times. In an
industry where Ashlee Simpson can sell one
million records, talented bands must figure
out a way to keep them-
selves appealing without
losing their roots.
The diverse tracks on
"Stand Up" break apart
DMB's legendary, yet
intimidating, big-band
sound, allowing new listeners to savor it one
ingredient at a time. Like an elegant dish,
each track's importance to the outcome is
vital. "Dreamgirl" opens the album with the
fading chants of Dave' himself, mystifying
listeners to come closer. "American Baby"
plucks lightly at guitar melodies, foreshad-
owing music to come. "Out of My Hands"
strips down to Dave Matthews on piano, a
rarity in itself, telling a story of helplessness
and vulnerability.
Each song adds to the big picture. "Stand
Up" takes chances a band must take to keep
up with changing trends.
DMB does not sell out
Heather with this album it invests
Berger in the future. The band's
Playlist loyal, Birkenstock-wearing
hberger@alligator.org fans won't be disappointed
either.
DMB tours makes several
stops in Florida this summer, including the
Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa ont July 14 and
the Sound Advice Amphitheatre in West Palm
Beach on.July 16 and 17. Tickets are still avail-
able for these shows.
Even with DMB's thirteenth release, its
concept has not grown old talented musi-
cians, worthy messages and an unmistakable
sound will always prevail.
'Star Wars' battles hit-season finales.
T here is no doubt the third
installment of George
Lucas's cash cow opened
in a fury last Thursday.
Grossing more than $50
million in its first night, "Star
Wars: Revenge of the Sith" will
surely go on to bok office glory,
smashing opening weekend and
all-time grossing records.
However, the question in my
mind is could it have done
better?
While waiting in line among
Storm Troopers, various Jedi
and even Darth Vader to get into
the theater on opening night, I
felt that while the theater was
impressively crowded, there
wasn't the pandemonium I had
anticipated.
Yes, there were lots of the
infamous die-hard fans dressed
up and reenacting light saber
duels, sound effects and all.
But, I felt the
turnout was
not as big as I
expected it to
be. Despite the t
pre-sale tickets
available, Regal
Cinemas on 35th Boulevard still
had open seats available to the
11:30 p.m. premiere at around
9 p.m.
As one of the biggest movies
opening this summer, where
were all the people?
The answer hit me as I heard
the Jedi next to me say, "Oh
crap, I forgot to tape the season
finale of CSI."
The Jedi then proceeded to
search his cell phone for other
friends, or Jedis, who might
have remem-
Melissa bered to tape
Filipkowski the show.
The Reel Life' While "Star
eavenue@alligator.org Wars" films
have loyal
fans who di-
rectly contribute to their suc-
cess, television show loyalty is
becoming a growing trend. Can
television's season finales battle
against major movie openings?
Last Thursday, we had a rare
and epic battle between a movie
giant and a massive television
lineup. With CBS's "Survivor:
Palau," "Without a Trace" and
"CSI" all ending their seasons
that evening, it seemed that
more people tuned into the tube
to wvatch season finales than
went to see "Star Wars" on the
silver screen.
Altogether, the entire CBS
Thursday lineup from 8 p.m. to
11 p.m. brought in more than 44
million viewers. If CBS charged
the average movie admission
price of $6.50 to the 44 million
viewers, the Thursday night
season finales would have
brought in a whopping $286
million.
Although May sweeps will
soon be over and Hollywood
cinema will control the season,
it seemed that in this case, the
force was with TV.

4-
probable turn-around when Bryson Barber
hit a pinch-hit double, and then scored on
a grounder by Brian Leclerc that was mis-
played by Arkansas second baseman John
Marquardt.
Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said
his team outplayed the Gators for the first
seven innings, but was on the wrong end of
some lucky breaks.
"When you're up 8-2, you think you
just have to throw the ball in the strike
zone and play defense," Van Horn said.
"The next thing you know, they've turned
it around.
"We gave them opportunities that they
took advantage of."
- UF senior center fielder Jeff Corsaletti
hit a two-run homer as part of the six-run
eighth inning.
"The guys coming off of the bench
were a huge spark for us," Corsaletti said.
"When I got up there, it was a 2-1 count
and I was looking for a fastball to hit up
the middle."
Barton, another player to come off the
bench for the Gators, drove in the win-
ning run-to send the Razorbacks away in
disbelief.
Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff
UF second baseman Adam Davis tries to catch a throw from catcher Brian Jeroloman
to catch Arkansas right fielder Chris Hollensworth stealing second base in the fifth in-
ning. Hollensworth was safe on the play and would score the Razorbacks' fifth run.
"We've got so much momentum go-
ing right now, coming off of the weekend
against Vanderbilt," Barton said. "It didn't
look good for those first seven innings
though."
Darren O'Day (7-3) threw two innings
without allowing an earned run to pick up
the victory for the Gators.

HOOVER, Ala. The UF
baseball team was primed for
a letdown:
The Gators rolled into
the Southeastern Conference
tournament after sweeping
Vanderbilt in Nashville to
clinch the SEC champion-
ship.
The Razorbacks were
itching for a chance at re-
demption after being swept
by Mississippi last weekend,
barely qualifying for the tour-
nament.
Both teams reversed
momentum twice, with
the Gators winning 9-8
Wednesday in the opening
game for both squads.
UF coach Pat McMahon
said some people watching
the game probably turned off
their televisions.
Those people would be
surprised to see that the
Gators (39-18) came back
from an 8-2 deficit during a
game that lasted three and a
half hours.
"We just reached down
and tried to find a way to get
it done," McMahon said. "If
you keep battling away and
getting quality at-bats, good
things can happen."

an RBI single by Brian Jeroloman..
Both teams sent a fresh-
man left-handed pitcher out
to start the game. -
Arkansas never trailed un-
til the Gators scored the win-
ning run in the bottom of the
ninth inning, when Stephen
Barton hit a walk-off single.
The Razorbacks (37-19)
scored two runs in the first
inning off UF starter Stephen
Locke, and added one more
in the second inning.
Those runs would be all
Razorback starting pitcher
Nick Schmidt would need.
He pitched seven innings
in which he allowed two runs
and seven hits.
"I really didn't have my
best stuff tonight," Schmidt
said. "I was leaving my
breaking ball up in the zone."
However, once Schmidt
left the game, his impressive
performance was overshad-
owed by a six-run eighth in-
ning by the Gators that saw
UF dominate the Arkansas
bullpen.

The secret e-mails of the Ricky, Saban alliance
A after all the bad blood, drugs and
holistic workshops, the disgruntled,
now-reborn Ricky Williams could
be playing for the Miami Dolphins in 2005.
So why the change of heart, you ask?
Luckily, I was able to illegally intercept
personal e-mails between Ricky and new
Dolphins coach Nick Saban. If you're a
member of the FBI, please disregard this
column.
It began with Saban introducing himself
to Williams and asking Ricky to reveal fu-
ture plans. Here are the rest of the messages
written throughout a three-month period:
RW: Coach, thanks for writing and sorry
for the long delay in responding. I'm cur-
rently in India hanging with three Buddhist
S monks and smoking
peyote with a former
Playboy playmate.
I'm not really dig-
^ going football right
now, but I am think-
Andrew ing of opening a
Abramson fruit-smoothie stand
Drew's Control in Coral Gables.
aabramson@alligator.org Anyway,I'm about to
play tetherball so I'll
give you a shout out later. Peace.
NS: Ricky, hope your tetherball game is
as mean as your football game. I spoke to .
the mayor of Coral Gables and the city is
overrun with smoothie stands they're
actually thinking of shutting down a couple.
I'm glad to see you're living out the dream
of most men by smoking peyote with a play-
mate, but how about your dream of playing
pro sports that so few can ever experience?
Ricky, you have your whole life to do drugs
and hang out with monks. Your football ca-
reer is slipping away.
RW: Coach, greetings from Rwanda,
where I'm spoon-feeding starving children.
The playmate joined me on this voyage. I
know what you're saying about my football
career, but football is barbaric. Who wants to
get the crap beat out of them for, 10 years?
Didn't you ever feel like quitting the game?

STAFF REPORT
Both the UF men's and women's
tennis teams may have been defeat-
ed in the NCAA Semifinals, but that
did not end the season for several
players.
On the men's side, senior Hamid
Mirzadeh and freshman Greg
Ouellette earned bids into the 64-
W player NCAA sin-
gles tournament.

Washington, 7-5, 0-6, 6-2.
Ouellette is now 37-9 this season
in singles action.
The freshman from Ormond
Beach will play Stephane Rod of
Virginia Tech on Thursday.
However, Mirzadeh's colle-
giate singles career came to an end
Wednesday as he fell to Pepperdine's
Scott Doerner, 3-6, 7-6, 7-5. The se-
nior finished this season with a 16-
13 mark, and spent the entire dual-
match season at court one.
Mirzadeh and Ouellette will pair
in doubles starting today. Since they
are the fifth seed in the 32-team field,
the pair has earned All-American
status. It is Mirzadeh's fourth honor
and Ouellette's first. They will play
Arizona's Roger Matalonga and
Colin O'Grady.

NS: Ricky, to tell you the truth, I was ready to quit
football for good in Oct. when my former team, LSU,
seemed uninterested in my antics. I was going to retire
and grow potatoes in Idaho. But then we played the
Florida Gators. We were losing in the fourth quarter
and suddenly it all came together and we spanked the
Gators in the Swamp. I looked over at UF coach Ron
Zook and said to myself, 'I need to keep coaching be-
cause not everyone gets to coach forever.'
RW: Haha. Yeah, Zook was pretty bad. I guess foot-
ball can be a key ingredient to healing a wounded soul.

Lolita Frangulyan in the doubles
quarterfinals, UF had chances to

Anne Yelsey and was up 5-3 in
the second before losing 6-1, 7-5.
By the way, I'm in Australia and I'm out of cash. The
playmate skipped town to join the Dave Matthews
tour as a groupie, and -I owe hundreds of dollars for
my holistic studies. Football doesn't sound so bad
right now.
NS: Ricky, I just sent you $1,000 over PayPal. I think
I know a bearded fella that would look great in a No.

tact and we've removed the dartboard with your face
on it. We've even ordered a case of Prozac, and there
are about six former Playmates here in Miami ready to
jump on the Ricky bandwagon again.

Four of the most influential positions in SG were given to members of the same Greek chapters that held them last year -including the chairmanship of Accent, which Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity now has held for 14 of the last 16 years. When the Gator Party chomped the competition in Spring elections, promises were made to diversify cabinet appointments. "I would not look at affiliatioos," said Goldberg, then the Gator candidate, while campaigning in February 2005. "The student body has my word that I would choose the most qualified candidate." And the results are in. Evan Tyroler, a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, was appointed by the Goldberg-led SG Executive Committee to be Accent chairman for Goldberg the 2005-06 a c a d e m i c year. Alpha Epsilon Pi is also the fraternity of current Chairman David Buchalter and 14 of the 17 other Accent chairmen since 1990. 9Buchalter gave him his strong recommendation," Goldberg said.

Wage increase takes its toll E an charged By MIKE GIMIGNANI Alligator Staff Writer mgiignani@alligator.org A former associate dean of UF's College of Medicine pleaded not guilty to federal wire-fraud charges Friday after allegedly diverting more than $120,000 from college programs for his own benefit. At issue for Timothy VanSusteren, who as associate dean for continuing medical education oversaw credit UF courses for healthcare professionals, are 11 Administration checks meant for UF that he reportedly deposited into his personal checking account. Dne e-mail requested that a $25,000 payment from Distance Learning Networks of State College, Pa., should be made out to both VanSusteren and UF, which led to the criminal charge, records indicate. VanSusteren was released Friday after posting $25,000 bond. His trial was set to begin July 11. In addition, the university's investigation also found that VanSusteren received at least $8,000 in fees for outside activities that he did not disclose to his supervisors, a violation of university policy. Ted Curtis, VanSusteren's attorney, would not comment on the case except to repeat the date of the trial. "Dr. VanSusteren is cooperating with the authorities in the investigation," Curtis said. SEE LAWSUIT, PAGE 8 By CRISTYLE WOOD Alligator Writer cwood@alligator.org Minimum-wage workers in Florida are finding some financial relief after the rate change, which increased by $1, went into effect May 2. The controversial constitutional amendment passed on the November ballot with more than 70-percent support, leaving the statewide 'minimum wage at $6.15 per hour, a dollar more than the minimum federal payroll standards. The amendment also calls for annual wage increases to keep pace with inflation. But with almost a month after the payroll increases were implemented statewide, some local businesses are beginning to feel the pinch, and as a result, downsizing services or reducing payroll hours. Hungry Howie's Pizza & Subs on Southwest 34th Street, which has a large staff of minimum-wage employees, has been forced to raise, prices 5 percent on all menu items. "The small-business owners are the most affected. The increase in wages affects profit margins by at least 2 percent." Scott Marshall Hungry Howie's owner Also, it no longer makes deliveries for free in order to compensate for the payroll increase. For example, a large carry out pizza with one topping was $4.98 before prices went up, said Dave Carlson, manager of the Hungry Howie's on 34th Street. Now, that same pizza costs $6.36. "We lost a lot of customers due to the increased, prices," Carlson said. "I explained to all of them the reason behind the higher prices, but customers didn't want to hear it." Scott Marshall, the owner of Carlson's Hungry Howie's and nine others, said he has no plans to reduce employment but doesn't deny the negative results. "The small-business owners are the most affected," Marshall said. "The increase in wages affects profit margins by at least 2 percent."

THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 3 PUBLIC SAFETY Two attempt UF robbery By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Writer imendez@aligator.org Two men tried to rob a 26-year-old Gainesville resident Tuesday morning on Museum Road near UF's Bat House, according to University Police. Robert Williams was walking toward Southwest 34th Street when two unidentified men approached him, UPD spokesman Joe Sharkey said. "He was walking from a friend's home on one side of campus to his home on the other side of campus," Sharkey said. The suspects allegedly stopped Williams and demanded money. Williams gave the two men his wallet and showed them his backpack, telling them he had no money, according to a release. The victim reportedly was instructed by the suspects to walk toward the Lakeside Residence Hall when a UPD vehicle drove past them. When the police car returned, the three men had left the area and Williams' backpack was found in the road, according to the release. "There was a form of ID that we had used to trace him down; it had his address on it," Sharkey said. UPD officers went to Williams' home two hours later, where hetold them about the robbery, Sharkey said. Williams described the two suspects as two black males between the ages of 18 and 20, the release states. "No weapons were brandished," Sharkey said. The UPD officer reportedly saw a blue Oldsmobile Cutlass with loud tailpipes in the area at the time of the robbery, which the officer suspected as belonging to the two suspects. Police are looking for the two men on charges of attempted robbery. UPD officials do not know if the suspects are still in Gainesville, Sharkey said. Drug could cause blues N UF STUDY FINDS HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS COULD SUFFER DEPRESSION FROM MEDICATION. By ASHLEY JONES Alligator Contributing Writer Patients suffering from heart disease may be likely to develop medication-related depression, a UF study found. "A drug may be effective in treating hypertension but may have an adverse impact on (a patient's) mood and bring forth symptoms of depression," said Doug Ried, a research health scientist at the Randall Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Ried conducted a study to evaluate the increase of depressive symptoms in patients who used atenolol, a drug previously believed to be unsuitable in the treatment of hypertension, as compared with verapamil, the generally accepted brand of medication. After a year, patients on atenolol described more depressive symptoms compared with those on verapamil, Ried said. "The factor that made the study intriguing was that depressive symptoms did not worsen by those on atenolol," Ried said. "Symptoms remained thle same, showing that patients without a history of depression could use this type of drug to treat hypertension." In a press release, UF cardiologist David Sheps said as many as a third of heart-disease patients are depressed. Physicians need to UIF be more attuned to the Research relationship between heartdisease and depression, Sheps said. "Chest pain that doesn't seem to respond to treatment may be related to the fact that (patients) may have depression. Not all pain that patients complain of is directly related to a treatable aspect of heart disease; it may be related to a behavior situation that affects the perception of pain in general," Sheps said in a press release. But doctors now suspect the drugs used may worsen depression or even trigger a mood disorder in some patients. Sheps said the link between heart disease and depression is very common, and both primary healthcare physicians and cardiologists should be proactively screening their patients.

That is just one of four problems listed in an e-mail sent Tuesday from the Culture/ Environment Subcommittee to members of the Community Alcohol Coalition formed in January to outline the group's plan to curb alcohol abuse among college students in Gainesville.

UF President Bernie Machen made headlines last month when he spoke to the Alachua County Medical Society calling for united action to combat "high-risk drinking." "Individuals who drink excessively are hurting themselves and others at a rate that is unacceptable," said Machen, adding that the alcohol issue was the most critical health and safety issue facing Gainesville. UF estimates that alcohol was 'a factor in 80 percent of sexual assaults reported by students last year, he said. Also, alcohol was the cause of death for five UF students in the 16 months Machen has been at thecollege's helm, including the January death of UF finance junior Christopher Small, who was driving after allegedly overindulging at downtown hot spot :08. In July, the coalition plans to present its recommendations to a steering committee, which Machen chairs, Johnson said. Other members of the steering committee include Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan and six students, he said. "This is a process that takes a long time," Johnson said. "This issue is tough, and if it is going to be successful, it's important that we build support among students, faculty, business owners and the community."

Expand Stuff To Do calendarU Develop publications-highlighting "things to do," Unfamiliar birth control device gaining popularity NUVARING IS EASY AND COSTS LESS THAN THE PILL. By LAURA RUDDY Alligator Contributing Writer College students, in search of cheap and uncomplicated birth control options, have turned to a new regimen. NuvaRing is unique in that it is the first type of birth control that is. actually inserted into the vagina. It is meant to be kept in the vagina for up to three weeks and then removed for one week. After the oneweek break, a new ring is inserted. NuvaRing, which is 99 percent effective when used properly, is also relatively cheap. UF students can expect to spend, $15 a month on NuvaRing, whereas they can spend $35 a month on birth control pills. "Interest in the Ring has not even peaked yet," said Phylis Brinkman Craig, a nurse practitioner at the women's clinic at U. "We just saw two students who had never heard of it before, and one of them walked out with a prescription for it. A lot of students haven't heard about it yet. And it's not just students; a lot of women still haven't even heard of it yet, either." Craig said that NuvaRing is one of the top types of contraceptive devices prescribed to UF students. "I recommend it to students because they only have to think about it once a month, versus every day with the pill or every week with the patch," Craig said. Despite the fact that many women are still not familiar with the device, Christine Gajda, director of external affairs at Planned Parenthood of North Central Florida, said that it is gaining popularity. "It is definitely popular among our local -crowd here in the Gainesville area, so it's more popular with the college-age crowd or people who are not as set in their ways with birth control and are willing to try something new," Gajda said. "It is 'also more discreet than many other types of birth control," Gajda said. Student But of course there ife are some disadvantages. According to NuvaRing.com, the most common side effects are low incidences of headache and nausea. Craig said that there have been a few complaints from students, but nothing consistent. Some people's anatomies are not suited for NuvaRing, she said. For instance, women without good vaginal tone may have trouble keeping the NuvaRing inserted. It also can be difficult for some women to keep track of their monthly cycles. "Because NuvaRing is so discreet, you have to remember to take it out because it is not something that you are going to see or feel," Gajda said. "You also have to be comfortable touring your own body, and women just aren't. The Ring would not be for these type of women." Still, the advantages of this device outweigh the disadvantages. "This is going to be one of the most popular contraceptive! devices," Craig said. News can appear one day and be gone the next.

THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 &etttng more tn& Larger tattoos gaining favor By CAITLIN HARRIS Alligator Contributing Writer Kelly Ripa did it. Halle Berry did it, too. Angelina Jolie's done it many times. It might be symbolic, or it might be a result of a little too inuch tequila. Whatever the reason, more women than ever are choosing to decorate their bodies with tattoos, local tattoo artists said. "Ten, 15 years ago, the only time you really saw women in a tattoo shop was when they were on the back of some guy's bike," said Zak Huff, artist and owner of Inkspots Tattoo, 1109 W University Ave. "Now, most of my clientele are female." The main reason tattoos have become popular is because they are so commercialized now, Huff said. People see tattoos on their favorite movies, television shows, actors and actresses, and theytwant to be a part of this huge phenomenon. Tattoos represent more than just ink on a body. Women are more specific when they pick out their tattoos, Huff said. The colors and designs are taken into careful consideration because these women tend to think of their tattoo as an accessory to their outfits and everyday lifestyle. "The biggest trend with women and tattoos right now is women are getting larger, more involved tattoos with more colors," Huff said. "Years ago, they'd just get a little butterfly or Japanese characters -small stuff." The most popular place to get a tattoo right now is along the lower dent Wednesday. back, he said. It's a painful area to tattoo but can fit a large panel one long, consecutive piece of art. Biffy Eidenberger, an SFCC sophomore, exemplifies the evolution of women and tattoos. "The first tattoo I got was a butterfly on my hip," Eidenberger said. "A couple months later, I decided I wanted something bigger so I got a cross with tribal lettering across my lower back." I never really saw myself as a tattoo person. But once I got my first one, I had to get more 'cause they're addicting." Biffy Eidenberger SFCC student Eidenberger's tattoos hold special meaning in her life. Her butterfly tattoo is a friendship tattoo she got with two of her best friends, while-her cross represents her faith, she said.' "I never really saw myself as a tattoo person," she said. "But once I got my first one, I had to get more 'cause they're addicting" Eidenberger plans to get more tattoos in the future when she saves up the money The kinds of tattoos she'd like to get are bigger with more coloring, so they will cost a lot more than her first two, she said. "My first tattoo, the butterfly, only cost $40," she said. "My cross and tribal cost around $120 'cause it took so long, and it takes up my whole back." Tony Roberts, a tattoo artist at Kaoz, 2107 NW 13th St., said $40 is the average cost of a woman's first tattoo. As they get more adventurous with their tattoo choices, they can spend a couple hundred dollars on a single tattoo, he said. It all depends on the size, the detail, the colors and the place they want it, Roberts said. The longer it takes the tattoo artist, the more expensive the tattoos get. Though tattoos are an artistic form of expression, there are often stereotypes' associated with this type of art, Huff said. Shreya Shah, a UF pre-pharmacy sophomore, said stereotypes of people with tattoos are the main reason she hasn't gotten one. "I don't have a problem with tattoos, but it seems that the girls with tattoos are viewed differently," she said. "My best friend has a couple flower and vine tattoos on her anns and wrists, and she hasn'tbeen hired for some jobs because the employer thought they were offensive." Career Resource Center spokeswoman Nadene Francis said the most important thing is to understand the organization to which tne applies for a job. In certain industries, body'art ir not an issue. "The same can be said for hair, makeup and jewelry," she said. "You just havNe to know what is appropriate for that type of organization." Eidenberger, whose cross and tribal tattoo is sometimes visible beneath her clothing, is aware of stereotypes surrounding people with tattoos but isn't too concerned. "I like my tattoos and what they represent," she said. "If my tattoos bother somebody, they can look the other way 'cause I'm not going to let it bother me." Goldberg maintains promise of diverse appointments SENATE, from page I lected were the most qualified. I think when it comes to [SG chair] positions, only a few are qualified. I wouldn't expect there to be lots of applications because most of these people have been involved in the organization for a long time." Tyroler said he and Buchalter have been friends since high school. "I worked very closely with Mr. Buchalter last year," Tyroler said. "We worked very well with each other." Tyroler, who served as Accent's vice chairman of production under Buchalter, competed against the organization's treasurer, Jonathan Hirsch, for his job. Hirsch is also a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi. Of the top 24 positions in Accent, nine hail from that fraternity. Interfraternity Council President John Dicks said freshmen see Greeks on campus and want to get involved. "When students come to campus, they see joining a chapter as a way of getting involved," he said. "That was touted a lot in recruitment. It's chapters going to organizations and organizations going to chapters. There's a partnership there." Adam Roberts, former SG technology cabinet director, said he thinks Greeks get involved very early in their UF careers, and other students are not given much of a chance to work up to high positions. "They take them from their first year and, almost by monopoly, they are the only person qualified," he said. "All the appointed campaigns -those are used as bargaining tools. I know that that is part of the bargaining process." But Senate President Pro Tempore John Boyles, a nonGreek who sits on the committee that appointed Tyroler, said he does not believe the new Accent chairman had an unfair advantage through his fraternity. "I don't feel that there is a barrier at all," he said. "I believe very strongly that if anyone wants to get involved, they can." Boyles added that the SG Executive Committee, which is composed of the five top officials within Buchalter's recoin heart because he s treasurer of Accen and as vice chai auctions in Spring All of these le tees also were app mously by the Stu "I was dismay more people di Boyles said.

"I'm really depressed that I'm making more money," joked 19-year-old Joanathan Shupert,'dietetics major and Smoothie King employee. "You can tell since I work for minimum wage, I'm not really in it because I need to live off it," said the Boca Raton native. Shupert said he has not felt the brunt of fewer hours some of his co-workers face and is just enjoying making some extra cash while he's in school. Jdame said that employees like Shupert are only seeing the positive financial results. "They are just happy they are getting another dollar," he said. "They don't seem to get it."

6, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, MAY 26,2005 G rrow Tuition-funded grant ensures political ends It's that time of year again. As Broward Beach seems like less of a misnomer with each sweltering afternoon and we find parking downtown on Saturday night without circling twice, Student Government is quietly passing what should be hotly contested legislation that shortchanges the majority of UF students who have shed academic commitments for the summer. Although Student Body President Joe Goldberg will sit in his newly refurnished Reitz Union office through every sweaty day, he and the Student Senate have been doing some shirking of their own. After naming a legacy-monger's dream team of replacement Student Senators for summer, SG also tipped its hat to the Florida Blue Key-controlled Gator Growl pep rally. Two-and-a-half weeks in office and you've already broken a campaign promise to end inherited SG positions and subsidized your FBK buddies with $340,000 of our money, Joe? We certainly can't accuse your actions of paralleling your diminutive stature. Once upon a time, current FBK Vice President Chris Carmody was a Student Senator during the 2002 session that allocated $200,000 for that fall's Growl. Coincidence? In the news business, we diplomatically call having one's loyalties lie in two beds a conflict of interest. And if it's found out that we're getting our bread buttered anywhere but in our dimly lit little newsroom, we are fired and discredited for the rest of our professional careers. In political positions, such offenders noerely move on to the next nepotistic official who once had enough money to blow on friends and partying -and the grades they didn't make because of them -in the same fraternity or sorority house they did. And speaking of money, while we have as-yet unpaid-for parking garages on campus and a real-need for more, all SG has done is form idle, ignorant committees about it. Which is but one example of the many things that substantial, tuitionfunded chunks of change could have gone to fund, irKqei'd of lining the pockets of the private organization to which the entire SG executive cabinet also belongs. And given recent moves, we have our suspicions about what order those two ducks line up for them. You want to do the student body a real service, SG? Start investing in projects that benefit your constituency, where that does not equal only half of UF's enrollment, instead of investing our money in your political futures. Coke wins the war ou've decided. Coke apparently is it for more than 70 percent of the UF community, according to our readerresponse poll. While by no means totally scientific, the result does raise doubt in our minds about the likelihood of student involvement in the recent decision to switch the brand exclusively featured at UE We concede the process nust have taken time, including an extensive and drawn-out preparation. And we're pretty sure, through the magic of common sense, that UF administrators gave Coke ample chance to pony up -the extra dough and make its bid the supreme one for a continuing cola monopoly. But we hope that the decision-making process for such vitally important campus issues as.soft drinks will be more open in the future. See you in 2015, Coke.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.aIlligator.org/opinions Guet Column -Wome n have a place in the militar e Americans live in a time of unparalleled gender equality. While it's far from being perfect, and it will be long, long from now -if ever -when we can say men and women truly are treated equally, we only have to look to the recent past to see how much better the situation is today. Despite the advances made in most fields, however, the U.S. armed forces continue to look more and more like that uncle of yours who isn't allowed into nice restaurants because he still refers to waitresses as "beer wenches." Tacked onto the Department of Defense policy and spending-plan bill, which soon will come to a vote in the House of Representatives, is a measure that effectively would bar women from serving in direct ground combat or in combat support. Haven't we gone over this a million times before, Uncle Sam? Yes, women tend to be smaller and weaker than men -but only on the average. Yes, some soldier theoretically could have an aneurism in the field because he couldn't decide whether to shoot at the enemy or ask Becky Sue if he could carry her grenade launcher for her until they got to base camp. Yes, there would be an increased amount of sexual and emotional tension among the ranks, which could throw a wrench into morale if not kept in check. There are plenty of plausible "reasons" why women shouldn't be allowed into ground combat. And each one of them is stupid. The inability to treat female troops as equals is just another sign of lack of discipline for screaming drill instructors to beat out of the heads of new troops. Supporters of this "powder puff" provision love to point out that it only puts into law a 1994 Pentagon policy, rather than significantly increasing restrictions itself. Matt Sanchez Pure Foppery That's quite a different story, then. Ridiculous and discriminatory provisions are one thing, but ridiculous and discriminatory provisions that only reinforce tried-and-true ridiculous and discriminatory policies are just dandy. msanchez@alligator.org But even setting aside the social ramifications, the U.S. armed forces simply can't afford any silly restrictions on personnel. Enlistment numbers are abysmal, and the last thing that will help is the estimated 21,925 jobs that opponents say will be denied to women. Of course, supporters of the provision don't feel it unfairly prevents women from-obtaining certain jobs. Provision sponsor Rep. John McHugh, according to the' Associated Press, responded to accusations that doors are being closed to women by saying, "I really take exception to that." Well, that changes everything -if the accusation offends him, then it obviously isn't true. But, ultimately all of the throat-clearing and talk of "But what if this happened." scenarios are just a disguise for the aging American politicians who haven't quite gotten comfortable with the idea that their granddaughters might prefer G.I. Joe to My Little Pony. Throughout this debate, supporters of this and similar provisions insist again and again that America isn't ready to handle the issue of women in combat. Guess what? This is 2005 -the year the Transformers movie was set in, no less -and America is ready to make sure outdated policies aren't keeping any good soldiers from the front lines.

THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 7 General deserves more credit for masterful military mind D ouglas MacArthur is one of the great figures of the 20" century. His life spanned many of the world's turning points and played a profound role for America in many of its most desperate hours. And yet, it is not in America that he is remembered most fondly. In the Philippines, he is a liberator. In Japan, he is a shogun. In Korea, he is a savior. Each of these countries adopted him as a fount for their new nationalisms, while his countrymen stateside had to grapple with its own in dismissing him from power. America's love-hate relationship with both Promethean power wielding and Shelleyesque power shunning may explain its historically lukewarm relationship with the General -but was he such a warmonger? MacArthur was the most decorated soldier of World War I. In World War II, MacArthur conducted an aggressive, highly mobile type of coordinated warfare utilizing amphibious invasions and air power in a kind of concert, perhaps unmatched before or since by any military virtuoso. MacArthur's performances came at a bare minimum loss of life while other theater commanders oversaw inelegant and wasteful frontal assaults on targets such as Tarawa. Truman realized that he could not afford to waste its prodigal warrior and ordered MacArthur to command the occupation for the Allies in Japan. MacArthur turned out to be nothing short of the miracle Japan needed to emerge anew. He gave women there the right to vote. He made offensive war unconstitutional. He even saw to improve the nutritional value of Japanese meals in schools, ordering that milk be provided to shore up shaky diets. But his focus on Japan would soon be obscured'by the sudden and deliberate invasion of South Korea by the Communists. With the odds stacked entirely against him and the situation grim, inspiration struck, Christian and MacArthur Waugh completed his masSpeaking Out terstroke: the amphibious invasion of Inchon. The massive operation would violate every rule of amphibious warfare and could only work if conducted on an exact timetable and with every scintilla of surprise intact. It was a resounding success, still studied today as the ne plus ultra of strategy and cunning. In order to actually win the war, MacArthur needed to be freed from incredible restrictions by Truman and reunify the Korean people who had been split after centuries of being one nation. Truman did not retreat from his desire to find a compromise that would preserve a communist Korea. Agape at the defeatism, MacArthur knew he had to try a desperate gambit: goad the administration into acceding to an intelligent prosecution of the war, or be fired trying. Like the tragic heroes of the theater, he would finally be brought down not by his enemies but by an immutable fault line that ran through the bedrock of his character. This led him "to the ultimate destination of all tragic heroes: the spectacular, irreversible fall." MacArthur once said, "Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war." Considering his actions in Japan, as he built a lasting testament to liberalism and democracy that represented the best in the Japanese, could those words be those of a warmonger? Unlike Caesar and Napoleon, MacArthur proved that he could conquer and then rule with compassion, dignity and justice -for peace. America should recall his significant example today and not let him merely fade away. Christian Waugh is a first-year lawe student.

8, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2005 UF engineer developing wireless vital-sign device N THE MACHINE USES A FORM OF DOPPLER RADAR. By ALEJANDRA CANCINO Alligator Contributing Writer A UF engineer is working on a wireless device that could read vital signs, such as heart and breathing rates, from a cell phone or laptop. The device uses a miniaturized Doppler radar, much like the radar police use to gauge the speed of a car, said Jenshan Lin, the device's designer and an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The radar sends a frequency to the body that reads heartbeat and movement of the chest produced by breathing. That frequency is then bounced back to the radar, which sends the information to a computer. To read the information, Lin created a computer program that shows the information in the form of waves, similar to an electrocardiogram, or EKG. Lin said hospitals could use Technologies, with colleagues 10-meter distance in the future. his device to track a patient's vital from Stanford University and the Because the device reads vibrasigns without attaching sensors to University of Hawaii. tions, Lin also said he is trying to their bodies.

Investigation revealed university funds placed in former dean's possession LAWSUIT, from page 1 Calls to VanSusteren's home were answered, then disconnected. VanSusteren was first suspected in August, when a normal review of files showed a $3,500 discrepancy that eventually was traced to a check deposited into the dean's personal bank account. Investigators soon turned up the $25,000 check from Distance Learning. Meanwhile, beginning Aug. 31 VanSusteren reportedly gave $55,000 in anonymous donations to the program. He was informed of the internal investigation Oct. 1 and placed on administrative leave with pay beginning Oct. 18. In a December memo, Senior Associate Dean for Educational Affairs Robert Watson wrote that VanSusteren "accepted the wrongful acts" and asked to be allowed to resign, reports state. VanSusteren resigned in January. In March, he paid an extra $65,500 to achieve "full and final restitution," according to a letter written by Curtis. The investigation into VanSusteren's finances came on the heels of a sirilar case involving Kenneth Hillier, the former chief financial officer for the UF Foundation, the private fund-raising organization serving the university. Hillier was sentenced to eight years in prison in September after embezzling $850,000 from his organization. Health Science Center Communications Director Tom Fortner said that, while college officials believe VanSusteren's case is an "isolated incident," the college was reviewing its money-handling procedures. "Whenever you have an office that handles money, you want to be careful. You want to have established controls for how the money flows," Fortner said.

Philly band hits groove, label By JUNE CAPPIELLO Avenue Writer If you haven't heard of Circa Survive, you will Saturday when they open for Dredg at Common Grounds. The Philadelphia quintet will bring their indie-experimental sound to Gainesville, and you don't want to miss being one of the first to hear this fiery band. "Yo Bring a set of kneepads and went ta a helmet, as gun and b loss of bodily this kind control is just have t probable. you're a mi "You don't the way it's want to jump Colin F the gun and be circa Sur like, 'We're this kind of band,"' says guitarist Cohn Frangicetto. "You just have to accept that you're a misfit and that's the way it's going to be." The combination of killer instrumentals linked with thoughtful lyrics and front man Anthony Green's penetrating voice is what makes this moody-rock outfit one of a kind. Their resolution of not writing music for any particular genre is what gives Circa Survive the versatility in sound that keeps the listener interested and wanting more. It's hard to believe such a developed band has been together for only a year. But if anything, Circa Survive is probably another way to say "unconventional." Early in 2004, Green left California band Saosin to pursue one with Frangicetto. Equal Vision Records. signed them before they ever played a live show or had a permanent band name (or enough members). "We definitely did, everything ass-backwards," Frangicetto says. "We didn't play our first show until February [of this year]." Less than a year since their signing, Circa Survive is a five-piece, adding Brendan Ekstrom, Nick Beard and Steve Clifford. They're touring the nation with. their highly anticipated debut album, "Juturna,"released nationally in April, just two months after their very first live show. -"I think. when we'i u don't v i e of ra vi re driving the an there 'are i times when like, 'We re we all look band.'

"All five of our lives are completely changed because of a couple decisions we made." He said, at the same time, the band must be doing something right if everything is falling into place.

It's not hard to believe the members still feel an element of disbelief with things running so smoothly. "I feel like we just got people that matched each other," Frangicetto says. The track "Handshakes at Sunrise," and "The Inuit Sessions," seems to depict the relationship between the band members. "You kind of make an oath with your friends. regardless of whatever else happens outside your circle of friends, you're not going to stop," Frangicetto says. As a whole, everyone is focused on the same thing, he said. "This is definitely our time to do this," he says.

10, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2005 Men in White blast competition G gentlemen, what you aren't wearing may be hindering your sex life. I've watched you on campus and observed the night scene for over a week now, and honestly, I'm tired of seeing the same T-shirts from Hollister. Ladies, please feel free to back me up on this. A wardrobe of T-shirts is convenient and effortless, but a girl likes a man who takes pride in the way he looks. So guys, if you find your T-shirt collection of semantic slogans is not working with the fairer sex, I suggest you pay very close attention. What you need is a white linen shirt. With this juicy nugget of information, I give you the key to the city my friends, so take heed. Women love a man in a white linen shirt. "Why," you ask? Well, let me count the ways. First, this shirt emits masculinity. With the sleeves rolled up, you show off your perfectly crafted forearms. meow! Second, linen is the material of Ancient Greek gods; therefore, you aresophistication personified. Third, it's versatile -this shirt will wear perfectly with pants, shorts, cargos, denim or khaki. Fourth, you appear cool, relaxed and incredibly sexy, and that's the point, right? This effect is heightened when you leave open the top few buttons; but don't get overzealous, beware the disco look. And most important, we are defenseChristine less to your boyish charms when donning Steffens this shirt. Imagine, you are talking to a Fashion a Go-Go girl in a bar, and though you may be spittheavenue@algator.org ting verbal diarrhea, she hears oratorical fireworks. You are practically guaranteed 100 percent first-impression satisfaction. How many more reasons do you need? Gentlemen, this is the season for flings. Excuse me ladies, I mean romance. Don't waste any more opportunities for good loving in 2005 when sumuner hasn't even started, because you've already wasted most of May Remember, the clothes make the man. Forgive my triteness, but how do you think a cliche becomes a cliche? Next time you're out with your pals for a night of drunken debauchery, you won't have to worry whether or not you look good, because you know you do. But don't get cocky on me -arrogance is a complete 'Mermaid' poses question of desire Sue Monk Kidd The Mennaid Chair Viking Adult Sue Monk Kidd raises the number one question that has been plaguing men for centuries in "The Mermaid Chair"what do women really want? The novel echoes Kate .Chopin's "The Awakening," but if you hated reading that book, don't worry. This novel is far less depressing. Kidd's book takes place on a marshy island off the coast of South Carolina. The main character, Jessie, returns to the island, where she grew up, because her extremely religious mother is mutilating herself for mysterious reasons. While simultaneously taking care of her mother, she falls in love with a monk, discovers the true cause of her father's mysterious death, separates and reconciles with her husband, and paints pictures of mermaids. just a typical summer vacation. Like Kidd's last novel, "The Secref Life of Bee's," which I highly recommend, this book is a coming-of-age story, where the main character feels guilt for the death of a parent. Both books involve the intercession of saints, makeshift families, and powerful women friendships. Although, the -character who comes of age is a 42-year-old woman, so it really is more like a coming-of-middle-age .not that there is anything wrong with that. The imagery of the novel is gorgeous. Water "shines like taffeta," and air is "poached with incense." There are also some interesting questions -raised through Jessie's search for her own identity and for solutions to her mother's issues. Is religion a sanctuary or just a hiding place? Can you be sensual and spiritual at the same time? When is it OK to betray someone you love? Still, I have my complaints. Maybe it is because I loved the originality and the spunk behind "The Secret Life of Bees." The problems that the characters faced in that novel did not immediately disintegrate at the end of the novel. This made that novel th Jayme Gough Off the Press more real for me. I could empathize better with the eavenue@alligator.org characters. On the other hand, "The Mermaid Chair" feels at times like a Nicholas Spark's novel, and at times like harlequin romance. It's all too easy. Jessie slips from husband to lover, and then back and these poor men hardly complain. All because she's feeling-a little stifled. That seems a little fishy to me. But maybe that is what you will like about the book. So what if its not completely realistic? It has a happy ending, right? Yes, it has a happy ending, if nothing else. ,/ia/'+a *Il W.

Blame it on "School House Rock," but in the world of sexual fantasies, three is a magic number. On paper, the concept seems pretty fun. Where one is good, two must be better. And of course, the threesomes in pom always end happily. The idea of one plus one plus one equals fun. Then, I start thinking about myself. I'm the jealous type. Imagining myself in a threesome, I'd Mr. Lube be jealous, angry and Risqu6 Business gone long iteavenueealigaor.org before anyone's pants came off. So from my perspective, threesomes could only multiply frustrations. I started polling my friends who had threesomes for the details of sexual politics. All of my friends agreed on two points. First, they all said as strictly sex, threesomes are fun. Second, all said they would do it again if the circumstances were right. Unfortunately, finding the right circumstances becomes much harder than finding two willing bodies. From my data, I've gleaned a few things. When it comes to threesomes with couples in standing relationships, the sex always becomes a numbers game -two plus one. My one, a gay man, explained that he could only lie still while the couple pounced then passed him back and forth. Even among three singles, the aspect of competition can persist. A lesbian friend of mine became involved in a consistent threesome with a bisexual girl and a stupidly lucky straight man last spring. While my friend said the experience was one of the most enjoyable she's ever had, she said the three's subsequent attempts quickly turned into what she called a bi-girl gangbang. The happiest experience among my friends consisted of three gay men who were all single at the time.Adding it all up, people are still people. When people have sex, there is always the chance of jealousy and competition. S6 in the math of threesomes, reducing the number of variables seems to be the best solution.

THURSDAY, MAY 26, 200511 ALLIGATOR, 11 Local ska haunts CG J ae word "duppy" is taken from Ja maia folklore meaning a unruly spirit raised from a consecrated grave. And that's exactly what The Duppies will play on Friday at Common Grounds -music that haunts you and calls to you to listen to them again. "When most people think of ska, they think of punk rock kids with Mohawks," frontman Brian Hiebel says. "We kind of take a more serious approach to ska." The band is made up of eight guys brought together by a strong love for Jamaican ska and the Internet. I met with three members of the eight-piece ska band -Juan Cardenas, who plays bass guitar, Roger Cohen, the dnunmer, and Hiebel, the frontman and percussionist. Cardenas calls the three "the uterus of the band." Cardenas and Hiebel met at Mega Comics and Games. Both were enthusiastic about ska music and forming a band. Cohen said he found his way into theband throughgainesvillebands.com. The other members fell into place. Although The Duppies fell together, they didn't fall into ska music. They share a need and a passion for ska unfulfilled by mainstream radio. "That facet of music isn't represented in a wide medium anymore. We missed hearing it played live," Cardenas said. Cardenas said that Jamaican popular music has existed for more than 40 years with many Amanda different sub-geires Seyfang -ska, rock-steady, Playlist lover's rock, early theavenue@alligator.org reggae, skin-head reggae and others. "This music is celebratory music. Ska music came around in 1963 or 1962, after the Jamaican independence happened," Cardenas said. "This music was created with the sole purpose of uplifting peoples' spirits after all the years of colonialism." Cardenas said the band members' backgrounds come together to merge into ska music. Most of the members have side projects such as punk, blues and electronic groups. "We pay tribute to what we play," Cardenas said. "We're not doing imitations because that wouldn't be doing it justice." ON THE CHEAP $ Trift iha find hip, hangout By JESSICA WEINSTEIN Avenue Writer Gainesville can be an expensive town. When dinner and the movies don't seem worth the rising cost and live shows require one to shell out cash, what's a broke Gator to do? Music fans looking for a good time on the cheap can find the answer in a bright purple house that is a staple of the "student ghetto" neighborhood. Tim and Terry's Music and More, 1417 NW 1st Ave., is a sandwich counter, convenience store, guitar shop, bar and venue for local bands. The vibe is laid back and the shows are usually free. On weeknights the entertainment is the clientele itself, a diverse group of students and locals who come to jam. This amateur hour is one well spent. Monday night's "Modem Folk Jam" brings banjos, guitars, drums, mandolins, violins and their owners together to make noise and talk shop. Once I found myself whaling on the bongos with a band late into the night. I had never played drums before. For you thriftlings looking to learn more about an instrument, "The Purple Store" offers a great opportunity for informal lessons. Most people are happy to show you what they know. The food is good with some menu items in the 'money-yo-scrounged-doing-laundry' range. Two dollars will get you a "Musicians Friend," a hot dog and 16 oz soda. Cough up $2.50 for grilled cheese and a Red-Pop. For more complicated orders, expect to wait a while with a 50 percent chance your food will turn up as ordered. Those of you who are not underage may have better luck with your orders since Tim and Terry's has license to sell bottled alcohol. I recommend Tim and Terry's for its atmosphere. On a good day, it's possible to have a good time without spending a dime. The wraparound porch and backyard deck are perfect places to settle back with a drink on a su mer night, take in the music or even make some yourself. The best part: hanging out is always free. You need it. We offer the opportunity to get it.

12, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2005 New DMB pleases fans old and new Dave Matthews Band stand LIP RCA He did it. Again. Not wasting much time from his last live concert release, Dave Matthews joins his infamous band to create "Stand Up," the band's newest studio release since 2003Using techniques old and new, the album provides a breath of fresh air to hang to die-hard fans and attract new ones. The big-band sound that dominates DMB's early albums makes a much-welcomed return this time around. For disgruntled fans feeling the band lost its feverish passion way back in the '90s, tracks like "Everybody Wake Up" bring back the blaring, explosive music that helped DMB reach iconic levels. These are the tracks fans want to hear live at concerts -not the ones we use for bathroom breaks. In planning "Stand Up," however, the band must've thought about attracting new audiences and moving with the times. In an industry where Ashlee Simpson can sell one million records, talented bands must figure out a way to keep themselves appealing without losing their roots. The diverse tracks on "Stand Up" break apart DMB's legendary, yet intimidating, big-band sound, allowing new listeners to savor it one ingredient at a time. Like an elegant dish, each' track's importance to the outcome is vital. "Dreamgirl" opens the album with the fading chants of Dave' himself, mystifying listeners to come closer. "American Baby" plucks lightly at guitar melodies, foreshadowing music to come. "Out of My Hands" strips down to Dave Matthews on piano, a rarity in itself, telling a story of helplessness and vulnerability. Each song adds to the big picture. "Stand Up" takes chances a band must take to keep up with changing trends. DMB does not sell out Heather with this album -it invests Berger in the future. The band's Playlist loyal, Birkenstock-wearing hberger@alligator.org fans won't be disappointed either. DMB tours makes several stops in Florida this summer, including the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa oi July 14 and the Sound Advice Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach onJuly 16 and 17. Tickets are still available for these shows. Even with DMB's thirteenth release, its concept has not grown old -talented musicians, worthy messages and an unmistakable sound will always prevail. 't W ar' b ttles hit-season files here is no doubt the third installment of George Lucas's cash cow opened in a fury last Thursday. Grossing more than $50 million in its first night, "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" will surely go on to bok office glory, smashing opening weekend and all-time grossing records. However, the question in my mind is -could it have done better? While waiting in line among Storm Troopers, various Jedi and even Darth Vader to get into the theater on opening night, I felt that while the theater was impressively crowded, there wasn't the pandemonium I had anticipated. Yes, there were lots of the infamous die-hard fans dressed up and reenacting light saber duels, sound effects and all. But, I felt the turnout was not as big as I expected it to be. Despite the pre-sale tickets available, Regal Cinemas on 35th Boulevard still had open seats available to the 11:30 p.m. premiere at around 9 p.m. As one of the biggest movies opening this summe-, where were all the people? The answer hit me as I heard the Jedi next to me say, "Oh crap, I forgot to tape the season finale of CSI." The Jedi then proceeded to search his cell phone for other friends, or Jedis, who might have remernMelissa bered to tape Filipkowski the show. The Reel Life' While "Star theavenueoamigator.org Wars" films have loyal fans who directly contribute to their success, television show loyalty is becoming a growing trend. Can television's season finales battle against major movie openings? Last Thursday, we had a rare and epic battle between a movie giant and a massive television lineup. With CBS's "Survivor: Palau," "Without a Trace" and "CSI" all ending their seasons that evening, it' seemed that more people tuned into the tube to vatch season finales than went to see "Star Wars" on the silver screen. Altogether, the entire CBS Thursday lineup from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. brought in more than 44 million viewers. If CBS charged the average movie admission price of $6.50 to the 44 million viewers, the Thursday night season finales would have brought in a whopping $286 million. Although May sweeps will soon be over and Hollywood cinema will control the season, it seemed that in this case, the force was with TV.

Er.> 0 probable turn-around when Bryson Barber hit a pinch-hit double, and then scored on a grounder by Brian Leclerc that was misplayed by Arkansas second baseman John Marquardt. Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said his team outplayed the Gators for the first seven innings, but was on the wrong end of some lucky breaks. "When you're up 8-2, you think you just have to throw the ball in the strike zone and play defense," Van Horn said. "The next thing you know, they've turned it around. "We gave them opportunities that they took advantage of." -UF senior center fielder Jeff Corsaletti hit a two-run homer as part of the six-run eighth inning. "The guys coming off of the bench were a huge spark for us," Corsaletti said. "When I got up there, it was a 2-1 count and I was looking for a fastball to hit up the middle." Barton, another player to come off the bench for the Gators, drove in the winning run-to send the Razorbacks away in disbelief.

SpoR M ts THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org SEC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT Gators victorious after miracle 8th By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@alligator.org HOOVER, Ala. -The UF baseball team was primed for a letdown. The Gators rolled into the Southeastern Conference tournament after sweeping Vanderbilt in Nashville to clinch the SEC championship. The Razorbacks were itching for a chance at redemption after being swept by Mississippi last weekend, barely qualifying for the tournament. Both teams reversed momentum twice, with the Gators winning 9-8 Wednesday in the opening game for both squads. UF coach Pat McMahon said some people watching the game probably turned off their televisions. Those people would be surprised to see that the Gators (39-18) came back from an 8-2 deficit during a game that lasted three and a half hours. "We just reached down and tried to find a way to get it done," McMahon said. "If you keep battling away and getting quality at-bats, good things can happen." ..~-, --s,"" --" -Matt LaPorta slides safely into home in the first inning against Arkansas on Wednesday on an RBI single by Brian Jeroloman. Both teams sent a freshman left-handed pitcher out to start the game. Arkansas never trailed until the Gators scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Stephen Barton hit a walk-off single. The Razorbacks (37-19) scored two runs in the first inning off UF starter Stephen Locke, and added one more in the second inning. Those runs would be all Razorback starting pitcher Nick Schmidt would need. He pitched seven innings in which he allowed two runs and seven hits. "I really didn't have my best stuff tonight," Schmidt said. "I was leaving my breaking ball up in the zone." However, once Schmidt left the game, his impressive performance was overshadowed by a six-run eighth inning by the Gators that saw UF dominate the Arkansas bullpen. The Gators began an imSEE BASEBALL, PAGE 22 The secret e-mails of the Ricky Saban alliance fter all the bad blood, drugs and holistic workshops, the disgruntled, now-reborn Ricky Williams could be playing for the Miami Dolphins in 2005. So why the change of heart, you ask? Luckily, I was able to illegally intercept personal e-mails between Ricky and new Dolphins coach Nick Saban. If you're a member of the FBI, please disregard this column. It began with Saban introducing himself to Williams and asking Ricky to reveal future plans. Here are the rest of the messages written throughout a three-month period: RW: Coach, thanks for writing and sorry for the long delay in responding. I'm currently in India hanging with three Buddhist NBA Detroit 86 Miami 92 MLB Philadelphia 5 Florida 8 S-monks and smoking peyote with a former Playboy playmate. I'm not really digging football right now, but I am thinkAndrew ing of opening a Abramson fruit-smoothie stand Drew's Control in Coral Gables. aabramson@alligator.org Anyway, I'm about to play tetherball so I'll give you a shout out later. Peace. NS: Ricky, hope your tetherball game is as mean as your football game. I spoke to the mayor of Coral Gables and the city is overrun with smoothie stands -they're actually thinking of shutting down a couple. I'm glad to see you're living out the dream of most men by smoking peyote with a playmate, but how about your dream of playing pro sports that so few can ever experience? Ricky, you have your whole life to do drugs and hang out with monks. Your football career is slipping away. RW: Coach, greetings from Rwanda, where I'm spoon-feeding starving children. The playmate joined me on this voyage. I know what you're saying about my football career, but football is barbaric. Who wants to get the crap beat out of them for 10 years? Didn't you ever feel like quitting the game?

The Gators played their best season in history to date, finishing 42-17. Miami ran its record to 60-8 with the win. Tennis not done yet E MEN, WOMEN HAVE PLAYERS LEFT IN NCAA SINGLES. STAFF REPORT Both the UF men's and women's tennis teams may have been defeated in the NCAA Semifinals, but that did not end'the season for several players. On the men's side, senior Hamid Mirzadeh and freshman Greg Ouellette earned bids into the 64player NCAA singles tournament. In action Wednesday at College Station, Texas, Ouellette earned one of the few upsets of Mirzadeh the day as he defeated eighth-seeded Alex Vlaski of Washington, 7-5, 0-6, 6-2. Ouellette is now 37-9 this season in singles action. The freshman from Ormond Beach will play Stephane Rod of Virginia Tech on Thursday. However, Mirzadeh's collegiate singles career came to an end Wednesday as he fell to Pepperdine's Scott Doerner, 3-6, 7-6, 7-5. The senior finished this season with a 1613 mark, and spent the entire dualmatch season at court one. Mirzadeh and Ouellette will pair in doubles starting today. Since they are the fifth seed in the 32-team field, the pair has earned All-American status. It is Mirzadeh's fourth honor and Ouellette's first. They will play Arizona's Roger Matalonga and Colin O'Grady. WOMEN, TOO: Junior Jennifer Magley led the way as the first Gators player to reach the women's quarterfinals since 2002. Winning the hard way, Magley had another third-set rally to defeat Mississippi's Chloe Carlotti 4-6, 6-3, 7-5: In the deciding set, Magley was SEE TENNIS, PAGE 24 EMLB: New York Mets vs. Florida FSN, 7 p.m. EClassic Boxing: Muhammad Ali vs. Floyd Patterson (1) ESPN, 9 p.m. E If you can't get enough of UF baseball, you're in luck.

The playmate skipped town to join the Dave Matthews tour as a groupie, and I owe hundreds of dollars for my holistic studies. Football doesn't sound so bad right now. NS: Ricky, I just sent you $1,000 over PayPal. I think I know a bearded fella that would look great in a No. 34 aqua jersey right about now. Your locker is still intact and we've removed the dartboard with your face on it. We've even ordered a case of Prozac, and there are about six former Playmates here in Miami ready to jump on the Ricky bandwagon again. RW: Thanks Coach, see you this summer. By the way, is peyote a banned substance in the NFL? UF awaits NCAAs NS: Ricky, to tell you the truth, I was ready to quit football for good in Oct. when my former team, LSU, seemed uninterested in my antics. I was going to retire and grow potatoes in Idaho. But then we played the Florida Gators. We were losing in the fourth quarter and suddenly it all came together and we spanked the Gators in the Swamp. I looked over at UF coach Ron Zook and said to myself, 'I need to keep coaching because not everyone gets to coach forever.' RW: Haha. Yeah, Zook was pretty bad. I guess football can be a key ingredient to healing a wounded soul. a' P n
