STUDENT LIFE
Wage raise impacts UF
By CRISTYLE WOOD
Alligator Writer
cwood@alligator.org
Many UF department heads
charged with managing their
budgets have been scrambling
since an initiative to increase
Florida's minimum wage went
into effect last month, allot-
ting more than 4,500 student
employees as much as a dollar
more per hour.
"Every department man-
ages their own budget, so they
will work out any changes,"
UF Vice President for Finance
and Administration Ed Poppell
said.
Only employees hired
through Other Personnel
Services are affected, since the
minimum wage for full-time
UF employees is $8.50 per hour,
which is more than $2 above
the new state standard, Poppell
said.
The Other Personnel Services
program, which is funded by
the state and provides on-cam-
pus jobs for students enrolled
at least part-time at UF, in-
creased its wages from $5.15
to $6.15 after the constitutional
amendment to create a Florida
minimum wage passed on the
November ballot.
The measure received more
than 70-percent voter support.
While some may think local
businesses and UF have been
affected negatively by the mini-
mum-wage increase, the gen-
eral consensus among student
workers is positive.
"It's nice to have more
money," said Molly McKinney,
a building supervisor at
Southwest Recreation Center,
whose hourly wage was $5.35
before the increase.
McKinney is among almost

he hopes Student Government
increases funding to offset the
higher payroll.
"[The wage increase] is go-
ing to have a dramatic impact,"
Bowles said. "We're currently
trying to calculate a figure."
Bowles said he hopes they
are not forced to reduce ser-
vices.

UF golfer makes
cut for U.S. Open
* EVERY QUALIFIED ON
THE FIFTH PLAYOFF HOLE.
By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligator.org
After finishing in a tie for
85th at the NCAA champion-
ships one of the worst per-
formances in his otherwise
illustrious college career Matt
Every responded the only way
he knows how.
The UF junior surprisingly
qualified for the U.S. Open,
earning a spot on a fifth play-
off hole after a two-round total
of a .7-under 135 in the sec-
tional qualifiers at Woodmont
Country Club in Rockville,
Md.
"I can talk myself out of
slumps," Every said of his per-
formance in the NCAA cham-
pionship. "I just told myself
it was a fluke and I came out
firing in the qualifier."
It wasn't easy. Without
the luxury of a course-leader
board, Every thought he had
it won when he birdied the
18th hole. He soon learned he
would be in a playoff for five
spots with eight others, includ-
ing six PGA Tour veterans.

Eight quickly became three,
and on the third playoff hole

UF officials might
pull Growl funding
Bill could die on VP's desk
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
Gator Growl soon may hush to a whimper after Student
Government officials reported that.UF administrators could veto an
appropriation to fund the event as early as today.
A bill passed in the Student Senate two weeks ago allocating
$340,000 of student money to help fund the Florida Blue Key-run
Gator Growl is allegedly being questioned by Vice President for
Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin, who oversees SG decisions.
"A responsible review has been already
U17 underway, as I am looking at this issue very
Administration carefully," Telles-Irvin wrote in an e-mail.
"Please rest assured that due diligence is be-
ing followed and that we are working very hard to make sure that the
best interests of the student body are kept at the forefront. [UF] will
not take any course of action that is illegal in this issue."
Telles-Irvin declined comment to the Alligator on Wednesday.
Student Body President Joe Goldberg said he signed the bill and
it now sits in Telles-Irvin's office, adding she questioned the bill's
logistics and how SG reserves work.

Alumnus honors roots
By MELISSA FILIPKOWSKI
Alligator Contributing Writer
It seems teaching the principles of assets
and liabilities has turned out to be a huge as-
set to UF a $1.4 million asset, to be exact.
UF accounting alumnus Bernard H.
Berkman has pledged to donate $1.4 million
to UF's Fisher School of Accounting to es-
tablish the Bernard H. Berkman Accounting
Enrichment Fund. Income generated from
the fund will support teaching, research and
programs within the school.
"Any success I have attained in my
professional career I attribute to the educa-
tion I received at the University of Florida,"
Berkman said in a press release.
"Supporting UF's accounting program is
just one way I felt I could express my appre-
ciation and help provide for students follow-
ing the same path I followed in my career."
Berkman, a 1960 graduate of the
Warrington College of Business, had more
than 35 years in the accounting field with
companies such as Deloitte & Touche and
Collective Bancorp before retiring in 1999.
Berkman's orange-and-blue roots
have been strong throughout his career.
He is a charter member of the UF Alumni
Association and co-founded the Nassau
County Gator Club in 2004, which is now
174 members strong.
Administrators in the accounting school
said they are pleased with the donation
and are planning to use the money to make
improvements to UF's already prestigious
accounting program.
"Mr. Berkman's gift will provide criti-
cal resources for the school as it strives for
programmatic excellence," said Joel S.
Demski, associate dean of
On the Warrington College of
Campus Business and director of the
Campus Fisher School, in a press re-
lease. "Affirmations, such as
Mr. Berkman's, are what sustain the school,
the college and the university in its commit-
ment to academic leadership and its role as
the state's flagship university."
UF accounting junior Mike Fera agrees
with Demski and believes the gift will fur-
ther aid UF's accounting program.
"The accounting school has made smart
decisions with previous monetary donations
in the past," Fera said, referring to the newly
constructed accounting building, Gerson
Hall. "I believe the money will only help UF
students excel in the accounting classrooms,
as well as help UF students make a positive
mark in the accounting workplace."
UF earns literacy grant
By DAN ONEY
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF's Lastinger Center for Learning is
among 21 Florida organizations slated
to share a $700,000 grant for literacy
programs statewide.
Gov. Jeb Bush announced this week
in a press conference that the Lastinger
Center will play a central role in his
Family Literacy Initiative.
"[Increasing literacy] is the' key to
opening the doors of opportunity and
success in life," Bush said.
Created in 2001, the Lastinger
Center, which is part of the College of
Education, is a school-improvement
partner working with 14 high-poverty
elementary schools across Florida.
UF professors will use the grant to
"embed" themselves at "practice sites"
in Apopka and Immokalee and deter-
mine which. teaching methods are most
effective.
Since the governor began his Family
Literacy Initiative in 1999, more than
9,000 adults and children have gradu-
ated from its 115 centers throughout the
state, according to a report released this
week.
A key part of
Bush's literacy initia-
tive is the traditional
focus of the center on
involving the family
in the child's learning
experience, said Don
Pemberton, direc-
Bush tor of the Lastinger
Center.
"We want to make literacy a family
value in their communities," he said.
-According to Program Director
Alyson Adams, UF was awarded the
grant because of the collaboration it
breeds among teachers and learning.
"Once we figure out what those two
sites are doing to make them so success-
ful, then we will convert it into a cur-
riculum," Adams said.

UF-built robot car to race
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
A car built by UF students will race some
of the toughest and most expensive vehicles
in the country with no one sitting behind
the wheel.
The robotic vehicle known as NaviGATOR
was one of 40 semifinalists picked Monday
to go to California in September to compete
against other robotic vehicles with hopes
of earning a spot in the finals and a chance
to compete for a $2 million purse in the
Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research
Project Agency Grand Challenge 2005.
The race, hosted by the Pentagon to pro-
mote research in autonomous vehicle tech-
nology, tests applications that can be used by
the military, like surveying a battlefield.
"We're happy and we're thrilled to be in,"
said Dave Armstrong, project manager for
the team from the UF Center for Intelligent
Machines and Robotics that built the car.
"At the same time, we realize we're going
to spend the next four months killing our-
selves," he added.
About 13 of the 15 members of the racing
team are students, Armstrong said.
The 40 semifinalists will battle for 20 spots
in an October race, where robotic vehicles
travel 150 miles across desert roads without
any human intervention and using only on-
board computers.
"Once the race starts, [the robotic vehicle
is] completely on its own," Armstrong said.
"We could go to lunch and watch it on TV."
What drives the NaviGATOR is a com-
bination of 13 high-speed computers, eight
sensor systems, at least one of three $50,000
global positioning systems and a device that
fuses all the information toitell the car where
and where not to go.
It also has a 150-horsepower Honda en-
gine that enables it to reach speeds as high
as 50 mph.
Despite the top-notch equipment, which
totals about $250,000 plus labor, Armstrong
said the car, working at full capacity, would
still only have the brainpower of.a mouse.
"It can't drive anything close to a hu-
man," he said. "Getting a machine to think
and recognize obstacles is going to be a very
difficult task."
"Once the race starts, [the ro-
botic vehicle is] completely on its
own."
Dave Armstrong
Team ClMAR project manager
Team member Danny Kent, a mechanical
engineering graduate student, said he and
the other team members have worked seven
days a week in preparation for the event.
"Some people I don't think quite grasp
just how hard it is," he said. "Trying to take
luck out of the equation is really hard."
Once the race starts, the NaviGATOR's
positioning system will be able to tell it
exactly where it is within 10 cm, compared
to a distance of 3 meters for most consumer
positioning systems.
"Our [positioning system] is better than
what.you would typically use," Armstrong
said, adding that the added accuracy could
mean the difference between staying on the
road and falling off a rocky cliff.

Officials hope wage increase will not alter services provided to students
WAGES, from page 1
available," he said.
Minor adjustments based on participation levels,have been
made to recreational programs to finish out the fiscal year,
which ends June 30, he said.
"I don't want this to have an impact on the services we pro-
vide for students," he said.
But Stefanie Simon, recreational program assis-
Student tant, said services already have been impacted.
Life Student Recreational Facilities hired a full staff
at the beginning of the Summer but must now
reduce shifts in an attempt to retain employees, according to
Simon, a third-year exercise and sports science major.
Meanwhile, McKinney said that while she enjoys her
raise, she has noticed that the number of student workers at
Southwest Recreation Center has been reduced.
"I know they've cut a lot of shifts because the Student Rec
Center used to have two building supervisors and a floor man-
ager each shift and now only has one of each," she said.
Open qualifier confident
Like a fine wine
Nine of Virginia's top wineries gathered in Charlottesville for the Ash Lawn-Highland Wine Festival. Co-
ordinator Nancy McAdams believes a mix of new and well-established wineries keeps the show fresh,
interesting and fun. "While wine tasting is serious business, it never should be boring," she said.
GOLF, from page i
tinue on the fourth playoff
hole, when Every missed an
identical six-foot putt, but
David Kirkpatrick bogeyed
and it was down to two.
Finally on the fifth, Every
watched Paul Goydos miss
a 15-footer. With all eyes on
Every, he sunk a 10-footer and
clinched the final spot.
"At first I was just glad I
made the putt," Every said. "I
kind of sat there and looked
at my caddy. He had his hand
out like he wanted to give me
five. I said '[forget] that' and
gave him a hug because I was
so happy."'
Before the NCAA champi-
onships, Every was confident
he could qualify for the tourna-
ment, although some of his UF
teammates weren't as sure.
Now the amateur will have
a chance to prove he is not just
one of the best golfers in col-
lege, but that he can perform
with the pros.
"It's cool to be in it, it's.
surreal, but after that playoff I
know I can compete out there.
I probably will," Every said. "I
might go there and play awful.
I doubt it, but I might. But I
can go there, play awesome
and make the cut and have a
respectable week."
Despite earning a spot in the
Open on the fifth playoff hole,
Every still thinks he could have
performed better.
"To tell you the truth, that
was the worst I could have shot
in the qualifier. I played aw-
ful," he said.
"But I. made
a 15-foot putt
in my last
hole. It was
very intense.
o U I'm glad it's
over."
Every Every has
no time to
restbeforeheadingtoPinehurst,
N.C., for the Open. He is cur-
rently in Wisconsin while he
competes in the Palmer Cup, a
competition between amateurs
from the United States and the
United Kingdom, today and
Thursday.
Then it's on to Pinehurst,
where the Open begins June
16.
"I'm just going to go there to
have fun, and try my [tail] off."
SG leaders say Growl may disappoint without SG funds; others question legality
GROWL, from page 1
"I was under the ,impression that Gator
Growl needed this money to make the show
happen," he said. "The reason that I was
satisfied with the bill is because we were giv-
ing students the opportunity to attend Gator
Growl for free."
Senate President Pro Tempore John Boyles
said that about 45 minutes before the bill's sec-
ond reading May 24, members of the executive
cabinet and Senate received word that Telles-
Irvin would veto SG's proposal to bring free
Growl tickets to .24,000 students.
"The message came ... that if we passed the
bill, she wasn't going to sign it," he said. "If there
is a decision to veto the bill, this would be the
first time possibly ever that this has been done."
But he said leaders did not want to tell
student senators about the bill because Telles-
Irvin's message did not come first-hand.
"I think that the reason
I behind not making a big
deal about it is because
I none of us directly talked
to [Telles-Irvin]," he said.
'It was a pretty intense
message. We wouldn't
want to paint a picture of
Telles-Irvin her in a bad light."
Goldberg said he sup-
ports keeping the bill on the agenda.
"We don't do things for the administration;
we do things for the students," he said. "I ap-
plaud the Senate leaders for keeping the bill
on the agenda. That was just too late. We can't
be called at the last minute and expect to stop
all our business."
Sources close to the Senate said they were
shocked to hear they were not told about the
message before it was debated.
However, others outside SG agree that ve-
toing the bill is the right move.
"If the university allows this misuse of the
A&S Fee, I am determined to seek legal ac-
tion from the courts to prevent that misuse of
funds," UF teaching assistant Charles Grapski
said. "I'm hoping that she will take proper ac-
tion. I think the issue is crystal clear: If students
have to pay for a ticket, and [SG is] subsidizing
it, [students] are paying twice."
Grapski said he is concerned that UF ad-
ministration could use a "semantic loophole
in a bureaucratic way to take an illegal act and
make it appear legal" by stating SG will fund
Homecoming 2005, not FBK or Growl.
Boyles said if the bill is vetoed, this year's
Growl may be a disappointment.
"It won't be at the same level that the stu-
dents and the alumni are used to," he said.
Growl Producer Robert Carmody said he
doesn't "want to think about the what-ifs yet."
Boyles added that the technical aspects of
the show would not be up to par, and fire-
works would be a memory.
"I would hope that if the vice president
decides to veto the bill that she comes to
the Senate and explains why," he said. "I
would hope that there wouldn't be any
tension."

Editorial
One could say the smooth operators at the Department of
Darts & Laurels are spending too much time together, which
is why we now all have head colds.
Our illness might be the logical result of too many late
nights spent outside along University Avenue in the rain. But
we think it has more to do with the twists our necks have
taken in the last week from repetitive double-take action.
It's almost as if the controversy gods have heeded
our call and added some spice back into the normally
doldrumatic Summer A. Not that we can taste anything.
But since we wrote this while attempting to stamp out a per-
vasive throb in our skulls, our choice of gifts this week was a
little unorthodox.
We're feeling a little better, thank you, but it won't keep us
from diving.into the wackiness with this week's edition of...
Darts & Laurels
For our first award, we go directly to the ivory (well, red-
brick) towers of Tigert Hall and deliver a thank-you-for-end-
ing-the-madness LAUREL to UF President Bernie Machen,
who named a new provost last week after more than a year
of uncertainty.
Machen sent the search committee back to the drawing
board after he didn't see enough promise in their initial rec-
ommendations. We applaud his courage in waiting until he
could be comfortable with his choice.
In that spirit, we adorn a do-you-really-know-what-
you're-getting-into LAUREL onto the pressured shoulders
of new Provost Janie Fouke.
Fouke undoubtedly will be in a constant state of transition
for the next two months, as she must move from Michigan to
Gainesville and have her agenda ready to go by Aug. 15.
Good luck, Dr. Fouke. We hope this LAUREL is the first
of many.
Turning now to the Reitz Union, we dish out a ive-can-
be-on-the-same-side-sometimes LAUREL to Student Body
President Joe Goldberg, for standing his ground in the face
of administrative pressure.
That's right, a LAUREL for Joe Goldberg.
Allegedly, Goldberg heard from UF officials that if he
signed a bill paying $340,000 to Florida Blue Key for Gator
Growl, it would be vetoed. He signed it anyway.
We don't agree with the content of the bill, and this is not
any change of heart on our part. But if administrators are
going to monkey with student money -m which is by Florida
law under student control they should be out in the open
about it.
We're too sick to leave campus, so we muster all our
strength to throw a what-part-of-public-records-don't-you-
understand DART at Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski and
his staff.
A too-liberal usage of a black marker by the Dean's Office
left an entire e-mail blacked out of a public-records request.
There's no way every word and symbol could have been ex-
empt from the public-records laws.
We can't prove the offending e-mail was sent between
a UF official and former Student Body Vice President
Jennifer Puckett, and we can't prove the discussion in-
volved the dismissal of a Student' Government cabinet
director and bypassing the application process to put a
new director in place.
The appearance of impropriety leaves us shaking our heads.
It was a move both ballsy and illegal. But mainly, illegal.
And it shows how close student leaders get to climbing
into bed with UF officials.
But we'll end the pajama party with the all-around best cure
for our ills: a few rounds of 3-for-1 Jager Bombs at 2:01 a.m.
That should do the trick.

O i fne voting Wo PRuNY.., igY- i pa! -
Column
Online voting keeps running in place
U F's Student Government sure is looking a lot like the
big boys in Washington these days.
It used to be the federal government was the
place to find politicos sitting on their butts, ignoring the
public and otherwise doing anything they can to delay the
in e i t.i l ... ... ... .... ..
Not anymore.
Why does SG need the entire summer to come up with a
"recommendation" regarding online voting?
Online voting isn't a decision. The decision has been
made.
In order to get online voting on the ballot, a certain
number of signatures was required. That number was
surpassed.
End of story.
Of course, there was sone fumbling on the part of the
petition's authors that allowed the defenders of the status
quo to defeat it on a loophole.
There's no excuse now.
The investigation this summer isn't going to find
anything new. The same concerns have existed since the
inception of the program, and they've all been repeated so
many times that students might actually think they're still
problems.
Opponents are afraid of security concerns.
That's been addressed see the 30 billion articles, edito-
rials and columns printed in the Alligator over the past few
years. Accelerated Data Works has been more than happy
to suggest more and more ways to beef up protections on
the students' information and to keep voting legit.
Opponents are afraid it will cost too much money.
OK, I made that one up.
But this is UF, the land of Bright Futures and thousands
of students trying to figure out how to make the most
money with the least work. '
So, everyone here should. be able to appreciate the
bottom line: Online voting would save us a crapload of
money.
The Spring election cost an esti-
mated $39,827.65 and counting.
Online voting is supposed to cost
around $2C000 per er tion un
Paper elections mean a lot of
Matt Sanchez work for students.
Pure Foppery Online voting doesn't.
I'm a journalist, so I'm not really
msanchez@alligator.org a numbers-y type of guy. But I think
those figures speak for themselves.
Finally, opponents are afraid
Greek organizations and other student groups will exploit
the system-to make their members vote the way they want.
The truth is, they already do. They will continue to do so,
no matter what changes in the voting process.
If the members of these organizations can't or won't
stand up for themselves, then they're going to continue do-
ing what their superiors want;
In fact, these organizations don't want online voting any
more than the old guard in SG do. They want to do what is
best for themselves, which is to keep voting as exclusive as
possible.
They know there's only one way to get average students
to vote, and that's to make it so they can vote with a beer in
one hand, naked, during a commercial break, at 4 o'clock in
the morning.
That's why they want online voting out and that's
why, so far, online voting has been kept out.
And students, aren't active enough in SG right now to
stop them.
My prediction, as much as it pains me, is online voting
will not be implemented as long as Joe Goldberg and his
Gator Party buddies are in office.
I hope I'm proven wrong, but I doubt it.

Letters to the Editor
Story on collision contains bad reporting
Editor. I'd like to reference your newspaper
dated June 2 and the front-page article "Crash
on Southwest 34th Street..."
My daughter, Sandy D'Elosua, was in that
car accident, and your newspaper sensational-
ized the story so that she appeared at fault.
If your reporters had thoroughly investi-
gated the situation, they would have known
that the driver of the other car, a young 21-
year-old man, was cited by the police officer
and that Sandy was not at fault.
She was the victim, however, who received
major injuries that required surgery and will
require extensive rehabilitation.
Your article was very harmful to her per-'
sonal reputation and her mental state during
this traumatic time. It is simply an example of
sensationalism at its worst.
I would like to see a follow-up article that
gives the truth to the accident and doesn't
paint my daughter in a negative light.
The young man who is responsible for the
accident has done enough damage.

Stem-cell research debate more complex
Editor: While it pleases me to note the
discussion of stem-cell research in Tuesday's
column, I fear Mr. Blye has omitted a fact- or
two in attempting to make his point.
The restriction in federal policy applies
only to funding new stem cell lines. There is
little to stop a major pharmaceutical company
from using donor embryos to manufacture
-new lines and conduct research so long as the
funding comes purely from private sources.
These companies, however, are. not
attempting this and with good reason.
Embryonic stem cells just are not showing the
type of promise that justifies private funding.
Why should the government finance it?
That's just bad business, whatever your
:view of its morality.

Tough-love grading crucial to success
Editor: I just finished reading the article by
Matt Sanchez regarding removing grades in
Palm Beach elementary schools. I have to say
this is quite possibly the best article I've ever
read in the Alligator.
I couldn't agree more with what Mr.
Sanchez had to say: Our country is accepting
mediocrity, and we're paying for it. Everyone
is too scared to hurt someone's feelings or re-_
warda person over another.
It all began with removing dodgeball from
physical-education classes.
Now, as silly as it may seem, think about it:
The kid who kids picked last, knocked out first
and mocked in elementary school that's the
kid who goes to Harvard just to show the bul-
lies who's better now.
Then the "bullies" open their own business
to show they don't need college to be better.
See, this "one-upping" one another is what
our whole country is based on. If you want to
make sure that everyone is treated equally,
why don't we just give equal portions of in-
come to everyone?
Oh wait, that's Communism, and we see
how well tl.It', url,.-d )ut.
We're raising-a bunch of kids who are go-
ing to grow up expecting to be equal with ev-
eryone else when in reality, they're the furthest
thing from it.
So, stop giving trophies to all teams, bring
back dodgeball and grab your red pens; I want
my kid to know he's either better or worse.

Later Gator cancellation the wrong.move
Editor: I sent this letter to Student
Government in hopes that. they, would over-
turn the foolish decision to get rid of Later
Gator bus services for Summer A:
"I read today in the Alligator that the Later
Gator has been canceled for Summer A. I re-
ally hope that this is a misprint. I know it's not,
but I cannot believe that such a foolish choice
THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 7
has been made by my elected representatives.
Did we forget the reason why Later Gator was
established?
Just because there are fewer people going
downtown during Summer A, it doesn't make
drunk driving any less-dangerous. This is not
a financial issue; this is a security issue.
I could understand a cutback, maybe go-
ing from three buses to one bus that makes
sense, but to completely get rid of it is just a
bad decision. Imagine what the consequences
would be for this choice if, God forbid, a stu-
dent, did get into an accident coming from
downtown. All because you want to save a
couple hundred bucks.
The reality is, it's just not worth it. I really
hope that this is not an irreversible decision
and that it can be remedied before it costs too
much. My life is not worth the money you're
saving, and I'm sure everyone else feels the
same way."
I only hope they realize the magnitude of
this decision.
This is just another cutback from SG that
we will never see again.
I am an advocate of SG, they do some really
great things, but when was the last time one of
these cutbacks showed up somewhere else? It
seems the money just vanishes.
Why didn't Joe tell us where the money's
going? I'm sure we can figure this out.

UF RESEARCH
Scientists get grant for Parkinson's
By MELISSA GARCIA
Alligator Contributing Writer
Judy Whitmore was diagnosed with
Parkinson's disease at the age of 54.
Six years later, she can still make par on
the golf course.
Whitmore is one of hundreds with
Parkinson's disease who have benefited
from participating in therapy and clini-
cal research at UF's Movement Disorders
Center and the McKnight Brain Institute.
Dawn Bowers, director of the institute's
Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, will
begin a new study on Parkinson's disease
in July after receiving a $1.7 million grant
from the National Institutes of Health's-
National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke.
Parkinson's disease is a disorder
caused by the degeneration of neurons in
parts of the brain integral to making dopa-
mine, a neurotransmitter.
More than 1.5 million Americans have
Parkinson's disease and experience a
variety of symptoms, including tremors,
slowed movement, poor balance and
slow speech, according to the National
Parkinson Foundation Web site.
Bowers' research grant will fund a
four-year study on a common side effect
of Parkinson's disease that hinders the
ability to produce facial expressions.
While most researchers have to apply
for grants two or three times before being
funded, her application for the grant was
accepted in'July 2004 on its first submis-
sion, she said.
"It was the right study at the right
review session with the right reviewers
who liked it," she said. "It could have just
as easily gone the other way. A lot of it is
serendipity."
Bowers' research team includes
Michael Okun and Hubert Fernandez,
,both associate professors of neurology,
and Christine Sapienza, professor and
associate chair of the department of com-
munication sciences and disorders.
Testing a group of 100 people with the
disease, the team will use video clips to
elicit expressions and record them.
"It used to be that people
thought heroes rode on white
horses. But for those of us with
Parkinson's disease, they may
be people with a white coat."
Judy Whitmore
Parkinson's support group leader
Some of the video clips include bug-
eating scenes from "Fear Factor,", the
"brain-eating" scene from "Hannibal"
and scenes from "America's Funniest
Home Videos," Bowers said.
By subtracting each 30-millisecond
video frame, the researchers can measure
exactly how much movement occurred on
the face, she said.
In a previous study used to develop
this measurement method, a woman with
Parkinson's disease asked to see what she
looked like on her videotape.
"We showed her the videotape, and
she -burst into tears," Bowers said. "She
said she had no idea that she looked so
flat. She remembered herself as someone
who was much more emotive."
Lack of facial expression affects the
way spouses, family members and even
healthcare providers interact with people
with Parkinson's disease, she said. -
Patients are sometimes misdiagnosed
with depression or apathy due to the
problem, she said.
With her research, she hopes to develop
a convenient and affordable treatment for
those who are frustrated by the symptoms
of the disease, she said.
Participants will receive a breathing
device that requires them to blow out with
more force, working both facial and respi-
ratory muscles, Bowers said.
They will exercise with the device at
home five times per day for four weeks
and then return to the lab to have their fa-
cial expressions measured again, she said.
Bowers expects the breathing therapy
to make facial muscles more active and
able to be more expressive, she said.
"I suspect this is going to work," she
said. "It's just like going to the gym helps
people tone up."
To see if the benefits of breathing ther-
apy are temporary, patients will be asked
to stop using the breathing device for
three months and then be tested for any
loss of facial expression ability, she said.
Test subjects will be studied both on
and off dopamine medication and also
participate in conversations and struc-
tured interviews to check for improve-
ments in speech and vocalization.
Judy Whitmore, leader of a
Parkinson's support group, said she
and her group have a strong interest in
the research.
"It used-to be that people thought he-
roes rode on white horses," she said. "But
for those of us with Parkinson's disease,
they may be people with a white coat."
With the help of doctors, medical re-
search and exercise therapy, Whitmore
said several members of her group who
used to be confined to wheelchairs now
are walking with canes.

Tragedy of Giving rocks toward video game fame
Justin Sclafani and Jacob
Addicott eat at- Moe's
Southwest Grill on Newberry
Road every day. Literally.
The dark-haired, soft-spoken
guys from South Florida sit in a
booth, eating their Moo Moo Mr.
Cows (chicken, in case you were
wondering), perfectly content.
Their quiet, relaxed nature
makes it difficult to believe they're
in Tragedy of Giving, a melodic
hard-rock band that's new to the
Gainesville scene.
But Sclafani and Addicott are
no strangers to the stage they've
been playing together for eight
years with Sclafani on guitar and
Addicott rocking the mic.
The two moved from Miami in
October to start a band in Gainesville
because it was a convenient area to
live. It's only a couple hours from
most major cities in Florida, which
makes it easier to tour. Addicott's
brother attends
school here, so .
they had a place
to stay, and the -' :
town is accom- '
modating to .
bands.
"Miami isn't
like... rock music," Addicott says.
"The venues don't really cater to
hard rock."
By December, after having gone
through several trial members, they
added Cris Wise on drums and Tim
McCallum onbass.
They've played a number of
thi
shows since the band's inception,
and they hope to embark on their
first tour as Tragedy of Giving soon.
The sound produced by the
four has been aptly characterized
as "intellectual
rage." It's dark,
June but melodic, and
Capiello Addicott's voice
Playlist is impeccable.
eavenue@alligator.org "I listen to a
lot softer music
than the rest of
the band... which is kinda why the
lyrics aren't like, 'KILL, DIE,'" says
Addicott.
The band also plays acoustic
songs during their set, which should
appeal to all audiences.
Tragedy of Giving has been doing
exceptionally well for how young it
is. Their song "Bumble Me" was get-
ting radio play on local stations after
only their second show, and another
song, "Sink Slow," may soon ap-
pear in an EA Games football video
game, as well as a compilation CD
called "Warped Tour: Sounds of
Summer," which will be released by
Blood Loss Alliance.
"But we don't know if it's a
scam," Sclafani says with a laugh.
The tracks were recorded at
Sclafani and Addicott's house for
free; Sclafani went to the School of
Audio Engineering in Miami.
"We do all of our Web site, flyers,
and all recordings," Sclafani said.
Thus far, the band is happy with
the way they are settling.
"We got a good start," Addicott
said. "It's cool to hang out with peo-
ple your own age and not these 40
year-old scuzzbuckets in their satin
shirts [in Miami]."
And if things keep progressing as
they have these few short months,
Addicott may eventually get his
wish: "[Ten years from now] it'd be
cool to be signed and making mu-
sic... and we want to be sponsored
by Moe's."

Serenity costs only two carrots
This week's cheap outing was
exactly that admission cost
only two carrots.
Yes, I meant carrots.
Mill Creek Farm hosts a re-
tirement home for horses. On
Saturday, owners Peter and Mary
Gregory open the farm to the public.
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., you can stroll
the rolling fields, feeding the horses
as you go.
The farm takes in equines seized
by the government, the SPCA and
the Humane Society. Once at Mill
Creek, the horses live out their days
receiving food, veterinary care and
plenty of pasture. They are never
worked or ridden again.
It had been awhile since I'd seen
one of the beautiful and gentle
creatures up close, so I packed a
picnic lunch, grabbed a friend and
headed north up 1-75 for a relaxing
Saturday.
For some reason I was expecting
the place to be deserted. Instead, the
owners, some volunteers and a few
families greeted me.
Once walking the corral-lined
path, I enjoyed some time away
from the thousands who surround
me every day on campus.
It was definitely nice to look
around and see
nothing but green
fields and horses
- lots and lots of
horses.
While it only
takes two carrots
to get in, it's a
good idea to bring along a whole
bag. Mill Creek houses more than
100 horses that previously worked
as circus performers, racers and sub-
jects of medical testing.
At times, the place made me feel
melancholy. Some of the horses were
abused in their past. Hearing their
stories and sensing their demeanor
added a sobering depth to my pleas-
ant day in the country.
However, the place has a sense of
peace and tranquility. While angered
by the horses' pasts, my feelings
were tempered just knowing that
Mill Creek serves to combat these
injustices, or at least to spare some.
If you care
Jessica about animals,
Weinstein you will be grate-
On the Cheap ful to the Gregorys
theavenue@alligator.org for -what they do.
If you like horses,
or simply need a
reminder that UF
is surrounded by farmland, Mill
Creek is the place to go.
If the weather is good, bring your
books and a bag lunch, but be pre-
pared to leave promptly at 3 p.m.,
when the Gregorys close their gate
to the public.

Lou Reed DVD captures his classics
Spanish Fly: Live in Spain
Starring Lou Reed
Not Rated
Release date: June 7, 2005
You put in the DVD and there he is in all his faded glory:
Lou Reed.
He survived to sing-speak songs of spikes-in-arms,
whores and Edgar Allan Poe.
Along with Iggy and Bowie, he is the third in the un-
holy trinity of drugged-out-freakazoid-alien artists. He's
miraculously around to enjoy his recent resurgence by some
misstep of fate or sacrifices of young virgins (I prefer the
latter.)
And what does Lou do?
He smiles, for he is surely having the best time of his life.
"Spanish Fly: Live in Spain" is a pseudo-greatest hits
DVD featuring a live concert of Reed at the Benicassim
Festival in 2004. The wonderfully arbitrary soccer chant styl-
ings of "Ole Ole Ole" at the conclusion of the concert is the
only reminder of the locale.
Of course, he is not alone.
Reed's four-piece band consists of a guitar, bass, drums
and cello set-up. The multiracial, mixed-gender band is
solid, except for the rock 'n' roll cello. in "Venus in Furs,"
Jane Scarpantoni steps into awesomeness, adapting the
Velvet Underground-Reed style by playing a stabbing,
grinding solo.

Reed, though, is the deserving star.
Amazingly (well, not considering the virgins thing),
he has held up exceedingly well for a man of his rocking
past. His voice (and dare I say his body) is in great shape,
handling his existential narratives with ease. His lead guitar
is solid, and he pieces together a couple of impressionistic
guitar solos.
Most interesting is the enthusiasm he puts into each
song, acting out lyrics with waves of his arms as he smiles
mischievously.
Something, though, must be mentioned, for it is painfully
missing from his performance: mystique.
I had to sit there for a while before I picked up on it. As I
watched this giddy old man playing his guitar in a rockin'
band in black sweat pants (yes), it came to me. The bright
lights and overhead camera shots allow the viewer to see
tape markings on the floor, cameramen going in for close-
ups of Reed, and gasp! a monitor for Reed to, urn, read
the lyrics.
Reed's songs reflect a dark narrator in an urban land-
scape of sin. Sweat pants and smiles do more than a little to
hurt that effect.
Still, Lou Reed's new DVD offering to the masses is a
solid release for the Velvet Underground-Reed devotee
(ye of the early bootleg B-sides). Casual fans might also
might enjoy a run through, or at least a fast-forward to, the
Underground-Transformer stuff.
BRIAN OFFENTHER
Oral proves just as
sinful as intercourse
Our American democracy values the individual
and the individual voice. However, differentiat-
ing intercourse and oral sex remains a topic that
divides our nation.
When it comes to oral versus intercourse, everyone has
his or her own opinion and standard to answer the who,
what, where, when and why.
So, in the interest of hearing the voice of the people, I
began polling my friends' opinions. When asked if oral sex
constitutes cheating, all responded with a yes, adding that
oral was equally unforgivable as intercourse.
Answering the question asked by the Clinton adminis-
tration, "Is oral-sex sex?" the nation, or at least my random
sampling, says yes.
However, intimacy is where the issue begins to stir
conflict. Half of my constituency votes oral sex as more
intimate than
intercourse. I call
Mr. Lube them Pro-head,
Risqu6 Business while the others
theavenue@aligator.org are Pro-tail.
The Pro-heads
consider oral more
intimate because
of the mechanics, the sensations and the vulnerability in-
volved. Pro-heads have refined taste and are picky about
what they put in their mouths.
On the other side, the Pro-tails typically evaluate inti-
macy on an emotional level. They all reference intercourse
as aiding a stronger personal connection with their partner,
which makes it more intimate. One Pro-tail, in defense of
his choice, went so far as to say, "oral sex is like a hand-
shake."
I personally stand on the Pro-tail side for very pragmat-
ic reasons. For gay men, intercourse has a much higher risk
factor for diseases, so I do it less and am more discriminat-
ing in my choice of partners.
Taking my own opinion into consideration, I began to
see the many facets of the great Oral v. Intercourse debate.
Frequency also plays a part, as many straight guys go
Pro-head due to the number of women who don't like to
perform oral sex. For them, it's a special treat.
Another caucus to consider is the Pro-tail women who
give and receive oral sex exclusively so they can maintain
their virginity.
Finally, a friend who enjoys being dominated by her
boyfriend presented an additional opinion. She considered
intercourse less meaningful because of the mutual pleasure
involved. As oral sex requires one person to serve the other,
she enjoys it more mand considers it a greater sacrifice.
So as with all conflicts, American pluralism prevents a
singular opinion. Thankfully, finding people interested in
sharing their opinions isn't hard.

Finch morphs genres
events
Finch
Say Hello to Sunshine
MCA Tracs
Release date: June 7
Finch's new album, "Say Hello to
Sunshine," exaggerates what "What it
is to Burn" only hinted
at this screamo band
has only begun to make
music.
What is so great
about this album is that
not every song sounds
the same.
Its sound is reaching into other
genres of music for a concoction that is
purely Finch.
For instance, the album has more of
a heavy-metal guitar sound, and singer
Nate Barcalow uses his voice differently
to complement that.
This CD gives me the feeling that
Finch channeled Incubus, pre- "Make
Yourself," as a major influence. Or
maybe it was Glassjaw. Yes, definitely
Glassjaw.
th
Perhaps as foreshadowed, Glassjaw
singer Daryl Palumbo was featured on
the "What it is to Burn" CD.
With the time changes and breaks
in the songs, "Say Hello to Sunshine"
definitely fulfills the need for a break
from the mainstream pop-punk that is
prevalent in music stores today.
But be .warned -
don't buy the CD with
Amanda hopes that it is their
Seyfang previous album recre-
Playlist ated. This CD is not
eavenue@alligator.org "What it is to Burn."
Let me repeat that
this CD is not "What
it is to Burn."
This CD is heavier and less emo than
their sophomore release.
Since I cannot support illegal down-
loading, my suggestion is to go out
and buy Finch's new CD, "Say Hello to
Sunshine."
If you decide against buying it,
check out their song "Bitemarks and
Bloodstains."
I think you will be pleasantly sur-
prised.

Faux fashion trends unify a style-seeking world
Is fake couture a symbol of faux status?
In the old world of fashion, the likely
answer was yes. The dividing line between
the haves and have-nots was who could afford
designer apparel.
Well, in the new world of fashion the an-
*swer is not so clear, because almost everyone
is sporting some kind of high style. Of course
it's all original, right?
If that's what you think, it seems you have
been foiled, my friend.
The market for designer knockoffs is quite
lucrative society flocks to copycats, individ-
uals who harness their talent, creative thinking
and elbow grease to bring to the masses the
finest of haute-replicas.
And the paragon for imitation is the reign-
ing king, Louis Vuitton.
Take a look around if you haven't noticed.
You'll eventually see people of all genders,
sizes and ethnicity adorned with the illustri-
ous "LV" monogram and flower logo.
Louis Vuitton is so popular that it's practi-
cally a household name.
My original intent was to blast those that
conform to this craze because I thought the
motif overplayed, thus
resulting in a society of -
clones. But one day after *
yoga class, I had an epiph-
any. I began to hear in my
head Madonna singing,
"Music makes the people
come together."
Well, my friends, it
seems fashion, too, makes the people come
together.
And for that we must all hail Louis!
Designer couture used to be the signature
of the privileged class but thanks to faux
fashion, it's available to everyone. The Louis
Vuitton emblem adorns everyone from the
CEO, to the cashier, to the garbage man. No
matter who is carrying or wearing it, the social
hierarchy appears to diminish. Fashion is for
all.
Not everyone can afford a $1,000 bag or
a $300 wallet, so people
like me do what we can
Christine and purchase the next best
Steffens thing. Yes, I admit it, I own
Fashion a Go-Go two faux handbags from
theavenue@alligator.org the pseudo-house of Louis
Vuitton, and I am no less
tasteful because of it.
We should all feel like
kings and queens, deserving of the finer things
in life, and there should be no reason why we
can't. So your Fashion-a-Go-Go says no, fake
couture is not a symbol of faux status.
There are also cases where people tend to
take faux a little too far.
Recently I was in St. Augustine and saw
a guy driving a sport utility vehicle com-
pletely stenciled with the Louis Vuitton logo. I
stopped and stared, for I was mesmerized.
Not only was it beyond tacky, but I won-
dered why his friends didn't tell him that it
was a bad idea.
But I salute you, Mr. SUV man, for taking
your creative liberty. Though you revealed
that you're style-challenged and your friends
deserted you in a time of need, you probably
feel pretty cool driving around. Kudos to you!
Don't get me wrong, I would love to own
real designer couture. High style doesn't nec-
essarily have to be a status symbol, but can
represent hard work.
So many facets of life are committed to
maintaining a social hierarchy, we shouldn't
let fashion do that, too.
Remember in order to have class, one
doesn't need to come from 'the privileged
class.
Re-made summer movies makes for boring season
Moviegoers beware.
This summer is defi-
nitely going to be a record-
breaking movie season a record-
breaking season of unoriginality.
We hear great things about block-
buster movies intended to give us
"edge of your seat thrills," but'-I'm
not feeling it this season.'
Most of the movies in the sum-
mer buffet of cinema have already
been done, are based on a television
show or book or are based on true
stories.
On top of that, it seems that
movie studios are making sure they
can appeal to a wider audience by
keeping movies within the PG-13
range.
Where are the original scripts
and bigrisks for the screen?
The downfall of originality
starts just after "The Longest Yard"
- which was already done success-
fully in the '70s with "Sisterhood
of the Traveling Pants," "Lords of
Dogtown" and "Cinderella Man."
Two are based on actual events,
one is based on a successful teenage
book and they are all rated PG -13
or lower. These movies are safe and
will most likely bring in average to
high audiences.
"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" then rolls
along in true adulterous fashion
and pretty much gives us what
1994's "True Lies" couldn't two
ridiculously hot stars who actually
have believable chemistry. Plus, it's
The second
wave of washed-
up ideas will
soon hit audi-
ences head on.
We have "Batman
Begins," "Herbie: Fully Loaded,"
"Bewitched" and "War of the
Worlds."
All right, even though "Batman"
and "Worlds" have the potential to
be awesome, everything has already
been done. This is the fifth "Batman"
movie, a Love Bug that we've seen
since the '60s, a series that probably
still has 2 a.m. marathons on the TV
Melissa
Filipkowski
The Reel Life :
theavenue@alligator.org
Land channel
and an already
epic novel. While
the rating of
"Worlds" is still
being debated,
the others are PG-
13. I1 don't think it's a coincidence.
We'll round out the season with
an array of "already-been-theres."
"Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory," "The Honeymooners,"
"The Pink Panther," "The Dukes of
Hazzard" and by far the worst deci-
sion ever made by Sony Pictures -
"Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo."
Two of these have been TV shows,
two have already been movies and
one is the sequel of a mistaken first
movie enough said. All will most
likely be rated PG-13 or under, too.
The trend seems to be that when
things get rough at the box office, the
studios ride on the safety of things
that have already been successful.
While we'll still get some good
movies, most of these will only be
the middle DVD in a box set. How
unoriginal.

No/es win season series; Gators 'comfortable', prepared for Noles, Omaha
BASEBALL, from page 23
Corsaletti, usually one to make bold predic-
tions, showed an unusually calm and seri-
ous demeanor when talking about his final
series in a Gator uniform
"We are fired up about this weekend,"
Corsaletti said. "We've got a lot of guys that
believe we can win."
Corsaletti expects McKethan Stadium to
reach a new attendance record because of
the intense in-state rivalry.
"If we win this weekend, it will be pan-
demonium," Corsaletti said. "They aren't
going to be easy games, they will be close. I
promise you that."
Corsaletti was chosen in the 2004 MLB
draft, but opted to remain at UF for a final
season.
"I look like a genius for coming back for
my senior year," Corsaletti said. "I feel like
a genius too, I got drafted 16 rounds higher
and earned a ring for winning the conference
championship. Now we're two wins from
Omaha."
Seminoles win series
Tenth-ranked FSU defeated the Gators
(43-20) twice in three games this season.
Each game was played on a weekday, not
part of a three-game weekend series. UF
did not use any of its top starting pitchers,
a move that could yield high dividends this
weekend.
"They haven't seen our best," Corsaletti
said. "We're extremely comfortable. We
have a whole arsenal. We put ourselves in
position to win, you just have to go out and
play hard. You can't ask for anything else,
you just have to go out and execute. As a
team, we're as close as we've ever been. It's
going to be exciting."
Team unity prevails
Falkenbach explained that the 2005 base-
ball team is as tightly knit as any he's ever
played on.
"We're.all equals, nobody thinks he's a big
shot out there," Falkenbach said. "We're all
about the team, we're not about individual
stuff. I think that's made us come so much
closer as a team and help build chemistry.
We're all here to do the same thing: get to
Omaha."
Falkenbach has been the anchor of the
pitching staff all season, recording eight
saves and pitching in a team-high 46 games.
"We have a lot of depth," Falkenbach
said. We can throw anybody out there at any
time and be successful. J think that's what
has gotten us so far."
Corsaletti said that for the four seniors on
the team and UF coach Pat McMahon all
of whom began at UF in 2002 the weekend
Super Regional is a special opportunity to
fulfill goals.
"I wouldn't be satisfied if we don't go to
Omaha. That's been my dream since I came
to college," Corsaletti said. "I came to college
because I wanted to go to Omaha. If we don't
go there, it's going to be disappointing."
A pair of standout sophomores could
provide their team with an offensive spark.
FSU (53-18) is led by sophomore center
fielder Shane Robinson, who was chosen as
Collegiate Baseball's National Player of the
Year. Robinson had a 40-game hitting streak
earlier in the season.
CONTROL, from page 23
Take, for instance, the addition of FieldTurf,
a state-of-the-art realistic grass substitute, that
will be added to the main practice field.
With FieldTurf, the field will drain quicker
after those mid-afternoon Florida storms.
But if you're attending two-a-day practices
in August, don't expect to stare in awe at the
super grass. Meyer has moved two-a-days
to the University Village South Field, so the
practice field will remain fresh for the season.
Say it with me again efficiency.
Efficiency and sports success have always
gone hand-in-hand. Just ask the 'Detroit
Pistons, New England Patriots, or even the
1966 Gators.
In '66, UF kidney specialist Robert Cade
helped the football team solve its hydration
'-problem by inventing a new miracle drink,
known today as Gatorade.
The Gators finished 9-2 that season and
won the Orange Bowl.
It's not always the X's and O's that lead
to wins. Since Meyer can't preach strategy
for a couple of months, making UF football
efficient is the logical approach.
So while Meyer continues to re-evaluate
the program from all angles, he can only play
the waiting game and hope his players live up
to their end of the bargain.
UF players drafted by rivals teams; Gators focus on series

UF efficient
with Meyer
Urban Meyer is on a mission.
Whether it's autographing
marriage certificates and surf-
boards at a booster rally, or traveling
the Eastern seaboard at a frantic pace in
search of tomorrow's stars, the first- year
UF coach will stop at nothing to make
sure the football program returns to
prominence.
Just don't ask Meyer to jump out of a
trunk for a car commercial or sign your
underwear.
-"I refused to do that," Meyer said. "I
stand for something."
Still two months away from hitting
the practice field, the Gators are busy
lifting weights and getting in football
shape.
Urban Tour
rolls on. In May
alone, Meyer
visited 99 high
schools in 10
states while
Andrew speaking at 10
Abramson booster clubs.
Drew's Control It's all Meyer
aabramson@alligator.org can really, do
this time of year,
because of those
pesky NCAA regulations that force
football coaches to stay away from team
workouts.
So, the Gators' mega makeover is in
the hands of trainers and strengthening
coaches.
Meyer said his trainers at Utah did an
outstanding job last year and it showed
Utah didn't lose a single game. But
will it work on the Gators, who weren't
exactly the most disciplined team under
Ron Zook?
Regardless, Meyer has to sit back and
do the little things, making sure every-
thing will be just right come September.
It's called efficiency, and it should be
the word that defines the earliest stages
of the Meyer Era in Gainesville.
Let's face it the UF football program
hasn't exactly been efficient in the first
half of the '00s.
We've seen fraternity brawls,
fourth-quarter collapses, walk-ons with
Einstein-sized IQs playing linebacker on
the road, but not much efficiency.
Meyer continues to bring a different
approach to Gators football and every
little detail counts.

Four UF players taken in MLB Draft
By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org
Now that 1,502 picks were made during
50 rounds, the UF baseball team can once
again set its primary focus on the playing
field.
Senior outfielder Jeff Corsaletti, junior
right-handed pitcher Alan Home, senior
right-handed pitcher Connor Falkenbach,
junior shortstop Justin Tordi and four sign-
ees were-selected Tuesday and Wednesday
in the Major League Baseball draft.
"It was exciting," Corsaletti said. "I was
pretty calm leading up to the draft because
I've been through it before. I had heard I'd
go anywhere from the fourth to seventh
round."
IlA limited number of general admis-
sion tickets to the Super Regional base-
ball series between UF and Florida State
will go on sale at 8:30 a.m. at the Gator
ticket office.
Corsaletti was chosen by the defending
World Series champion Boston Red Sox, his
favorite team, in the sixth round with the
198th overall pick.
"When they were
done with the fourth,
then the seventh, I was
frustrated," Corsaletti
said. "I knew it was
between- Philadelphia,
Boston or Oakland.
When they finally called
Corsaletti my name, it was such
a relief. Now I can just
focus on this weekend."
Corsaletti leads the Gators in batting
average (.378), on-base percentage (.475),
walks (47) and doubles (15). Corsaletti was
taken in the 22nd round by the Cleveland
a June 5, 1998: UF sprinter John Capel
becomes a national champion in the 200-
meter dash. Capel finished with a time of
19.87, and was named 1999s Outstanding
Male Athlete of the NCAA Championships.
Indians last June, but elected to remain in
school.
"I'm surprised Alan went as late as he
did," Corsaletti said. "The guy hit 97 [mph]
in his last three starts. The whole thing's
a crapshoot. I bet he throws a [complete
game] this weekend."
Home was taken by the New York
Yankees in the 11th round with the 349th
selection.
"I value myself as one of the best in the
country, there's no doubt about that, in the
college ranks," Home said. "I feel like I got
guys out in the best college conference in
the nation all year."

You Decide. 90 Q STUDENT LIFE Wage raise impacts UF By CRISTYLE WOOD Alligator Writer cwood@alligator.org Many UF department heads charged with managing their budgets have been scrambling since an initiative to increase Florida's minimum wage went into effect last month, allotting more than 4,500 student employees as much as a dollar more per hour. "Every department manages their own budget, so they will work out any changes," UF Vice President for Finance and Administration Ed Poppell said. Only employees hired through Other Personnel Services are affected, since the minimum wage for full-time UF employees is $8.50 per hour, which is more than $2 above the new state standard, Poppell said. The Other Personnel Services program, which is funded by the state and provides on-campus jobs for students enrolled at least part-time at UF, increased its wages from $5.15 to $6.15 after the constitutional amendment to create a Florida minimum wage passed on the November ballot. The measure received more than 70-percent voter support. While some may think local businesses and UF have been affected negatively by the minimum-wage increase, the general consensus among student workers is positive. "It's nice to have more money," said Molly McKinney, a building supervisor at Southwest Recreation Center, whose hourly wage was $5.35 before the increase. McKinney is among almost Student worker Kim Mitchell observes colleague Sherri Weissman as she fills out a timecard Monday at the Southwest Recreation Center. 700 recreational sports employees and David Bowles, the program's director, said he hopes Student Government increases funding to offset the higher payroll. "[The wage increase] is going to have a dramatic impact," Bowles said. "We're currently trying to calculate a figure." Bowles said he hopes they are not forced to reduce services.

By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabranson@aiigator.org After finishing in a tie for 85th at the NCAA championships -one of the worst performances in his otherwise illustrious college career -Matt Every responded the only way he knows how. The UF junior surprisingly qualified for the U.S. Open, earning a spot on a fifth playoff hole after a two-round total of a -7-under 135 in the sectional qualifiers at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Md. "I can talk myself out of slumps," Every said of his performance in the NCAA championship. "I just told myself it was a fluke and I came out firing in the qualifier." It wasn't easy. Without the luxury of a course-leader board, Every thought he had it won when he birdied the 18th hole. He soon learned he would be in a playoff for five spots with eight others, including six PGA Tour veterans. I can talk myself out of SlUmpS."

A bill passed in the Student Senate two weeks ago allocating $340,000 of student money to help fund the Florida Blue Key-run Gator Growl is allegedly being questioned by Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin, who oversees SG decisions. "A responsible review has been already Uf underway, as ITam looking at this issue very Administration carefufy," Telles-Irvin wrote in an e-mail. "Please rest assured that due diligence is being followed and that we are working very hard to make sure that the best interests of the student body are kept at the forefront. [UF] will not take any course of action that is illegal in this issue." Telles-Irvin declined comment to the Alligator on Wednesday. Student Body President Joe Goldberg said he signed the bill and it now sits in Teles-Irvin's office, adding she questioned the bill's logistics and how SG reserves work.

THURSDAY, JUNE 9,2005 E ALLIGATOR, 3 Alumnus honors roots By MELISSA FILIPKOWSKI Alligator Contributing Writer It seems teaching the principles of assets and liabilities has turned out to be a huge asset to UF -a $1.4 million asset, to be exact. UF accounting alumnus Bernard H. Berkman has pledged to donate $1.4 million to UF's Fisher School of Accounting to establish the Bernard H. Berkman Accounting Enrichment Fund. Income generated from the fund will support teaching, research and programs within the school. "Any success I have attained in my professional career I attribute to the education I received at the University of Florida," Berkman said in a press release. "Supporting UF's accounting program is just one way I felt I could express tny appreciation and help provide for students following the same path I followed in my career." Berkman, a 1960 graduate of the Warrington College of Business, had more than 35 years in the accounting field with companies such as Deloitte & Touche and Collective Bancorp before retiring in 1999. Berkman's orange-and-blue roots have been strong throughout his career. He is a charter member of the UP Alumni Association and co-founded the Nassau County Gator Club in 2004, which is now 174 members strong. Administrators in the accounting school said they are pleased with the donation and are planning to use the money to make improvements to UF's already prestigious accounting program. "Mr. Berkman's gift will provide crtical resources for the school as it strives for programmatic excellence," said Joel S. Demski, associate dean of the Warrington College of Oni Business and director of the Campus Fisher School, in a press release. "Affirmations, such as Mr. Berkman's, are what sustain the school, the college and the university in its commitment to academic leadership and its role as the state's flagship university." UF accounting junior Mike Fera agrees with Demski and believes the gift will further aid UF's accounting program. "The accounting school has made smart decisions with previous monetary donations in the past," Fera said, referring to the newly constructed accounting building, Gerson Hall. "I believe the money will only help UF students excel in the accounting classrooms, as well as help UF students make a positive mark in the accounting workplace." UF earns literacy grant .By DAN ONEY Alligator Contributing Writer UF's Lastinger Center for Learning is among 21 Florida organizations slated to share a $700,000 grant for literacy programs statewide. Gov. Jeb Bush announced this week in a press conference that the Lastinger Center will play a central role in his Family Literacy Initiative. "[Increasing literacy] is the key to opening the doors of opportunity and success in life," Bush said. Created in 2001, the Lastinger Center, which is part of the College of Education, is a school-improvement partner working with 14 high-poverty elementary schools across Florida. UF professors will use the grant to "embed" themselves at "practice sites" in Apopka and Immokalee and determine which. teaching methods are most effective. Since the governor began his Family Literacy Initiative in 1999, more than 9,000 adults and children have graduated from its 115 centers throughout the state, according to a report released this week. A key part of Bush's literacy initiative is the traditional focus of the center on involving the family in the child's learning experience, said Don 15 Pemberton, direcBush tor of the Lastinger Center. "We want to make literacy a family value in their communities," he said. -According to Program Director Alyson Adams, UF was awarded the grant because of the collaboration it breeds among teachers and learning. "Once we figure out what those two sites are doing to make them so successful, then we will convert it into a curriculum," Adams said. THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY. So.

4, ALLIGATOR 0 THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2005 UF-built robot car to race By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org A car built by UF students will race some of the toughest and most expensive vehicles in the country -with no one sitting behind the wheel. The robotic vehicle known as NaviGATOR was one of 40 semifinalists picked Monday to go to California in September to compete against other robotic vehicles with hopes of earning a spot in the finals and a chance to compete for a $2 million purse in the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Project Agency Grand Challenge 2005. The race, hosted by the Pentagon to promote research in autonomous vehicle technology, tests applications that can be used by the military, like surveying a battlefield. "We're happy and we're thrilled to be in," said Dave Armstrong, project manager for the team from the UF Center for Intelligent Machines and Robotics that built the car. "At the same time, we realize we're going to spend the next four months killing ourselves," he added. About 13 of the 15 members of the racing team are students, Armstrong said. The 40 semifinalists will battle for 20 spots in an October race, where robotic vehicles travel 150 miles across desert roads without any human intervention and using only onboard computers. "Once the race starts, [the robotic vehicle is] completely on its own," Armstrong said. "We could go to lunch and watch it on TV." What drives the NaviGATOR is a combination of 13 high-speed computers, eight sensor systems, at least one of three $50,000 global positioning systems and a device that fuses all the information to-tell the car where and where not to go. It also has a 150-horsepower Honda engine that enables it to reach speeds as high as 50 mph. Despite the top-notch equipment, which totals about $250,000 plus labor, Armstrong said the car, working at full capacity, would still only have the brainpower of a mouse. "It can't drive anything close to a human," he said. "Getting a machine to think and recognize obstacles is going to be a very difficult task." "Once the race starts, [the robotic vehicle is] completely on its own." Dave Armstrong Team CIMAR project manager Team member Danny Kent, a mechanical engineering graduate student, said he and the other team members have worked seven days a week in preparation for the event. "Some people I don't think quite grasp just how hard it is," he said. "Trying to take luck out of the equation is really hard." Once the race starts, the NaviGATOR's positioning system will be able to tell it, exactly where it is within 10 cm, compared to a distance of 3 meters for most consumer positioning systems. "Our [positioning system] is better than what you would typically use," Armstrong said, adding that the added accuracy could mean the difference between staying on the road and falling off a rocky cliff. 7~ ,~e. 0. 0 U) H' *0 0) a-z 0II c,)0 n Ladies Night Free Drinks for Ladies 0 o $FRIDAYS $4 Bud Light Pitchers $4 Jager Bombs Lunch Specials ATU RDAY EVERYDAY! $4 Miller-Lite Pitchers $4 Long Islands F Stay inGamesvdlle and earn' Concentrations in: this marketable degree!Biostatliss -Two -year graduate programEpidemicflogy -'Combined bceo' to'., Health Mvanagement & Policy master's program Environmental ialth Pub/ic health c itipeaeon~erwoking s social & Behavioral Sciences profssionals andosiofrLJ/lae ae also available.

THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 Officials hope wage increase will not alter services provided to students WAGES, from page 1 available," he said. Minor adjustments based on participation levelshave been made to recreational programs to finish out the fiscal year, which ends June 30, he said. "I don't want this to have an impact on the services we provide for students," he said. But Stefanie Simon, recreational program assisStudent tant, said services already have been impacted. Life Student Recreational Facilities hired a full staff at the beginning of the Summer but must now reduce shifts in an attempt to retain employees, according to Simon, a third-year exercise and sports science major. Meanwhile, McKinney said that while she enjoys her raise, she has noticed that the number of student workers at Southwest Recreation Center has been reduced. "I know they've cut a lot of shifts because the Student Rec Center used to have two building supervisors and a floor manager each shift and now only has one of each," she said.

Finally on the fifth, Every watched Paul Goydos miss a 15-footer. With all eyes on Every, he sunk a 10-footer and clinched the final spot, "At first I was just glad I made the putt," Every said. "I kind of sat there and looked at my caddy. He had his hand out like he wanted to give me five. I said '[forget] that' and gave him a hug because I was so happy." Before the NCAA championships, Every was confident he could qualify for the tournament, although some of his UF teammates weren't as sure. Now the -amateur will have a chance to prove he is not just one of the best golfers in college, but that he can perform with the pros. "It's cool to be in it, it's, surreal, but after that playoff I know I can compete out there. I probably will," Every said. "I might go there and play awful. I doubt it, but I might. But I can go there, play awesome and make the cut and have a respectable week." Despite earning a spot in the Open on the fifth playoff hole, Every still thinks he could have performed better. "To tell you the truth, that was the worst I could have shot in the qualifier. I played awful," he said. "But I made a 15-foot putt in my last hole. It was very intense. :. I'm glad it's ov mer."

"The reason that I was satisfied with the bill is because we were giving students the opportunity to attend Gator Growl for free." Senate President Pro Tempore John Boyles said that about 45 minutes before the bill's second reading May 24, members of the executive cabinet and Senate received word that TellesIrvin would veto SG's proposal to bring free Growl tickets to 24,000 students. "The message came .that if we passed the bill, she wasn't going to sign it," he said. "If there Growl may disappoint without SG funds; others question legality is a decision to veto the bill, this would be the first time possibly ever that this has been done." But he said leaders did not want to tell student senators about the bill because TellesIrvin's message did not come first-hand. "I think that the reason behind not making a big deal about it is because none of us directly talked to [Telles-Irvin]," he said. "It was a pretty intense message. We wouldn't want to paint a picture of Tetles-Irvin her in abad light." Goldberg said he supports keeping the bill on the agenda.

6, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, JUNE 9,2005 Editorial One could say the smooth operators at the Department of Darts & Laurels are spending too much time together, which is why we now all have head colds. Our illness might be the logical result of too many late nights spent outside along University Avenue in the rain. But we think it has more to do with the twists our necks have taken in the last week from repetitive double-take action. It's almost as if the controversy gods have heeded our call and added some spice back into the normally doldrumatic Summer A. Not that we can taste anything. But since we wrote this while attempting to stamp out a pervasive throb in our skulls, our choice of gifts this week was a little unorthodox. We're feeling a little better, thank you, but it won't keep us from diving into the wackiness with this week's edition of. Darts &Laurels For our first award, we go directly to the ivory (well, redbrick) towers of Tigert Hall and deliver a thank-you-for-ending-the-madness LAUREL to UF President Bernie Machen, who named a new provost last week after more than a year of uncertainty. Machen sent the search committee back to the drawing board after he didn't see enough promise in their initial recommendations. We applaud his courage in waiting until he could be comfortable with his choice. In that spirit, we adorn a do-you-really-know-whatyou're-getting-into LAUREL onto the pressured shoulders of new Provost Janie Fouke. Fouke undoubtedly will be in a constant state of transition for the next two months, as she must move from Michigan to Gainesville and have her agenda ready to go by Aug. 15. Good luck, Dr. Fouke. We hope this LAUREL is the first of many. Turning now to the Reitz Union, we dish out a we-canbe-on-the-same-side-sometimes LAUREL to Student Body President Joe Goldberg, for standing his ground in the face of administrative pressure. That's right, a LAUREL for Joe Goldberg. Allegedly, Goldberg heard from UF officials that if he signed a bill paying $340,000 to Florida Blue Key for Gator Growl, it would be vetoed. He signed it anyway., We don't agree with the content of the bill, and this is not any change of heart on our part. But if administrators are going to monkey with student money -which is by Florida law under student control -they should be out in the open about it. We're too sick to leave campus, so we muster all our strength to throw a what-part-of-public-records-don't-youunderstand DART at Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski and his staff. A too-liberal usage of a black marker by the Dean's Office left an entire e-mail blacked out of a public-records request. There's no way every word and symbol could have been exempt from the public-records laws. We can't prove the offending e-mail was sent between a UF official and former Student Body Vice President Jennifer Puckett, and we can't prove the discussion involved the dismissal of a StudentGovernment cabinet director and bypassing the application process to put a new director in place. The appearance of impropriety leaves us shaking our heads. It was a move both ballsy and illegal. But mainly, illegal. And it shows how close student leaders get to climbing into bed with UF officials. But we'll end the pajama party with the all-around best cure for our ills: a few rounds of 3-for-1 Jager Bombs at 2:01 a.m. That should do the trick. alligator Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR The Aiaato r encoU rages commincents from eades.

It used to be the federal government was the place to find politicos sitting on their butts, ignoring the public and otherwise doing anything they can to delay the inevitable. Not anymore. Why does SG need the entire summer to come up with a "recommendation" regarding online voting? Online voting isn't a decision. The decision has been made. In order to get online voting on the ballot, a certain number of signatures was required. That number was surpassed. End of story. Of course, there was sone fumbling on the part of the .petition's authors that allowed the defenders of the status quo to defeat it on a loophole. There's no excuse now. The investigation this summer isn't going to find anything new. The same concerns have existed since the inception of the program, and they've all been repeated so many times that students might actually think they're still problems. Opponents are afraid of security concerns. That's been addressed -see the 30 billion articles, editorials and columns printed in the Alligator over the past few years. Accelerated Data Works has been more than happy to suggest more and more ways to beef up protections on the students' information and to keep voting legit. Opponents are afraid it will cost too much money. OK, I made that one up. But this is UF, the land of Bright Futures and thousands of students trying to figure out how to make the most money with the least work. So, everyone here should. be able to appreciate the bottom line: Online voting would save us a crapload of money. The Spring election cost an estimated $39,827.65 -and counting. Online voting is supposed to cost around $2,000 per-election Paper elections mean a lot of Malt Sanchez work for students. Pure Foppery Online voting doesn't. Pu rcez Fop pry I'm a journalist, so I'm not really msanohez@aligstsr.org a numbers-y type of guy. But I think those figures speak for themselves. Finally, opponents are afraid Greek organizations and other student groups will exploit the system-to make their members vote the way they want. The truth is, they already do. They will continue to do so, no matter what changes in the voting process. If the members of these organizations can't or won't stand up for themselves, then they're going to continue doing what their superiors want. In fact, these organizations don't want online voting any more than the old guard in SG do. They want to do what is best for themselves, which is to keep voting as exclusive as possible. They know there's only one way to get average students to vote, and that's to make it so they can vote with a beer in one hand, naked, during a commercial break, at 4 o'clock in the morning. That's why they want online voting out -and that's why, so far, online voting has been kept out. And students.aren't active enough in SG right now to stop them. My prediction, as much as it pains me, is online voting will not be implemented as long as Joe Goldberg and his Gator Party buddies are in office. I hope I'm proven wrong, but I doubt it.

Letters to the Editor Story on collision contains bad reporting Editor: I'd like to reference your newspaper dated June 2 and the front-page article "Crash on Southwest 34th Street." My daughter, Sandy D'Elosua, was in that car accident, and your newspaper sensationalized the story so that she appeared at fault. If your reporters had thoroughly investigated the situation, the)' would have known that the driver of the other car, a young 21year-old man, was cited by the police officer and that Sandy was not at fault. She was the victim, however, who received major injuries that required surgery and will require extensive rehabilitation. Your article was very harmful to her personal reputation and her mental state during this traumatic time. It is simply an example of sensationalism at its worst. I would like to see a follow-up article that gives the truth to the accident and doesn't paint my daughter in a negative light. The young man who is responsible for the accident has done enough damage.

Did we forget the reason why Later Gator was established? Just because there are fewer people going downtown during Summer A, it doesn't make drunk driving any less dangerous. This is not a financial issue; this is a security issue. I could understand a cutback, maybe going from three buses to one bus -that makes sense, but to completely get rid of it is just a bad decision. Imagine what the consequences would be for this choice if, God forbid, a student did get into an accident coming from downtown. All because you want to save a couple hundred bucks. The reality is, it's just not worth it. I really hope that this is not an irreversible decision and that it can be remedied before it costs too much. My life is not worth the money you're saving, and I'm sure everyone else feels the same way" I only hope they realize the magnitude of this decision. This is just another cutback from SG that we will never see again. I am an advocate of SG, they do some really great things, but when was the last time one of these cutbacks showed up somewhere else? It seems the money just vanishes. Why didn't Joe tell us where the money's going? I'm sure we can figure this out. Geoffrey Silvera 3LS EZ Tennis Tell your friends about EZ Tennis.

8, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, JUNE 9,2005 UF RESEARCH Scientists get grant for Parkinson's By MELISSA GARCIA Alligator Contributing Writer Judy Whitmore was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 54. Six years later, she can still make par on the golf course. Whitmore is one of hundreds with Parkinson's disease who have benefited from participating in therapy and clinical research at UF's Movement Disorders Center and the McKnight Brain Institute. Dawn Bowers, director of the institute's Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, will begin a new study on Parkinson's disease in July after receiving a $1.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health's' National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Parkinson's disease is a disorder caused by the degeneration of neurons in parts of the brain integral to making dopamine, a neurotransmitter More than 1.5 million Americans have Parkinson's disease and experience a variety of symptoms, including tremors, slowed movement, poor balance and slow speech, according to the National Parkinson Foundation.Web site. Bowers' research grant will fund a four-year study on a common side effect of Parkinson's disease that hinders the ability to produce facial expressions. While most researchers have to apply for grants two or three times before being funded, her application for the grant was accepted in'July 2004 on its first submission, she said. "It was the right study at the right review session with the right reviewers who liked it," she said. "It could have just as easily gone the other way. A lot of it is serendipity." Bowers' research team includes Michael Okun and Hubert Fernandez, both associate professors of neurology, and Christine Sapienza, professor and associate chair of the department of communication sciences and disorders. Testing a group of 100 people with the disease, the team will use video clips to elicit expressions and record them. It used to be that people thought heroes rode on white horses. But for those of us with Parkinson's disease, they may be people with a white coat." Judy Whitmore Parkinson's support group leader Some of the video clips include bugeating scenes from "Fear Factor," the "brain-eating" scene from "Hannibal" and scenes from "America's Funniest Home Videos," Bowers said. By subtracting each 30-millisecond video frame, the researchers can measure exactly how much movement occurred on the face, she said. In a previous study used to develop this measurement method, a woman with Parkinson's disease asked to see what she looked like on her videotape. "We showed her the videotape, and she 'burst into tears," Bowers said. "She said she had no idea that she looked so flat. She remembered herself as someone who was much more emotive." Lack of facial expression affects the way spouses, family members and even healthcare providers interact with people with Parkinson's disease, she said. Patients are sometimes misdiagnosed with depression or apathy due to the problem, she said. With her research, she hopes to develop a convenient and affordable treatment for those who are frustrated by the symptoms of the disease, she said. Participants will receive a breathing device that requires them to blow out with more force, working both facial and respiratory muscles, Bowers said. They will exercise with the device at home five times per day for four weeks and then return to the lab to have their facial expressions measured again, she said. Bowers expects the breathing therapy to make facial muscles more active and able to be more expressive, she said. "I suspect this is going to work," she said. "It's just like going to the gyn helps people tone up." To see if the benefits of breathing therapy are temporary, patients will be asked to stop using the breathing device for three months and then be tested for any loss of facial expression ability, she said. Test subjects will be studied both on and off dopamine medication and also participate in conversations and structured interviews to check for improvements in speech and vocalization. Judy Whitmore, leader of a Parkinson's support group, said she and her group have a strong interest in the research. "It used to be that people thought heroes rode on white horses," she said. "But for those of us with Parkinson's disease, they may be people with a white coat." With the help of doctors, medical research and exercise therapy, Whitmore said several members of her group who used to be confined to wheelchairs now are walking with canes.

Avenue THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/aven ue '_ o h Sa c .cenSushi spot moves to new location ragonfly Sushi & Sake Company i on a roll. j After almost five years of success and rapid growth in downtown Gainesville, Dragonfly, has started to knock down its walls and expand to accommodate loval patrons and sushi-seekers alike. Located at 201 5E Second Ave. Suite 103, Dragonfly vill occupy the space left behind by its former neighbor, Hooters, in Lan effort to promote better service and more business. "We are growing so fast that on the weekends we have customers waiting up to txwo hours for a large party," says Ronald Auyong, manager. "Sometimes we can't accommodate our customers the way' we would like." Currently, Dragonfly's size is about 2,700< square feet and can hold about 88 customers. Auyong says after the expansion, Dragonfly's floor space would increase to 4,500 square feet makinng room for about 150 customers. Unable to give an exact amount ol the cost, of the project, Auyong says "the expansion is ac_ cruing costs on a daily basis and costing a lot of money." In addition to an increase in seating capacity, Dragonfly will hire more staff so it can handle the expected increase in business. "We are lookBy DOUGLAS BONEPATH ing to double, our current staff of about 50 to 100 people," he Auyong estimated that the expansion would be cornplete sometime in August, right in time for the Fall semester. In addition to physical changes, customers will notice adjuistmients to the menu. Auyong said some menu items will be replaced for newones and stressed the expansion would not change current roenu prices. Drag'onfly is not' ust conten with expanding its original downtown location; future restaurant plans are currently in the making. "This expansion is a stepping stone for our creaive concepts," Auyong says. "Our flagship restaurant' serves as a vehicle to make our goals and dreams come true." He says to be on the look out for Cafax, soon to be located by the new Hooters on Archer Road and 34 Street. "It will be a create-your-owyn Dragonfiystyl menu," he says. "Since our business is about our customers we wanted to cater the food to their preferences "' He added that the new restaurant should be open about one nonth after the expansionn is complete. Auyong said Cafox is just one of mranyf things that Will help Dragonfly move forward with its image. We pride ourselves about being humbIa," Anyong says. "We hope everyone knows that we are here for our customers in every aspect of business." Kristin Nichols/Alligator staff create sushi behind the restaurant's sushi bar. Tragedy of Giving rocks toward video game fame Justin Stlafani and Jacob Addicott eat at Moe's Southwest Grill on Newberry Road every day. Literally. The dark-haired, soft-spoken guys from South Florida sit in a booth, eating their Moo Moo Mr. Cows (chicken, in case you were wondering), perfectly content. Their quiet, relaxed nature makes it difficult to believe they're in Tragedy of Giving, a melodic hard-rock band that's new to the Gainesville scene. But Sclafani and Addicott are no strangers to the stage -they've been playing together for eight years -with Sclafani on guitar and Addicott rocking the mic. The two moved from Miami in October to start a band in Gainesville because it was a convenient area to live. It's only a couple hours from most major cities in Florida, which makes it easier to tour. Addicott's brother attends school here, so they had a place to stay, and the town is accommodating to bands. "Miami isn't like. rock music," Addicott says. "The venues don't really cater to hard rock." By December, after having gone through several trial members, they added Cris Wise on drums and Tim McCallum on bass. They've played a number of shows since the band's inception, and they hope to embark on their first tour as Tragedy of Giving soon. The sound produced by the four has been aptly characterized as "intellectual rage." It's dark, June but melodic, and Capiello Addicott's voice Playlist is impeccable. theavenue@alligator.org "I listen to a lot softer music than the rest of the band. which is kinda why the lyrics aren't like, 'KILL, DIE,' says Addicott. The band also plays acoustic songs during their set, which should appeal to all audiences. Tragedy of Givinghasbeen doing exceptionally well for how young it is. Their song "Bumble Me" was getting radio play on local stations after only their second show, and another song, "Sink Slow," may soon appear in an EA Games football video game, as well as a compilation CD called "Warped Tour: Sounds of Smnmer," which will be released by Blood Loss Alliance. "But we don't know if it's a scam," Sclafani says with a laugh. The tracks were recorded at Sclafani and Addicott's house for free; Sclafani went to the School of Audio Engineering in Miami. "We do all of our Web site, flyers, and all recordings," Sclafani said. Thus far, the band is happy with the way they are settling. "We got a good start," Addicott said. "It's cool to hang out with people your own age and not these 40 year-old scuzzbuckets in their satin shirts [in Miami]." And if things keep progressing as they have these few short months, Addicott may eventually get his wish: "[Ten years from now] it'd be cool to be signed and making music. and we want to be sponsored by Moe's."

10, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, JUNE 9,2005 Serenity costs only two carrots T his week's cheap outing was exactly that -admission cost only two carrots. Yes, I meant carrots. Mill Creek Farm hosts a retirement home for horses. On Saturdays, owners Peter and Mary Gregory open the farm to the public. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., you can stroll the rolling fields, feeding the horses as you go. The farm takes in equines seized by the government, the SPCA and the Humane Society. Once at Mill Creek, the horses live out their days receiving food, veterinary care and plenty of pasture. They are never worked or ridden again. It had been awhile since I'd seen one of the beautiful and gentle creatures up close, so I packed a picnic lunch, grabbed a friend and headed north up 1-75 for a relaxing Saturday. For some reason I was expecting the place to be deserted. Instead, the owners, some volunteers and a few families greeted me. Once walking the corral-lined path, I enjoyed some time away from the thousands who surround me every day on campus. It was definitely nice to look around and see nothing but green fields and horses -lots and lots of hor-esWhile it only takes two carrots to get in, it's a good idea to bring along a whole bag. Mill Creek houses more than 100 horses that previously worked as circus performers, racers and subjects of medical testing. At times, the place made me feel melancholy. Some of the horses were abused in their past. Hearing their stories and sensing their demeanor added a sobering depth to my pleasant day in the country. However, the place has a sense of peace and tranquility. While angered by the horses' pasts, my feelings were tempered just knowing that Mill Creek serves to combat these injustices, or at least to spare some. If you care Jessica about animals, Weinstein you will be grateOn the Cheap ful to the Gregorys theavenue@alligator.org for -what they do. If you like horses, or simply need a reminder that UF is surrounded by farmland, Mill Creek is the place to go.

Lou Reed DVD captures his classics Spanish Fly: Live in Spain Starring Lout Reed Not Rated Release date: June 7, 2005 You put in the DVD and there he is in all his faded glory: Lou Reed. He survived to sing-speak songs of spikes-in-arms, whores and Edgar Allan Poe. Along with Iggly-and Bowie, he is the third in the unholy trinity of drugged-out-freakazoid-alien artists. He's miraculously around to enjoy his recent resurgence by some misstep of fate -or sacrifices of young virgins (I prefer the latter.) And what does Lou do? He smiles, for he is surely having the best time of his life. "Spanish Fly: Live in Spain" is a pseudo-greatest hits DVD featuring a live concert of Reed at the Benicassim Festival in 2004. The wonderfully arbitrary soccer chant stylings of "Ole Ole Ole" at the conclusion of the concert is the only reminder of the locale. Of course, he is not alone. Reed's four-piece band consists of a guitar, bass, drums and cello set-up. The multiracial, mixed-gender band is solid, except for the rock 'n' roll cello. In "Venus in Furs," Jane Scarpantoni steps into awesomeness, adapting the Velvet Underground-Reed style by playing a stabbing, grinding solo.

Amazingly (well, not considering the virgins thing), he has held up exceedingly well for a man of his rocking past. His voice (and dare I say his body) is in great shape, handling his existential narratives with ease. His lead guitar is solid, and he pieces together a couple of impressionistic guitar solos. Most interesting is the enthusiasm he puts into each song, acting out lyrics with waves of his arms as he smiles mischievously. Something, though, must be mentioned, for it is painfully missing from his performance: mystique. I had to sit there for a while before I picked up on it. As I watched this giddy old man playing his guitar in a rockin' band in black sweat pants (yes), it came to me. The bright lights and overhead camera shots allow the viewer to see tape markings on the floor, cameramen going in for closeups of Reed, and -gasp! -a monitor for Reed to, um, read the lyrics. Reed's songs reflect a dark narrator in an urban landscape of sin. Sweat pants and smiles do more than a little to hurt that effect. Still, Lou Reed's new DVD offering to the masses is a solid release for the Velvet Underground-Reed devotee (ye of the early bootleg li-sides). Casual fans might also might enjoy a run through, or at least a fast-forward to, the Underground-Transformer stuff. -BRIAN OFFENTHER 2 OUT a State of the art fitness center with airconditioned wood floor basketball court L Private theater with surround-sound a Pool with sundeck & resort style furniture a Car Care Center istinzcttee4 M/ii-en. f Tradition o/.weA e QTanues&at WoAamu C qzand 2625 SW 75th St. Gainesville, FL 32607 UF Phone (352) 331-2966 Fax (352) 331-2965 info((Vb e Ilamygrand. cfcoxmail. com A Rath/Harper and Associates Community Oral proves just as sinful as intercourse ur American democracy values the individual and the individual voice. However, differentiating intercourse and oral sex remains a topic that divides our nation. ihen it comes to oral versus intercourse, everyone has his or her own opinion and standard to answer the who, what, where, when and why. So, in the interest of hearing the voice of the people, I began polling my friends' opinions. When asked if oral sex constitutes cheating, all responded with a yes, adding that oral was equally unforgivable as intercourse. Answering the question asked by the Clinton administration, "Is oral-sex sex?" the nation, or at least my random sampling, says yes. However, intimacy is where the issue begins to stir conflict. Half of my constituency votes oral sex as more intimate than intercourse. I call Mr. Lube them Pro-head, while the others Risqu Busness are Pro-tail. theavenue@aI igator.org he Pro-heads The Pro-heads consider oral more intimate because of the mechanics, the sensations and the vulnerability involved. Pro-heads have refined taste and are picky about what they put in their mouths. On the other side, the Pro-tails typically evaluate intimacy on an emotional level. They all reference intercourse as aiding a stronger personal connection with their partner, which makes it more intimate. One Pro-tail, in defense of his choice, went so far as to say, "oral sex is like a handshake." I personally stand on the Pro-tail side for very pragmatic reasons. For gay men, intercourse has a much higher risk factor for diseases, so I do it less and am more discriminating in my choice of partners. Taking my own opinion into consideration, I began to see the many facets of the great Oral v. Intercourse debate. Frequency also plays a part, as many straight guys go Pro-head due to the number of women who don't like to perform oral sex. For them, it's a special treat. Another caucus to consider is the Pro-tail women who give and receive oral sex exclusively so they can maintain their virginity. Finally, a friend who enjoys being dominated by her boyfriend presented an additional opinion. She considered intercourse less meaningful because of the mutual pleasure involved. As oral sex requires one person to serve the other, she enjoys it more and considers it a greater sacrifice. So as with all conflicts, American pluralism prevents a singular opinion. Thankfully, finding people interested in sharing their opinions isn't hard.

THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 11 Finch morphs genres Finch Say Hello to Sunshine MCA Tracs Release date: June 7 Finch's new album, "Say Hello to Sunshine," exaggerates what "What it is to Burn" only hinted at -this screamo band has only begun to make music. What is so great about this album is that not every song sounds the same. Its sound is reaching into other genres of music for a concoction that is purely Finch. For instance, the album has more of a heavy-metal guitar sound, and singer Nate Barcalow uses his voice differently to complement that. This CD gives me the feeling that Finch channeled Incubus, pre"Make Yourself," as a major influence. Or maybe it was Glassjaw. Yes, definitely Glassjaw. Perhaps as foreshadowed, Glassjaw singer Daryl Palumbo was featured on the "What it is to Burn" CD. With the time changes and breaks in the songs, "Say Hello to Sunshine" definitely fulfills the need for a break from the mainstream pop-punk that is prevalent in music stores today. But be warned don't buy the CD with Amanda hopes that it is their Seyfang previous album recrePlaylist ated. This CD is not theavenue@alligator.org "What it is to Burn." Let me repeat that -this CD is not "What it is to Burn." This CD is heavier and less emo than their sophomore release. Since I cannot support illegal downloading, my suggestion is to go out and buy Finch's new CD, "Say Hello to Sunshine." If you decide against buying it, check out their song "Bitemarks and Bloodstains." I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

The dividing line between the haves and have-nots was who could afford designer apparel. Well, in the new world of fashion the answer is not so clear, because almost everyone is sporting some kind of high style. Of course it's all original, right? If that's what you think, it seems you have been foiled, my friend. The market for designer knockoffs is quite lucrative -society flocks to copycats, individuals who harness their talent, creative thinking and elbow grease to bring to the masses the finest of haute-replicas. And the paragon for imitation is the reigning king, Louis Vuitton. Take a look around if you haven't noticed. You'll eventually see people of all genders, sizes and ethnicity adorned with the illustrious "LV" monogram and flower logo. Louis Vuitton is so popular that it's practically a household name. My original intent was to blast those that conform to this craze because I thought the motif overplayed, thus resulting in a society of clones. But one day after yoga class, I had an epiphany. I began to hear in my head Madonna singing, "Music makes the people come together." Well, my friends, it seems fashion, too, makes the people come together. And for that we must all hail Louis! Designer couture used to be the signature of the privileged class but thanks to faux fashion, it's available to everyone. The Louis Vuitton emblem adorns everyone from the CEO, to the cashier, to the garbage man. No matter who is carrying or wearing it, the social hierarchy appears to diminish. Fashion is for all. Not everyone can afford a $1,000 bag or a $300 wallet, so people like me do what we can Christine and purchase the next best Steffens thing. Yes, I admit it, I own Fashion a Go-Go two faux handbags from theavenue@ailigator.org the pseudo-house of Louis Vuitton, and I am no less tasteful because of it. We should all feel like kings and queens, deserving of the finer things in life, and there should be no reason why we can't. So your Fashion-a-Go-Go says no, fake couture is not a symbol of faux status. There are also cases where people tend to take faux a little too far. Recently I was in St. Augustine and saw a guy driving a sport utility vehicle completely stenciled with the Louis Vuitton logo. I stopped and stared, for I was mesmerized. Not only was it beyond tacky, but I wondered why his friends didn't tell him that it was a bad idea. But I salute you, Mr. SUV man, for taking your creative liberty. Though you revealed that you're style-challenged and your friends deserted you in a time of need, you probably feel pretty cool driving around. Kudos to you! Don't get me wrong, I would love to own real designer couture. High style doesn't necessarily have to be a status symbol, but can represent hard work. So many facets of life are committed to maintaining a social hierarchy, we shouldn't let fashion do that, too. Remember -in order to have class, one doesn't need to come from the privileged class. Re-made summer movies makes for boring season Ma oviegoers beware. This summer is defi.nitely going to be a recordbreaking movie season -a recordbreaking season of unoriginality. We hear great things about blockbuster movies intended to give us "edge of your seat thrills," but I'm not feeling it this season. Most of the movies in the summer buffet of cinema have already been done, are based on a television show or book or are based on true stories. On top of that, it seems that movie studios are making sure they can appeal to a wider audience by keeping movies within the PG-13 range. Where are the original scripts and big risks for the screen? The downfall of originality starts just after "The Longest Yard" -which was already done successfully in the '70s -with "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," "Lords of Dogtown" and "Cinderella Man." Two are based on actual events, one is based on a successful teenage book and they are all rated PG -13 or lower. These movies are safe and will most likely bring in average to high audiences. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" then rolls along in true adulterous fashion and pretty much gives us what 1994's "True Lies" couldn't -two ridiculously hot stars who actually have believable chemistry. Plus, it's PG-13. The second wave of washedup ideas will soon hit audiences head on. We have "Batman Begins," "Herbie: Fully Loaded," "Bewitched" and "War of the Worlds." All right, even though "Batman" and "Worlds" have the potential to be awesome, everything has already been done. This is the fifth "Batman" movie, a Love Bug that we've seen since the '60s, a series that probably still has 2 a.m. marathons on the TV Land channel Melissa and an already Filipkowski epic novel. While The Reel Life the rating of theavenue@aligator.org "Worlds" is still being debated, the others are PG13. I don't think it's a coincidence. We'll round out the season with an array of "already-been-theres." "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "The Honeymooners," "The Pink Panther," "The Dukes of Hazzard" and by far the worst decision ever made by Sony Pictures "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo." Two of these have been TV shows, two have already been movies and one is the sequel of a mistaken first movie -enough said. All will most likely be rated PG-13 or under, too. The trend seems to be that when things get rough at the box office, the studios ride on the safety of things that have already been successful. While we'll still get some good movies, most of these will only be the middle DVD in a box set. How unoriginal.

22, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, JUNE 9,2005 Noles win season series; Gators 'comfortable', prepared for Noles, Omaha BASEBALL, from page 23 Corsaletti, usually one to make bold predictions, showed an unusually calm and serious demeanor when talking about his final series in a Gator uniform "We are fired up about this weekend," Corsaletti said. "We've got a lot of guys that believe we can win." Corsaletti expects McKethan Stadium to reach a new attendance record because of the intense in-state rivalry. "If we win this weekend, it will be pandemonium," Corsaletti said. "They aren't going to be easy games, they will be close. I promise you that." Corsaletti was chosen in the 2004 MLB draft, but opted to remain at UF for a final season. "I look like a genius for coming back for my senior year," Corsaletti said. "I feel like a genius too, I got drafted 16 rounds higher and earned a ring for winning the conference championship. Now we're two wins from Omaha." Seminoles win series Tenth-ranked FSU defeated the Gators (43-20) twice in three games this season. Each game was played on a weekday, not part of a three-game weekend series. UF did not use any of its top starting pitchers, a move that could yield high dividends this weekend. "They haven't seen our best," Corsaletti said. "We're extremely comfortable. We have a whole arsenal. We put ourselves in position to win, you just have to go out and play hard. You can't ask for anything else, you just have to go out and execute. As a team, we're as close as we've ever been. It's going to be exciting." Team unity prevails Falkenbach explained that the 2005 baseball team is as tightly knit as any he's ever played on. "We're all equals, nobody thinks he's a big shot out there," Falkenbach said. "We're all about the team, we're not about individual stuff. I think that's made us come so much closer as a team and help build chemistry. We're all here to do the same thing: get to Omaha." Falkenbach has been the anchor of the pitching staff all season, recording eight saves and pitching in a team-high 46 games. "We have a lot of depth," Falkenbach said. We can throw anybody out there at any time and be successful. .I think that's what has gotten us so far." Corsaletti said that for the four seniors on the Mam and UF coach Pat McMahon -all of whom began at UF in 2002 -the weekend Super Regional is a special opportunity to fulfill goals. "I wouldn't be satisfied if we don't go to Omaha. That's been my dream since I came to college," Corsaletti said. "I came to college because I wanted to go to Omaha. If we don't go there, it's going to be disappointing." A pair of standout sophomores could provide their team with an offensive spark. FSU (53-18) is led by sophomore center fielder Shane Robinson, who was chosen as Collegiate Baseball's National Player of the Year. Robinson had a 40-game hitting streak earlier in the season.

Horne was drafted in the first round in 2001 and was a 30th-round choice in the.2004 MLB Draft. Falkenbach was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays with the 1,282nd overall pick. "I just have to put the draft behind me," Falkenbach said. "I just want to prove to everyone that I can pitch and be successful." Tordi was chosen by the Cincinnati Reds iii the 41" round with the 1,230th overall selection. UF seniors Tommy Boss and Mike Pete were not drafted. Corsaletti said he feels that both players could play professionally as free agents. "Corsaletti, a lifelong Red Sox fan, said there isn't any animosity between him and Horne, his new potential on-field Yankee rival. "We're just happy for each other," Corsaletti said. "We know that if one day we both make it to the big leagues and we're facing each other, that would be pretty damn cool:" Corsaletti makes no secret of his Kim Kiement / Allgater lack of fondness for the Yanees or Jeff Corsaletti was chosen by the Boston Red Sox in the sixth inning of the MLB Yak ee fans on hfacebookeom draft on Tuesday. He leads the Gators with a .378 batting average. profile though. CONTROL, from page 23 Take, for instance, the addition of FieldTurf, a state-of-the-art realistic grass substitute, that will be added to the main practice field. With FieldTurf, the field will drain quicker after those mid-afternoon Florida storms. But if you're attending two-a-day practices in August, don't expect to stare in awe at the super grass. Meyer has moved two-a-days to the University Village South Field, so the practice field will remain fresh for the season. Say it with me again -efficiency. Efficiency and sports success have always gone hand-in-hand. Just ask the -Detroit Pistons, New England Patriots, or even the 1966 Gators. In '66, UF kidney specialist Robert Cade helped the football team solve its hydration problem by inventing a new miracle drink, known today as Gatorade. The Gators finished 9-2 that season and won the Orange Bowl. It's not always the X's and O's that lead to wins. Since Meyer can't preach strategy for a couple of months, making UF football efficient is the logical approach. So while Meyer continues to re-evaluate the program from all angles, he can only play the waiting game and hope his players live up to their end of the bargain. l ie I You can just eat, or you can eat well.

THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org UF efficient with Meyer U rban Meyer is on a mission. Whether it's autographing marriage certificates and surfboards at a booster rally, or traveling the Eastern seaboard at a frantic pace in search of tomorrow's stars, the firstyear UF coach will stop at nothing to make sure the football program returns to prominence. Just don't ask Meyer to jump out of a trunk for a car commercial or sign your underwear. "I refused to do that," Meyer said. "I stand for something." Still two months away from hitting the practice field, the Gators are busy lifting weights and getting in football shape. Urban Tour '05, meanwhile, rolls on. In May alone, Meyer visited 99 high schools in 10 states while Andrew speaking at 10 Abramson booster clubs. Drew's Control It's all Meyer aabramson@alligator.org can really do this time of year, because of those pesky NCAA regulations that force football coaches to stay away from team workouts. So, the Gators' mega makeover is in the hands of trainers and strengthening coaches. Meyer said his trainers at Utah did an outstanding job last year and it showed -Utah didn't lose a single game. But will it work on the Gators, who weren't exactly the most disciplined team under Ron Zook? Regardless, Meyer has to sit back and do the little things, making sure everything will be just right come Septembec It's called efficiency, and it should be the word that defines the earliest stages of the Meyer Era in Gainesville. Let's face it -the UF football program hasn't exactly been efficient in the first half of the '00s. We've seen fraternity brawls, fourth-quarter collapses, walk-ons with Einstein-sized IQs playing linebacker on the road, but not much efficiency. Meyer continues to bring a different approach to Gators football and every little detail coCts. SEE CONTROL, PAGE 22 4 5 8 4 Gators face FSU in Super Regionals By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@alligator.org Call it a dream matchup. Anytime the Gators face the Seminoles, it's a big game. When the chance to become one of the final eight teams left standing in the nation is on the line, it's bigger than big, as in big enough to be broadcast nationally. UF faces Florida State this weekend in a Super Regional round in the NCAA baseball tournament. The winning team moves on to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. "It feels close, as close as it's ever felt," UF senior pitcher Connor Falkenbach said. UF and FSU both lost in the Super Regionals last season, falling to Miami and Arkansas, respectively. "We're at home against Florida State," Falkenbach said. "Everyone is really focused. We're that close, we're two games away." Boss gets Friday nod The sixth-ranked Gators will send senior Tommy Boss (7-4) to the mound on Friday night against FSU starter Bryan Henry (9-2). Saturday evening will feature a match up of UF's Alan Hore (8-2) and the Seminole's Mark Sauls 200 ML DRAFTa Tim casey / Aiiigator Staff Tommy Boss will start for the Gators on Friday night.

UF senior center fielder Jeff SE E BASEBALL, PAGE 22 Four UF players taken in MLB Draft By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@alligator.org Now that 1,502 picks were made during 50 rounds, the UF baseball team can once again set its primary focus on the playing field. Senior outfielder Jeff Corsaletti, junior right-handed pitcher Alan Home, senior right-handed pitcher Conor Falkenbach, junior shortstop Justin Tordi and four signees were-selected Tuesday and Wednesday in the Major League Baseball draft. "It was exciting," Corsaletti said. "I was pretty calm leading up to the draft because I've been through it before. I had heard I'd go anywhere from the fourth to seventh round." Corsaletti was chosen by the defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox, his favorite team, m the sixth round with the 198th overall pick. "When they were done with the fourth, then the seventh, I was frustrated," Corsaletti said. "I knew it was between Philadelphia, Boston or Oakland. When they finally called corsalett. my name, it was such a relief. Now I can just focus on this weekend." Corsaletti leads the Gators in batting average (.378), on-base percentage (.475), walks (47) and doubles (15). Corsaletti was taken in the 22nd round by the Cleveland I June 5, 1998: UF sprinter John Capel becomes a national champion in the 200meter dash. Capel finished with a time of 19.87, and was named 1999s Outstanding Male Athlete of the NCAA Championships. Indians last June, but elected to remain in school. "I'm surprised Alan went as late as he did," Corsaletti said. "The guy hit 97 [mph] in his last three starts. The whole thing's a crapshoot. I bet he throws a [complete game] this weekend." Home was taken by the New York Yankees in the 11th round with the 349th selection. "I value myself as one of the best in the country, there's no doubt about that, in the college ranks," Home said.
