SG to sell Sun deal
Committee to
market paper
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
Student Government is helping the
Sun shine its rays across campus.
Student Body President Joe
Goldberg announced plans Tuesday
for a promotional committee to help
push forward the $46,000 Gainesville
Sun Readership Program recently pur-
chased by the Student Senate.
The program involves the daily
distribution of 2,500 special "student
edition" papers on campus that SG
will purchase incrementally at 10 cents
a copy from tuition-funded reserves.
"This (the marketing committee) is
to ensure that students take advantage
and understand all the benefits associ-
ated with this new program," Goldberg
wrote in a memorandum. "This in-
cludes, but is not limited to, assisting
the management at the Gainesville Sun
on effective marketing strategies and
programs, distribution and promoting
awareness of the program."
The committee of students is head-
ed by Sun bill sponsor Sen. Mike Belle.
Belle was not available for comment.
Goldberg said the committee will
start meeting soon but plans to end its
work before the Sun student edition
makes its way to campus next month.
He called the infant committee a
"think tank to get ideas together."
"This is only to help them get off
the ground," he said; "Then it's go-
ing to be up to the Gainesville Sun to
implement those strategies."
Goldberg said the committee
would not have a stake in the Sun's
editorial decisions.
"The committee should in no
way, shape or form help the editorial
department," he said. "If it is, the com-
mittee will no longer be around." ,
But William "McKeen, chairman
of UF's journalism department, said
some of the goings-on have left him
skeptical.
"The whole thing that has come
up is kind of unusual," he said. "I
think they do some really weird things
under the name of marketing. My con-
cern is that there is going to be an edi-
torial relationship
Student between SG and
GOVermm nt the Gainesville
Sun."
Master lecturer Mike Foley,
who teaches reporting classes in
the College of Journalism and
Communications, said he met with
the managing editor of the Sun last
week and fears faded.
"We were assured that there's go-
ing to be no journalistic problems,"
he said. "You can't blame Student
Government for trying to market
this addition because they are paying
46,000 bucks for it. As long as this com-
mittee doesn't get involved in content,
newsworthiness, story selection or any
other journalistic decision-making, I
don't see a problem."
Foley said he is confident that the
Sun will make the right choices.
"I'm giving them the benefit of the
doubt," he said. "I have no reason to

Award-winning UF professor and author dead at 63
* HIS BOOK "THE COTTON CLUB"
INSPIRED THE 1984 MOVIE.
By ASHLEY JONES
Alligator Contributing Writer
James "Jim" Haskins, a UF literature pro-
fessor and alumnus, passed away Wednesday
from a long-term illness at the age of 63.
Haskins was a noted author and key play-
er in the early development of the African-
American Studies program at UF.
"He was one of the first African-American
professors to diversify this institution," said
* UF co-defensive
coordinator Greg
Mattison and
returning defen-
sive tackle Ray
McDonald look to
instill some much
needed physicality
to the Gators de-
fense this season.
See story, pg. 21.
Irma McClaurin, a professor in the depart-
ment of anthropology.
"He was compassionate about making
African American history celebrated and
acknowledged."
Haskins was the author of more than 100
books including "I Am Rosa Parks," written
with Rosa Parks, and "The Cotton Club,"
which was the inspiration for the 1984 mo-
tion picture of the same title.
Terry Mills, a professor of sociology and
the associate dean for Minority Affairs, said
that more people need to recognize Haskins'
contribution to literature.
Gator Growl discount tickets to go on sale next week
Tickets for the 80th annual
Gator Growl, the largest stu-
dent-run pep rally in the world,
will be available for purchase
starting July 13.
Up to 15,000 tickets will be
available only to students at
a discounted rate of $5 at the
University Box Office located
inside the Constans Theatre
"I'm very saddened by this loss," Mills
said.
"He was a very distinguished professor,
scholar, playwright and author."
Haskins won numer-
ous awards for his writing,
including the Coretta Scott
King Award, the Alabama
Library Association
Award, the Washington
Post Children's Book Guild
Q Award and the Carter G.
Haskins Woodson Award for young
adult nonfiction, which he won twice.
M Student Sen. Sundeep
Rawal paid about $70
to see "Riverdance" in
February, but with new
Student Government-sub-
sidized student tickets,
he will be center-stage at
"Cats" for $10 next Spring.
See story, pg. 4.
(across from the Reitz Union).
Performers for the event
were unknown at press time,
but Growl officials announced
in a release that a decision will
be made by the end of July.
Non-student, general-ad-
mission tickets are $18 and
will be available through
Ticketmaster.
"He was one of the most prolific writers
of the 20th century," McClaurin said. "He
brought to the classroom the same commit-
ment he had toward his writing. He was
dedicated in and out of the classroom."
Emily Dyson, a former student of
Haskins, said "his contribution to literature
is underrated."
Dyson said the subjects he wrote about
years before are still going on and are still
relevant today.
"He was brilliant, creative and dedi-
cated," McClaurin said. "We will miss him
dearly."

Reporter jailed for not revealing anonymous source
* SHE FACES MONTHS IN PRISON
FOR HONORING CONFIDENTIALITY.
By CHUCK BAER
Alligator Contributing Writer
A federal judge jailed New York Times
reporter Judith Miller on Wednesday'for re-
fusing to divulge her source to a grand jury
investigating the Bush administration's leak of
an undercover CIA operative's name.
The prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Patrick
Fitzgerald, responded in court to Miller's
refusal to name her source by saying "we
can't have 50,000 journalists" each making
their own decisions about whether to reveal
sources.
"We cannot tolerate that," he said. "We are
trying to get to the bottom of whether a crime
was committed and by whom."
The case has aroused passions in the media
community, with The Newspaper Guild lead-
ing a two-minute moment of silence in news-.
rooms Wednesday as well as protests around
the nation.
"I think it's a sad day for journalism, a sad
day for freedom and a sad day for democ-
racy," said Bill O'Meara, the guild's New York
chapter secretary of the treasury.
The case is seen as a key test of First
Amendment press freedom, and many media
groups have lined up behind the reporters.
Thirty-one states and the District of Columbia
have shield laws protecting reporters from
having to identify their confidential sources.
However, in this time of the Patriot Act
and increasing tolerance of governmental
intrusion, some see upholding the First
Amendment more as hiding behind it.

"It seems the only people who care are
other journalists," said Jon Roosenraad, as-
sistant dean of UF's College of Journalism
and Communications. "It's very hard to get
average citizens fired up about freedom of the
press issues."
Earlier in the day, co-defendant Time mag-
azine reporter Matthew Cooper said he would
cooperate with the investigation into the leak
of the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame
because his source gave him permission.
As for Miller, unless she decides to talk, she
will be held until the grand jury ends its work
in October. The judge speculated that Miller's
confinement might cause her source to give
her a more specific waiver of confidentiality,
as did Cooper's.
The case continues the debate on the proper

Natural hormone could ease, shorten time in braces
UF researchers: Wearing time could be halved
By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
Ilewis@alligator.org
Orthodontic patients soon may
find their time in braces cut by half,
as UF researchers are testing the
abilities of a natural hormone to bio-
chemically assist in realigning teeth.
While modem orthodontics re-
lies only on force to move patients'
teeth and keep them in place, the
hormone relaxin which is often
used to ease labor pains by soften-
ing collagen in pelvic tissue could
potentially soften gum fibers as well,
said Timothy Wheeler, chairman of
orthodontics at the UF College of
Dentistry.
Because of the firm grip held
by gum fibers, teeth are difficult to
realign and almost always return to

use of anonymous sources, highlighted recent-
ly by the retraction of a Newsweek magazine
story on alleged abuses at the Guantanamo
Bay detention facility and the revelation of
the Deep Throat source from the Watergate
scandal.
"I really don't like confidential sources,"
said Mike Foley, a master lecturer in the
College of Journalism and Communications.
"But I understand why they are used, and I
understand that's the way the world works,
especially in Washington."
At issue is who in the administration
leaked Plame's identity. Her name was dis-
closed in a column by Robert Novak days
after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph
Wilson, impugned part of President Bush's
justification for invading Iraq.
Wilson was sent to Africa by the Bush
administration to investigate an intelligence
claim that Saddam Hussein may have pur-
chased yellowcake uranium from Niger in the
late 1990s for use in nuclear weapons. Wilson
said he could not verify the claim and criti-
cized the administration for manipulating the
intelligence to "exaggerate the Iraqi threat."
Disclosure of an undercover intelligence
officer's identity can be a federal crime if pros-
ecutors can show the leak was intentional and
the person who released the information knew
of the officer's secret status.
Cooper spoke to White House Deputy
Chief of Staff Karl Rove after Wilson's public
criticism of Bush and before Novak's col-
umn ran, according to Rove's lawyer, Robert
Luskin, who denies that Rove leaked Plame's
identity to anyone. Cooper's story mention-
ing Plame's name appeared after Novak's
column. Miller did some reporting, but never
wrote a story.

Senate may lower Phillips student tickets to $10
Christian music event also in works
By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org
Student Sen. Sundeep Rawal paid about
$70 to see "Riverdance" in February, but with
new Student Government-subsidized student
tickets, he will be center-stage at "Cats" for $10
next Spring.
Abill allocating $115,000 to subsidize student
tickets at the Phillips Center for the Performing
Arts for the 2005-2006 season passed its first
reading Tuesday in Student Senate.
Ticket prices can be as high as $70. If the bill
passes, student tickets throughout the audito-
rium, for any show, will cost $10.
"Theoretically, we could buy out the or-
chestra pit," Sen. Jared Hernandez said.
Though the bill has not yet passed, $10 tick-
ets for the 2005-2006 season have been on sale
since June 3. Phillips Center Director Michael
Blachly said he is confident the subsidy, to be
matched by the Phillips Center, will come.
He said 828 student tickets already have
been sold for the upcoming season, expressing
doubt that the tickets will last through Spring.
"We're facing a problem that we all want,"
he told the Senate on Tuesday night. "The sup-
ply and demand issue is one that's working
favorably toward your peers."
The Phillips Center has sold reduced-price
student tickets since 2001, but SG has only
subsidized them since Feb. 15, when it granted
$75,000 to fund the tickets through June 19.
To avoid abuse of the program, a Gator 1
Card is required at purchase of and admission
with the student tickets.
In other performance-related grant news,
SG may help fund "Engage," a Christian
rock concert on campus. It is scheduled for
Sept. 8, though the artist and venue are un-
determined.
Student Government Productions,
SG's entertainment bureau, and Gator
Christian Life are co-sponsoring the event.
Because GCL is not an SG-funded organi-
zation, it has asked SG to cover its half of
the $20,000 bill.
If the Senate grants the request, SG's half
will cover artist fees, and SGP's half will cover
production costs.
GCL is considering two popular national
acts Blindside and Skillet to be sup-
ported by two local bands. Former GCL presi-
dent Galen Wood said although contemporary
Christian music is the sixth-largest genre in the
nation, it is not represented at UE
UF has 20 Christian organizations and
2,700 involved students, Wood said.
"Why do we have classical concerts when
this type of music outsells classical two-to-
one?" Wood said.
However, Sen. Jamie Wathen expressed
concern about the absence of SGP Chairman
Joey Van de Bogart at Tuesday's meeting.
"I don't feel comfortable if SGP says, 'You
pay $10,000, we'll spot the other 10,' and then
they don't show up to the meeting," she said.
The bill requires one more reading and a
vote to pass.
Gainesville congregation endorses same-sex marriage
By ALEJANDRA CANCINO
Alligator Contributing Writer
The United Church of Gainesville
has approved in spirit a resolu-
tion endorsing same-sex marriage,
which it has practiced for years.
The United Church of Christ's
General Synod, the church's rule-
making body, officially adopted the
resolution Monday. The Gainesville
congregation was first asked to ap-
prove it at least as early as April.

However, the local congregation
affiliated with the United Church of
Christ has followed an "open and
affirming" ideology toward the gay,
lesbian, bisexual and transgender
community since 1991.
Larry Reimer, a United Church
of Gainesville pastor, said the
Gainesville congregation unani-
mously approved the resolution.
"All people are children of God,"
he said. "Marriage is afforded to
everyone else in the United States,
including convicted felons and
sex offenders. The only people in
America that can't get married are
gay people."
Monday's resolu-
LOCal tion encourages the
News church's 1.3 million
members nationwide
to adopt "wedding policies at their
churches that do not discriminate
against gay and lesbian couples."
And it urges the congregations
to support legislation to grant equal
rights to all couples, regardless of
their gender, and to work against
laws banning gay marriage.
"This is a very important and
exciting step for the gay community
and the people of faith who made
this resolution," said Tamara Cohen,
director of UF's Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender Affairs.
Cohen said because opponents
of the resolution try to define "mar-
riage" as a sanctified union between

Mosquito numbers controlled
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
In a city used to roller-coaster
population swings, local health of-
ficials are happy to report controlled
numbers of a particularly less-than-
welcome resident: the mosquito.
"Typically, it's a peak time, but
right now we're just not seeing it,"
Gainesville Mosquito Control ento-
mologist Kellie Etherson said.
Florida's June-to-October hur-
ricane season, which often brings
months of rainy weather, helps
mosquitoes breed wherever standing
water collects.
However, this season has seen
fewer mosquitoes, Etherson said.
Gainesville Mosquito Control,
which operates inside city limits, em-
phasizes controlling mosquito larvae
before they hatch by draining stand-
ing water in low-lying areas and using
mosquito-eating fish and bacteria.
Etherson said Gainesville hasn't
had to spray for mosquitoes this year
because officials continuously moni-
tor about 50 poorly draining "hot
spots" throughout Gainesville where
mosquitoes are likely to breed.
"In past years, the spraying has
become less frequent, and that's what
we strive for," Etherson said. "We
look at spraying as a failure."
"Typically, it's a peak time,
but right now we're just not
seeing it."
Kellie Etherson
Gainesville entomologist
Gainesville Mosquito Control's
Web site states more than 200 mos-
quitoes can breed from one table-
spoon of water.
Adult mosquitoes have the ability
to.transmit diseases such as West Nile
Virus and encephalitis to animals and
humans. Alachua County Health
Department Environmental Health
Director Paul Myers said four horses
and 14 chickens have tested positive
for Eastern Equine Encephalitis in
Alachua County this year, but no hu-
man cases have been reported.
."While the risk is low, the risk is
not zero," Myers said.
Draining plant containers, bottles,
gutters and anything else that can col-
lect water is recommended to avoid
breeding your own mosquitoes.
To avoid mosquito bites, Etherson
advised staying indoors at dawn and
dusk, as well as wearing like-colored
outfits.
"Mosquitoes don't see color, but
they see contrast," she said.
Mosquitoes also are attracted to
chemicals in sweat, as well as certain
odors such as perfume and cologne.
Mosquito repellents containing
the chemical DEET also are recom-
mended, as well as two new, more
natural chemicals recently approved
for use: Picaridin and oil of lemon
eucalyptus.
Mosquito populations surged
in Gainesville last year, following
flooding from hurricanes Frances
and Jeanne where officials could not
reach all the standing water sites.

doubt their ethics at all. That's our biggest concern. You
don't want to compromise any of the journalistic standards.
So far, I've seen no evidence that anyone wants to do that."
He said the editor of the student section has not been
appointed yet.
Goldberg said SG would not spend additional money to
implement the committee's marketing strategy.
"We're paying for these papers," he said.
Goldberg said SG's executive branch has about $58,000
allotted this year for advertising, but the whole of SG spends
hundreds of thousands of dollars annually on promotion.
Senate President Pro Tempore John Boyles said that
even without a budget, the committee could use SG's Web
site, UF's Wednesday Update e-mail service, the Student
Activities Center and other methods to promote the Sun.
Boyles said SG has created committees in the past to
increase awareness of the USA Today and The New York
Times readership programs.
"I believe that the goal of the committee is to help to pro-
mote a service that SG is providing," he said.
Boyles said SG is wary of spending money advertising
what student Activity & Service fees fund.
"We do our best to not use student money to get the word
out about what their money is already doing," he said.

We're back.
Built better, stronger and faster than before, the
Department of Darts & Laurels is eager to tackle the raging
bull that is American life, circa 2005.
Funny, though, as our eyes wander to the countryside of
France and glue themselves to the spinning spokes of the 189
men competing in this year's Tour de France.
How else should we spend Summer B, as our tests and
papers pile up, than watching four hours of biking every day
through the majestic French countryside?
Oh, there are better ways. Silly us.
We're a little wistful as we pedal into this week's edition
of...
Darts & Laurels
While we rev ourselves up for the main field, we'll stay on
topic and hand a the-first-crash-is-the-deepest LAUREL to
Lance Armstrong, everyone's favorite lung, brain, abdomen
and testicular cancer survivor, for making a class gesture
Wednesday.
After, the former leader of the Tour de France, David
Zabriskie, crashed and dropped out of first place Tuesday,
Armstrong would not don the symbolic yellow jersey of the
top rider until a Tour official made him or else.
Since Armstrong himself crashed several times while in
contention, including twice during his victorious Tour run in
2003, he's no stranger to reversals of yellow-jersey fortune.
Other riders have made similar moves in the past for their
fallen competitors, but we salute Armstrong for giving ever
more credibility to a sport already known for its politeness.
Switching gears to a less polite frame of reference, we'll
expel an of-course-we're-not-a-culture-of-fear DART to the
many governmental agencies involved in Esuvee.com, a
"consumer awareness and safety" Web site that has aired a
number of esoteric TV and movie-theater ads.
Instead of spending the millions of dollars they're
spending on the program to lobby for changes to the auto
industry's practices, the groups behind Esuvee.com ins.eadd
hold the SUV driver responsible in "teaching" them how to
handle the dangerous equipment. '
A true case of government on our side.
We've been called esoteric a few million times before, so
we'll mount the highest horse in the land and stretch to hand
a putting-away-childish-things LAUREL to the Student
Senate for quietly ending the Gator Growl funding debate.
Hear us out: Instead of passing an even more exorbitant
bill in defiance of the earlier veto of $200,000 in Growl fund-
ing, the Senate chose to stick close to the $140,000 approved
by the administration.
The new plan also will reduce 15,000 student Growl tick-
ets to $5 instead of giving the $140,000 away scot-free, which
was one criticism of the earlier plan.
Disagree with the so-called "bailout" or not, Student
Government officials' willingness to end the madness shows
strength.
With the finish line in sight, we use the last gas in our
tank to build a thank-you-for-seeing-that-two-wrongs-don't-
.make-a-right LAUREL for New York Times reporter Judith
Miller, who could spend months behind bars for not divulg-
ing her sources to a federal prosecutor.
Talk about crash and burn into the blind steam locomotive
of justice.
Miller made a decision anyone with ethical standards
should support she refused to sell her livelihood short to
appease faceless officials who don't care about the implica-
tions of their actions.
In its own way, it's much like Lance Armstrong, on a hec-
tic street in Chambord, zipping up a blue-and-white jersey in
defiance of the rules for the sake of decency.

Newspaper projects an affront to university town
Editor: I long have cherished a belief in an absolute
right to freedom of the press. That belief has been shaken
in the last month in this university town.
As if the Alligator were not enough to separate
the students from the rest of us, the New York Times-
owned Gainesville Sun was reported here to be work-
ing with the UF School of Journalism to create pages
with news for area college students.
Our students apparently have other things on their
minds. And if they don't they soon will, courtesy of a
New York Times concept.
But that degree of separation pales by comparison
with the the likely result of a reported intent of the New
York Times to publish a newspaper targeted to a poor
black community created by de jure/de facto segrega-
tion in East Gainesville.
When I left Orlando, three weeklies and a newsletter
targeted "news" to blacks, who generally are left out of
positive news in The Orlando Sentinel.
But at least they were black-owned.
Still the result was-to move the community toward
racial separation: "voluntarily separate" but "equal."
Such "specialization" in a university town dumbs
down our common interests. All that is left for us to
share are the TV wonders of Entertainment Tonight and
. of course all Gator sports.'

Site offers up
free iPods
Gratis means free in French. Now, it means free
everywhere.
Gratis Internet Inc., an online marketing
firm started in 2000 by Rob Jewell and Peter Martin
from Washington, D.C., created 15 Web sites devot-
ed to giving away free stuff. Its business covers all
the essentials, from condoms and handbags to video
games and iPods.
FreeiPods.com, possibly the most popular of the
family of free sites, caters to music-loving, starving
students and anyone else on a budget.
Receiving an iPod involves these relatively
simple steps.
Go to freeiPods.com and register. Then, sign
up for one of the advertised free-trial offers. Get
five friends to do the same thing under your refer-
ral number,
and the iPod
.Erin will be in the
Chalfant mail.
Curtain Call The dif-
theavenue@alligator.org faculty lies
in getting
friends to
sign up, paying shipping-and-handling fees and
possibly dealing with increased spam.
Patience is also an issue. Allow a week for the
site to process each step.
In an effort to speed things up before going
abroad, Nick Ciavarella, a junior studying acting
at Florida State University, tried to forward all
five referrals to himself. He was caught.
"I was totally bummed for two days," he says
after learning that he could not use separate e-
mail accounts with the same name.
"Embarrassingly enough, I spent six, maybe
seven hours on it in one day," Ciavarella says.
Others don't mind doing things the old-fash-
ioned way.
"I'd rather not go through the hassle," UF psy-
chology senior Dana Lauesen says.
Lauesen's parents will buy her an iPod for her
birthday this month, but the possibility of some-
thing free looms large for many others.
Gratis shipped between 400 to 600 iPods a
week at the end of April, contributing-to a total
of $8 million worth of stuff reportedly given away
by Gratis.
FreeCondoms.com was the first of the free
sites.
After its success, Gratis moved on to bigger,
more expensive products such as iPods, flat-
screen TVs and digital cameras.
Electronics have proven to be a profitable up-
grade.
More than 16,000 iPods have been given away
since freeiPods.com was launched in June 2004.
Gratis reported making $15 million in 2004, a
huge leap from its profit of $5 million the previ-
ous year.

Through the first chapters, I

and sanitized perspective impos-

Allende's "Zorro" takes place
in early 19th-century California,
describes the birth and early
life of Diego de la Vega, son
of a wealthy Spanish soldier
and a Native American warrior
woman.
Obviously, Allende thor-
oughly researched the period.
She interweaves her characters'

who is able to describe the hero
as equally flawed, as he is both
brave and kind.
In fact, Allende does such a
good job portraying Diego as im-
failed to fall in love with him.
Instead, I sighed over his best
friend and sidekick, Bernardo,
who after wit-
Jayme nessing his

heavenue@alligator.org chooses not
to ever speak
again.
I guess I have a thing for the
quiet, brooding type.
I think the idea of a woman
telling the story of Zorro is great,
but I personally found this fe-
male narrator irritating.
Despite being a character close
stant
from the story.
Each rare occasion she inter-
jected her opinions felt like a
forced attempt to be funny.
The dialogue and actions of
Zorro are predictable, and I must
warn readers expecting exciting
scenes of swashbuckling sword-
play that they'll be disappointed.
These scenes are scattered and
short.
I would have loved this book
if it weren't for the narrator.
Don't get me wrong, "Zorro"
is a fun novel. I just think it
,had the potential to be so much
more.
Hardcore band networks, scores own Southeast tour
B oyhood friends and brothers are
banging out hardcore beats on their
Southeast tour this summer.
Starting Over, an Ocala band, consists
of Joe Barnes, 21, and his brother Randy
Barnes, 17, and high school friends Erik
Nilsen, 18, and Chad Tauber, 18. Lead
singer Greg Shields, 20, has been with the
band for about three months.
Their music will be embraced by fans of
bands From First to Last and Senses Fail.
Starting Over will be playing shows
throughout Florida and will also be hitting
Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.
"We are doing a Southeast tour for
eight days at the end of July. We are all
pretty excited," Joe Barnes says.
Barnes says he credits .
getting the shows for the -.
tour by his perseverance
in networking through
the Internet.
"I get on Myspace and
send e-mails out to bands
saying pretty much, 'If you scratch our
backs, we'll scratch yours,'" Joe says. "You
get ignored sometimes, but you just keep
asking."
Days on the road look to be full of fun
for Starting Over.
"We are the proud owners of a 1997
Chrysler Town &
Amanda Country. It gets us where
Seyfang we need to be and hasn't
Playlist given us any problems;"
theavenue@alligator.org Barnes says.
He. says their time
on the road is generally
boring, but they plan to break it up by
promoting the band.
"Typically, we find whatever malls we
can in the area of the show we have sched-
uled for that particular day and promote
the heck out of the band," Barnes says. "I
credit this method as being the reason for
all the Myspace friends we have, as well as
the countless amount of online streaming
plays we receive daily."
Don't knock these guys just because
they are from Ocala. The city has more of a
-music scene than you think.
Some years it is really big, and some
years it is really low, Barnes says. There is
a lot of hardcore music.
Go see the Ocala rockers Starting Over

New football video games will tackle predecessors
Every summer, as building
anticipation haunts the
minds of football fans across
the country, some of us get our
own team's opening kickoffs a
little early.
We get NCAA. We get
Madden.
These video-game replicas may
be no replacement for watching a
real pigskin, but the games are
two of the most popular released
on any system every year. This
year's games promise the big-
gest improvements yet because
Electronic Arts knows what it is
talking about. When you remake
a game 15 times, you get pretty
good at it.
"Madden 06" won't hit stores
until Aug. 8, but the "NCAA
Football 06" release date of July
11, and its slew of impressive
new features, are right around the
corner.
This year, "NCAA Football 06"
promises to include two or three
impact players who, after a series
of successes, can perform "game-
breaking" actions other players
cannot.
Originally, I worried this ad-
dition would be a repetition of
last year's intimidation system,
which was too easily abused and
resulted in scared-defensive backs
and automatic points.
Gamers potentially could
depend entirely on their game
breakers, their three impact play-
ers, and earning a "game-break-
ing" moment or an instant
touchdown in every series.
But EA has foreseen this unre-
alistic plan. "Game-breaking" mo-
ments will become an occasional
reward rather
than a constant
strategy.
First off, they
will be more like
timely stiff arms
or a key pass de-
flection than a miracle Hail Mary
or an impossible interception.
And second, you'll be lucky to get
two a game.
The new "Road to the
Heisman" feature will let gamers
generate their own high schooler,
recruit him and work their own
impact player four years in pur-
suit of the coveted trophy.
UF's impact players are deserv-
D
t
ingly Chris Leak, Chad Jackson
and Earl Everett.
Second only to the addition of
impact play-
Brett ers to "NCAA
Kelman Football 06" is
don't Hate the Playa the inclusion
heavenue@alligator.org of the "Hit
Stick," which
is old news
from last year's Madden, and
its new counterpart, the "Truck
Stick."
Now, as linebackers flick the
joystick and feel the bones crunch
beneath their thumbs, so too can
beefy running backs as they lower
their shoulders and pursue the
shortest distance to the end zone
a straight line.
I think this is a much-needed
addition, since a charging bruiser
won't have to let percentages de-
cide if he breaks the next tackle.
Still, like that risky hit stick, usirg
the truck stick constantly should
have serious drawbacks.
With impact players, "Road to
the Heisman" and the truck stick
all joining the game, this year's
installment of NCAA football is
something to get excited about.
Maybe this is the year that
this fan's favorite finally will
outdo its older, professional and
consistently better brother. Still,
with adaptive AI, new franchise
options and the ridiculously in-
tricate "Superstar Mode," what
"Madden 06" promises is equally
intriguing.
Honestly, I'm buying both.
Spielberg overdoes apocalyptic terror with 'Worlds'
If aliens attacked the human race, took
us hostage, killed us and then sprayed
our blood all over the remains of the
destruction, it would be apparent to al-
most anyone that it would suck.
Director Steven Spielberg wanted to
make this clear to moviegoers in his latest
film, "War of the Worlds," and he definite-
ly did over and over and over again.
The movie, based on H.G. Wells' 1898
novel about alien invasion, is an intense
and thrilling sci-fi spectacle that fails to
go any deeper than the novel, despite
Spielberg's desperate attempt.
Tom Cruise stars as divorced deadbeat
dad Ray Ferrier, who seems to have no
skills as a parent and no connection other
than sharing the same blood with his chil-
dren.
When their mother and stepfather drop
them off to spend the weekend with their
dad, all hell breaks loose literally.
Aliens inserted into the ground by freak
lightning storms man massive tripod de-
struction machines planted
on Earth before the human
race existed.
Of course, they imme-
diately start to disintegrate
humans one by one.
Sounds crazy I know, but
it's pretty cool.
While I personally didn't ooh and
aah during the annihilation sequences as
much as I cringed and gripped onto the
person next to me one of my manly guy
friends, thank goodness audiences will
leave the theater impressed at the elements
of sound, act-ion and special effects.
Much like a bodybuilder with a less
than huge southern region, "War of the
Worlds" overcompensates with its special
effects for its lousy dialogue, plot and even
acting.
Spielberg seemed to dramatize every-
thing in the movie,
pushing emotional
Melissa ._ boundaries to the point
Filipkowski where the actors are
The Reel Life overacting.
theavenue@alligator.org It's ironic actually,
if you think about how
the movie and all the
Tom Cruise madness was overpublicized.
The plot of the movie also drags on and
is choppy at places.
Most of the movie is Cruise and his two
kids running away from the huge alien tri-
pod killing machines;-and after 15 minutes
you'll get the point aliens bad, humans
good, characters must runaway.
While at first the movie is extremely
intense and terrifying, how much death
and destruction can you see before you get
used to it?
Perhaps if Spielberg had created more
meaningful emotional ties to characters, I
might have felt a little sorrier for them.
The worst aspect of the movie was
Spielberg incorporating some political
propaganda.
Dakota Fanning, who plays Cruise's
wide-eyed and constantly screaming
daughter, fearfully asks her father if it
is terrorists attacking them, and family
members desperately look at walls and
walls of missing ad fliers that are obvi-
ously a reference to Sept. 11, 2001.
Overall, the movie is only good but
mainly for its special effects and action
sequences.
Again, like bodybuilders: It's some-
thing good to look at, but only expect to be
intrigued for about 15 minutes.

Men strike back, critique women's fashion no-nos
Ante up, ladies; it's time to admit that
maybe we don't give guys enough
credit.
This week I truly was stunned to find that
masked by a facade of beer guzzling, female
ogling and sports watching, men actually
may be deep thinkers.
I understand that statement is rather
shocking; I'm still befuddled myself.
You see, the goal was to seek out the pet
peeves of female fashion from the male per-
spective. It may seem a futile effort at-first,
for when it comes to style, we ladies tend to
hold the cards. However, it's only fair to deal
the guys in, too.
It was a good week. I bet the gym and the
bars were the two havens of male bonding
where I would have the highest success rate.
And yes, I won that round.
Upon asking the million-dollar question,
of course there were the replies, "I like it
when they wear nothing," and "It's not what
girls are wearing, it's trying to get them out
of it," and "those ugly ruffled mini skirts."
You know, the ones you learn to expect.
But, then there were the trump cards,
the answers I didn't anticipate. Men were
actually philosophizing and discussing the
intangible qualities of style.
Ladies, in fashion as in life the stakes are
high you must be weary of the consequenc-
es of your actions and always look out for No.
1. Brace yourselves; in taking this matter to the
guys I found they were not full of No. 2.
Here are their top five replies:
5. Overdressing Mies Van der Rohe
said it best: "Less is more." There is no
need to parade around all
day dressed like you're ^
ready to take on the night
scene. However, if you
jusf haven't been to bed .
from the" evening before,
go on rock star, you're
all in.
4. Too much uniformity How can you
be eye-catching if you get lost in the shuffle?
So unless you plan to take over the world
with your army of clones, ladies please re-
lieve your ruffled mini skirts of their negli-
gible duties.
3. Dressing inappropriately for the sea-
son Like a house of cards, this action is
very prone to fault. You should know bet-
ter than to wear those damn Uggs in the
summer if you are going to whine about
how hot you are, or wear tank tops in the
winter if you're going to complain that
you're cold.
2. Caring too much about what others
think, especially women I think they hit
the nail on the head here.
I admit that in the past I, too, have been
guilty of this but since learned the error of
my ways. It's so liberating not to care what'
people think.
Christine However, the opinions
Steffens of others can mean the
Fashion a Go-Go difference between look-
Fashion a Go-Go .
theavenue@alligator.org ing fabulous and looking
foolish.
So use common sense,
play your cards right and find value in the
minds of those you trust.
Finally, the royal flush of answers:
1. Lacking discretion in clothing choices
and not dressing for your body type Oh,
where do I begin?
Ladies, you and I know we come in all
shapes and sizes. Just because we may be
able to fit into a size 6 pair of jeans, that
doesn't mean we should wear them in pub-
lic. Maybe.a size 8 would be better?
When it comes to showing skin, it is im-
perative to proceed with caution and think
outside the box. Why bare a stomach paunch
when you have a great pair of legs? What we
don't realize is that we actually detract from
ourselves when we reveal too much, just like
a bad poker face.
Emphasizing our assets and playing
down our imperfections. enables us to put
ourselves out there with confidence. We tell
the world how we want to be seen instead of
being the passive victims of overexposure,
thus allowing the world to judge us.
Let's call a spade a spade: The best-
looking woman is the one who feels
comfortable in her skin, lets her person-
ality shine through, is independent and
celebrates her uniqueness. Not necessarily
the one with the best clothes or the most
rocking body.
Ladies, I hope you fared well in this
hand. If not, it was time to deal a new round
anyway.
Though we may be more fashion-for-
ward than our male counterparts, it took a
guy to make me realize it may be for all the
wrong reasons. However, in poker if you
break even, you're still a winner.
Are you tired
of all that
100 million trees must be cut
down every year to help pro-
vide the paper for magazines,
catalogs and junk mail result-
ing in 40 million tons of paper
clogging the landfills each
year.
Junk mail is one of the most
difficult papers to recycle. It is
deeply inked and colored. The
process takes a large amount
of water and chemicals. The
slurry formed after this pro-
cess is nothing more that in-
dustrial waste.

that allowed 8 out of 12 opponents to rush
for more than 100 yards in 2004 while com-
piling-just 23 sacks.
Enter Greg Mattison.
As the Gators' new defensive line coach
and co-defensive coordinator, Mattison's
attitude on the field screams of Big Ten
Conference coaching experience. Before
arriving at UF, Mattison coached at
Michigan for four years and Notre Dame
for seven.
This spring, he worked relentlessly at
implanting his philosophy in Gainesville.
In 2005, the key to the Gators' defensive
front will revolve around putting more
pressure on the quarterback. During the
spring Mattison circled that as the biggest
area that needed to be worked on before
UF's season opener against Wyoming on
Sept. 3.
"We have a lot of work to do on pass
rush and that is one phase we will work
extremely hard on this summer," Mattison
said. "If someone were to have asked,
'What do you feel you haven't done good
enough coaching this spring?' [I would
have said] I feel like we didn't improve
enough in the pass rush."
UF returns all four starters up front, but
both the defensive line and the defense as
a whole will be anchored by the talented

be at the right defensive end spot where

Calls leave fans wondering if referees can do better
By JEREMY FOWLER
v December 1, 2003
With every breath on his
black whistle decorated with
bite marks, UF intramural sports
referee Gilad Goldenholtz is self-
assured and confident.
The seasoned football official
'~as covered some of the biggest
Gators intramural games for the
past three years, and not once has
he remotely blown a game on one
call, he said. Guarding the flagger
- he'll accurately make that call
every time.
So while the officials from
the UF-Florida .State game re-de-
fined "instant replay" after their
miscalls, the 21-year-old is the
nameplate for grandiose and de-
VB^^'^ssa^
pendable officiating.
"I don't miss calls, ever," he
said. "And the way those referees
called that FSU game, I would
have never blown it like that."
Goldenholtz's last comment
seems to reverberate with every
Gator fan from Gainesville to
Pensacola.
Gator Nation feels shafted,
run amuck, bamboozled and de-
stroyed by the men in the white
and black.
They should.
Sure, FSU officially lost one
fumble Saturday against UF, but
the officials from the Atlantic
Coast Conference dropped the
ball all game with at least three
terrible calls on possible fumbles.
That's why everyone with a
coherent football sense feels they
could have called a better game
than the one displayed Saturday
night, Goldenholtz included.
Of course,
nobody wants to
Classic blame the refer-
Story ees for losing a
game. UF play-
ers know that's usually the easy
way out, like ordering pizza at 3
a.m. instead of making a chicken
casserole.
But head referee Jack Childress
and his henchmen ordered to call
the game because they were from
the visiting team's conference
- possibly swung the game by 14
points because of touchdowns
after fumble recoveries.

Tristan Maher / Alligator Staff
Florida State fans had plenty of reasons to celebrate after FSU defeated UF 38-34 in one of the most
controversial games in team history. Questionable referee calls marred the final outcome.
entire outlook of entirely too im-
portant of a game for both parties,
there's something terribly wrong.
Sports officials might as well start
calling Tiger Woods for illegal
grounding every time he uses a
pitching wedge within 75 yards,
or Kobe Bryant for a personal foul
every time his shot is too pretty, or
a decrepit old lady for roughing
the shuffler every time she heck-
les her opponent in shuffle board.
This just doesn't make sense.
Offensive guard Shannon Snell
was so outraged from the calls, he
couldn't refrain from using four
expletives in less than 6 minutes
during a post-game interview.
"It's bulls---," said Snell,
usually an affable, cuddly bear
who listens to U2 and Kid Rock.
"They took five fumbles away
from us that should have been
ours. I have a newfound respect
for [Southeastern Conference] of-
ficiating right now, and I thought
they gave us some tough calls.
But the ACC, you'd think they'd
know what they were doing."
I think it's safe to say if one
- just one of those calls swings
in UF's favor Saturday, the Gators
win. People can say hundreds of
plays determine the outcome of a
game, not just one or two or five.
But the five fumbled plays by the
referees Saturday overshadow
most all others because many
were the difference between a
touchdown and an arrow to the
heart, an extended lead and an 8-
4 record, a Citrus Bowl and a free
bowl of soup for consolation.
Instead, Coach Ron Zook had
to glance at the scoreboard at half-
time FSU 17, UF 6 pondering
how different the yellow-lighted
numbers could have looked be-
fore three momentum-turning
miscalls in the first half.
"I don't know what the ACC
officials were doing in our house,"
linebacker Charming Crowder
said.
Still hard
to swallow
By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligator.org
You can try to find a Gators fan
that has forgotten, the infamous
2003 UF-FSU football game,
now dubbed the Swindle in the
Swamp, but you'd probably
have better luck finding a Ron
Zook fan in Gainesville. Since the
advent of modem sports, fans
have always pointed the finger at
referees for seemingly ill-advised
calls going against their favorite
team. But after this hard-fought
game, everyone felt cheated.
"[The NCAA] needs to bring
in officials from another confer-
ence, maybe Pac-10 or Big Ten,
because this was definitely a bi-
ased game," former UF offensive
lineman Shannon Snell said. "It
was bull. [The officials] took the
game away from us."
But you didn't have to be a UF
fan to raise your eyebrows at the
officiating that always seemed to
go FSU's way. Several Seminoles
players admitted that the offici-
ating was far from perfect, but
from the FSU perspective it was
still a solid Seminoles victory.
"That's the way games
go," FSU running back Leon
Washington said. "Even if, and
that's a big if, the referees made
a bad call, [Florida] had the game
won. They scored [with 2:50 left]
and were up by three."
In the end, ACC officials ad-
mitted the calls were inaccurate.
"The ACC admits mistakes
were made," Foley said.
"It's not something I agree
with whether it's the SEC or
ACC, but that has nothing to do
with this situation. I think people
should be held accountable."
In this classic column, Jeremy
Fowler discovers that even an
intramural referee could have
called this game correctly.

Lee makes debut with Knicks
By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer .
aabramson@alligatororg
With one pick left in the first round
of last week's NBA Draft, David Lee...
was angry. His cell phone was silent 3
and it didn't look like the New York
Knicks were calling him with any sort .
of that, "Hey, good news, we're draft-
ing you," rhetoric. ,
It turns out Lee had no reception
in the bar where he was watching the
Draft, so he relied on the TV for the I ,
most joyous news of his life Lee
was heading to the Knicks.
So much has gone through Lee's
head in the past week, but when the
former UF forward officially replaced
the orange and blue jersey with New
York's own variation of orange and
blue on Wednesday, UF men's basket-
ball's biggest success story in recent
years realized he had made it.
"It's unbelievable," Lee said. "The
New York Knicks are such a great
franchise and the city is so wonderful.
It was a really special feeling tonight,.
although you can't really call it a true._
game by any means. We're still wear- .
ing practice jerseys, the veterans aren't
here, but this a building block."
The Knicks lost their Las Vegas
summer league opener to the Portland
Trail Blazers 93-89, but the score was a
mere footnote.
After the Knicks suffered through
a dismal 33-49 season this past year,
Knicks president Isiah Thomas called
for change.
The change brought three fresh
faces to the Big Apple, all first round
draft picks.

Defensive pros-
pect commits
* UF COACH URBAN MEYER CONTINUES TO
RECEIVE VERBAL COMMITMENTS FOR 2006.
By BLAKE BONSACK
Alligator Writer
The UF football team continues to stock up for the fu-
ture after receiving a verbal commitment from Bradenton
defensive line prospect Terron Sanders.
Sanders, a 6-foot-2, 298-pound nose guard put of
Southeast High, will enter his final high school season
this fall after being named 2nd team All-State as a ju-
nior.
For Sanders, getting an education was a priority in
making his decision.
"The academic level," said Sanders, when asked
why he wants to play for UF beginning in 2006. "The
University of Florida is one of the top academic pro-
grams in the nation and that's really high on my part."
Sanders also said his personal relationship with
Urban Meyer and his coaching staff was an important
factor.
"The other big thing was Urban Meyer and the pres-
sure on him to win," Sanders said. "It meant a lot to me
that he had the trust in me to offer a scholarship."
Sanders attended summer football camp last month
and impressed the coaching staff with his strength, tech-
nique and tremendous first-step quickness.
Sanders, along with current 2006 UF commit Corey
H Hobb-, could fill the need for powerful, run-stutqn
defensive linemen to compliment the defense agg64.-
sive style.
After failing to sign any defensive lineman from the
high school class of 2005, the need has become even more
crucial. Look for the Gat.ors to sign two to three more
defensive linemen from the high school class of 2006.
With juniors Marcus Thomas, Ray McDonald, Joe
Cohen, Steven Harris and senior Jeremy Mincey nearing
graduation, the 2006 class could see playing time early
on.
Although verbal commitments are non-binding and
Sanders could sign with a different school come national
signing day on Feb. 1, he said that he has no intention of
continuing to look at other schools. -

Not-so-happy reunion scheduled for Lee, Drejer in summer league
Heads up two former Gators are

Much of Gator Nation might recall Feb. 18,

One day after not making the trip for
a Southeastern Conference showdown at
Georgia, Christian Drejer shocked UF fans
and teammates alike, announcing his decision
to leave the Gators for a professional gig in
Barcelona.
"It's a strange deal," Lee, then a junior, told

my best friend on the team, and I never even
got a call from him.
"I was walking out of the locker room [the
previous Sunday]. I said-Later, Christian, I'll
see you tomorrow,' and he said, 'I'll see you
tomorrow D-Lee.' He gave me a little peace
sign, and I never spoke to the kid again. That's
been the hardest thing for me. But you've just
got to move on."
And the one-time pals have moved on
- only in different directions.

to the 2005 NBA Eastern Conference Finals,

New York Knicks in last.week's NBA Draft.
Considered an NBA. first-round lock out
of Danish prep school, Drejer finally caved in
to the seven-figure proposals from European
clubs, abandoning the Gators for PC Barcelona,
but his bluff had been called.

ented player he had ever seen in practice, fell

al.'hree players saw ample time
on the court Wednesday.
Lee finished with nine points
and seven rebounds in 21 min-
utes, shooting 2-of-6 from the
field and recording two assists.
Channing Frye, the 8th
pick in the draft from Arizona,
played 29 minutes, finishing
with 16 points.
The other first rounder on
New York's roster, 5-foot-9
guard Nate Robinson who was
acquired in a trade from the
Phoenix Suns, finished with 20
points and five assists.
Former Gators center Brent
Wright also played for New York
and showed promise, finishing
with eight points and shooting
4-for-5 from the field.
If Lee hopes to continue play-
ing 21 minutes a game when the
scores count, he may have to
adjust to a new game plan.
After playing center and
power forward at UF, Lee played
small forward on Wednesday.
While no one doubts Lee's athle-
tism, it's a drastic change for the
6-foot-9 big man.
"They don't know what I can
do at [power forward]," Lee said.
"There's quite a few big guys in
this summer league, but I'll be
playing more [power forward]
eventually.
"Everything went really well
and the team is really happy
with me. The biggest thing was
just getting that first exhibition
game under my belt."

Sanders' commitment comes as a great relief while he begins to

Not officially associated with the University of Florida VOLUME 98 ISSUE 157 S~tsell Sun deal the independent florida FabIshed by Caps, Cmmun nations, Inc. of Gainesvlle, Florida We Inform. You Decide. T Recycle0 THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2005 Committee to market paper By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org Student Government is helping the Sun shine its rays across campus. Student Body President Joe Goldberg announced plans Tuesday for a promotional committee to help push forward the $46,000 Gainesville Sun Readership Program recently purchased by the Student Senate. The program involves the daily distribution of 2,500 special "student edition" papers on campus that SG will purchase incrementally at 10 cents a copy from tuition-funded reserves. "This (the marketing committee) is to ensure that students take advantage and understand all the benefits associated with this new program," Goldberg wrote in a memorandum. "This indudes, but is not limited to, assisting the management at the Gainesville Sun on effective marketing strategies and programs, distribution and promoting awareness of the program." The committee of students is headed by Sun bill sponsor Sen. Mike Belle. Belle was not available for comment. Goldberg said the committee will start meeting soon but plans to end its work before the Sun student edition makes its way to campus next month. He called the infant committee a "think tank to get ideas together." "This is only to help them get off the ground," he said "Then it's going to be up to the Gainesville Sun to implement those strategies." Goldberg said the committee would not have a stake in the Sun's editorial decisions. "The committee should in no way, shape or form help the editorial department," he said. "If it is, the committee will no longer be around." But William 'McKeen, chairman of UF's journalism department, said some of the goings-on have left him skeptical. "The whole thing that has come up is kind of unusual," he said. "I think they do some really weird things under the name of marketing. My concem is that there is going to be an editorial relationship Student between SG and the Gainesville Sun." Master lecturer Mike Foley, who teaches reporting classes in the College of Journalism and Communications, said he met with the managing editor of the Sun last week and fears faded.

THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2005m ALLIGATOR, 3 19 SHE FACES MONTHS IN PRISON FOR HONORING CONFIDENTIALITY. By CHUCK BAER Alligator Contributing Writer A federal judge jailed New York Times reporter Judith Miller on Wednesdaytfor refusing to divulge her source to a grand jury investigating the Bush administration's leak of an undercover CIA operative's name. The prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, responded in court to Miller's refusal to name her source by saying "we can't have 50,000 journalists" each making their own decisions about whether to reveal sources. "We cannot tolerate that," he said. "We are trying to get to the bottom of whether a crime was committed and by whom." The case has aroused passions in the media community, with The Newspaper Guild leading a two-minute moment of silence in news-. rooms Wednesday as well as protests around the nation. "I think it's a sad day for journalism, a sad day for freedom and a sad day for democracy," said Bill O'Meara, the guild's New York chapter secretary of the treasury. The case is seen as a key test of First Amendment press freedom, and many media groups have lined up behind the reporters. Thirty-one states and the District of Columbia have shield laws protecting reporters from having to identify their confidential sources. However, in this time of the Patriot Act and increasing tolerance of governmental intrusion, some see upholding the First Amendment more as hiding beliind it. "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" "It seems the only people who care are other journalists," said Jon Roosenraad, assistant dean of UF's College of Journalism and Communications. "It's very hard to get average citizens fired up about freedom of the press issues." Earlier in the day, co-defendant Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper said he would cooperate with the investigation into the leak of the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame because his source gave him permission. As for Miller, unless she decides to talk, she will be held tmtil the grand jury ends its work in October. The judge speculated that Miller's confinement might cause her source to give her a more specific waiver of confidentiality, as did Cooper's. The case continues the debate on the proper use of anonymous sources, highlighted recentlv by the retraction of a Newsweek magazine story on alleged abuses at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and the revelation of the Deep Throat source from the Watergate scandal. "I really don't like confidential sources," said Mike Foley, a master lecturer in the College of Journalism and Communications. "But I understand why they are used, and I understand that's the way the world works, especially in Washington." At issue is who in the administration leaked Plame's identity. Her name was disclosed in a column by Robert Novak days after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, impugned part of President Bush's justification for invading Iraq. Wilson was sent to Africa by the Bush administration to investigate an intelligence claim that Saddam Hussein may have purchased yellowcake uranium from Niger in the late 1990s for use in nuclear weapons. Wilson said he could not verify the claim and criticized the administration for manipulating the intelligence to "exaggerate the Iraqi threat." Disclosure of an undercover intelligence officer's identity can be a federal crime if prosecutors can show the leak was intentional and the person who released the information knew of the officer's secret status. Cooper spoke to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove after Wilson's public criticism of Bush and before Novak's colLunn ran, according to Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, who denies that Rove leaked Plame's identity to anyone. Cooper's story mentioning Plame's name appeared after Novak's column. Miller did some reporting, but never wrote a story. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

4, ALLIGATOR 9 THURSDAY, JULY 7,2005 STUDENT GOVERNMENT Senate may lower Phi ips student tickets to $10 Christian music event also in works By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@alligator.org Student Sen. Sundeep Rawal paid about $70 to see "Riverdance" in February, but with new Student Covernment-subsidized student tickets, he will be center-stage at "Cats" for $10 next Spring. Bill allocating $115,000 to subsidize student tickets at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts for the 2005-2006 season passed its first reading Tuesday in Student Senate. Ticket prices can be as high as $70. If the bill passes, student tickets throughout the auditorium, for any show, will cost $10. "Theoretically, we could buy out the orchestra pit," Sen. Jared Hernandez said. Though the bill has not yet passed, $10 tickets for the 2005-2006 season have been on sale since June 3. Phillips Center Director Michael Blactily said he is confident the subsidy, to be matched by the Phillips Center will come. He said 828 student tickets already have been sold for the upcoming season, expressing doubt that the tickets will last through Spring. "We're facing a problem that we all want," he told the Senate on Tuesday night. "The supply and demand issue is one that's working favorably toward your peers." The Phillips Center has sold reduced-price student tickets since 2001, but SG has only subsidized them since Feb. 15, when it granted $75,000 to fund the tickets through June 19. To avoid abuse of the program, a Gator 1 Card is required at purchase of and admission with the student tickets. In other performance-related grant news, SG may help fund "Engage," a Christian rock concert on campus. It is scheduled for Sept. 8, though the artist and venue are undetermined. Student Government Productions, SG's entertainment bureau, and Gator Christian Life are co-sponsoring the event. Because GCL is not an SG-funded organization, it has asked SG to cover its half of the $20,000 bill. If the Senate grants the request, SG's half will cover artist fees, and SGP's half will cover production costs. GCL is considering two popular national acts -Blindside and Skillet -to be supported by two local bands. Former GCL president Galen Wood said although contemporary Christian music is the sixth-largest genre in the nation, it is not represented at UF. UF has 20 Christian organizations and 2,700 involved students, Wood said. "Whty do we have classical concerts when this type of music outsells classical two-toone?" Wood said. However, Sen. Jainie Wathen expressed concern about the absence of SGP Chairman Joey Van de Bogart at Tuesday's meeting. "I don't feel comfortable if SGP says, 'You pay $10,000, we'll spot the other 10,' and then they don't show up to the meeting," she said. The bill requires one more reading and a vote to pass. By ALEJANDRA CANCINO Alligator Contributing Writer The United Church of Gainesville has approved in spirit a resolution endorsing same-sex marriage, which it has practiced for years. The United Church of Christ's General Synod, the church's rulemaking body, officially adopted the resolution Monday. The Gainesville congregation was first asked to approve it at least as early as April.

Larry Reimer, a United Church of Gainesville pastor, said the Gainesville congregation unanimously approved the resolution. "All people are children of God," he said. "Marriage is afforded to everyone else in the United States, including convicted felons and sex offenders. The only people in America that can't get married are gay people." -a p Monday's resoluLocai tion encourages the News church's 1.3 million members nationwide to adopt "wedding policies at their churches that do not discriminate against gay and lesbian couples." And it urges the congregations to support legislation to grant equalrights to all couples, regardless of their gender, and to work against laws banning gay marriage. "This is a very important and exciting step for the gay community and the people of faith who made this resolution," said Tamara Cohen, director of UF's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs. Cohen said because opponents of the resolution try to define "marriage" as a sanctified union between a man and a woman, it was important to use "marriage" instead of a word with alesser meaning. Reimer said some people left the Gainesville congregation in 1991, but since then there has been a positive response from church members, which now number about 600. The United Church of Christ was formed in 1957, and later became the first major Christian church to ordain an openly gay minister. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

THURSDAY, JULY 7,2005 E ALLIGATOR, 5 AROUND GANESVILLE Mosquito numbers controlled By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org In a city used to roller-coaster population swings, local health officials are happy to report controlled numbers of a particularly less-thanwelcome resident: the mosquito. "Typically, it's a peak time, but right now we're just not seeing it," Gainesville Mosquito Control entomologist Kellie Etherson said. Florida's June-to-October hurricane season, which often brings months of rainy weather, helps mosquitoes breed wherever standing water collects. However, this season has seen fewer mosquitoes, Etherson said. Gainesville Mosquito Control, which operates inside city limits, em phasizes controlling mosquito larvae before they hatch by draining standing water in low-lying areas and using mosquito-eating fish and bacteria. Etherson said Gainesville hasn't had to spray for mosquitoes this year because officials continuously monitor about 50 poorly draining "hot spots" throughout Gainesville where mosquitoes are likely to breed. "In past years, the spraying has become less frequent, and that's what we strive for," Etherson said. "We look at spraying as a failure." "Typically, it's a peak time, but right now we're just not seeing it." Kellie Etherson Gainesville entomologist Gainesville Mosquito Control's Web site states more than 200 mosquitoes can breed from one tablespoon of water. Adult mosquitoes have the ability to.transmit diseases such as West Nile Virus and encephalitis to animals and humans. Alachua County Health Department Environmental Health Director Paul Myers said four horses and 14 chickens have tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis in Alachua County this year, but no human cases have been reported. "While the risk is low, the risk is not zero," Myers said. Draining plant containers, bottles, gutters and anything else that can collect water is recommended to avoid breeding your own mosquitoes. To avoid mosquito bites, Etherson advised staying indoors at dawn and dusk, as well as wearing like-colored outfits. "Mosquitoes don't see color, but they see contrast," she said. Mosquitoes also are attracted to chemicals in sweat, as well as certain odors such as perfume and cologne. Mosquito repellents containing the chemical DEET also are recommended, as well as two new, more natural chemicals recently approved for use: Picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus. Mosquito populations surged in Gainesville last year, following flooding from hurricanes Frances and Jeanne where officials could not reach all the standing water sites. f Sk/asf Arc Angel Automotive When you're away from home and it seems like no one cares, Arc Angel will help with your automotive repairs COLLISION AND REPAIR Free towing with collision and mechanical repair Lockouts Roadside service Broken glass replacements 2208 NW 71st Plaue NAPA Certified Care Center 373.6890 HEALTH INSURANCk_.E "Students need Health Insurance.

He said the editor of the student section has not been appointed yet. Goldberg said SG would not spend additional money to implement the committee's marketing strategy. "We're paying for these papers," he said. Goldberg said SG's executive branch has about $58,000 allotted this year for advertising, but the whole of SG spends hundreds of thousands of dollars annually on promotion. Senate President Pro Tempore John Boyles said that even without a budget, the committee could use SG's Web site, UF's Wednesday Update e-mail service, the Student Activities Center and other methods to promote the Sun. Boyles said SG has created committees in the past to increase awareness of the USA Today and The New York Times readership programs. "I believe that the goal of the committee is to help to promote a service that SG is providing," he said. Boyles said SG is wary of spending money advertising what student Activity & Service fees fund. "We do our best to not use student money to get the word out about what their money is already doing," he said. U tnlversiy Avenue University of Shurds Give the Gift of Life.

6, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2005 We're back. Built better, stronger and faster than before, the Department of Darts & Laurels is eager to tackle the raging bull that is American life, circa 20115. IFunny, though, ss our eyes wander to the countryside of France and glue themselves to the spinning spokes of the 189 men competing in this year's Tour de France. How else should we spend Summer B, as our tests and papers pile up, than watching four hours of biking every day through the majestic French countryside? Oh, there are better ways. Silly tIs. We're a little wistful as we pedal into this week's edition of. Darts & Laur sA0 While we rev ourselves up for the main field, we'll stay on topic and hand a the-first-crash-is-the-deepest LAUREL to Lance Armstrong, everyone's favorite lung, brain, abdomen and testicular cancer survivor, for making a class gesture Wednesday. After, the former leader of the Tour de France, David Zabriskie, crashed and dropped out of first place Tuesday, Armstrong would not don the symbolic yellow jersey of the top rider until a Tour official made him -or else. Since Armstrong himself crashed several times while in contention, including twice during his victorious Tour run in 2003, he's no stranger to reversals of yellow-jersey fortune. Other riders have made similar moves in the past for their fallen competitors, but we salute Armstrong for giving ever more credibility to a sport already known for its politeness. Switching gears to a less polite frame of reference, we'll expel an of-course-we're-not-a-culture-of-fear DART to the many governmental agencies involved in Esuvee.com, a consumer awareness and safety" Web site that has aired a number of esoteric TV and movie-theater ads. Instead of spending the millions of dollars they're spending on the program to lobby for changes to the auto industry's practices, the groups behind Esuvee.com instead hold the SUV driver responsible in "teaching" them how to handle the dangerous equipment. A true case of government on our side. We've been called esoteric a few million times before, so we'll mount the highest horse in the land and stretch to hand a putting-away-childish-things LAUREL to the Student Senate for quietly ending the Gator Growl funding debate. Hear us out: Instead of passing an even more exorbitant bill in defiance of the earlier veto of $200,000 in Growl funding, the Senate chose to stick close to the $140,000 approved by the administration. The new plan also will reduce 15,000 student Growl tickets to $5 instead of giving the $140,000 away scot-free, which was one criticism of the earlier plan. Disagree with the so-called "bailout" or not, Student Government officials' willingness to end the madness shows strength. With the finish line in sight, we use the last gas in our tank to build a thank-you-for-seeing-that-two-wrongs-don't,make-a-right LAUREL for New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who could spend months behind bars for not divulging her sources to a federal prosecutor.

Fight looms in Court's musical chairs kay, Republicans, roll those saliva-drenched tongues back into your mouths and jam those eyes back into their sockets. This is the retirement of a distinguished Supreme Court justice, not a Tex Avery cartoon. Hyperbole aside, Republicans must be giddy over the opportunity tb replace Sandra Day O'Connor with a more conservative justice. In less than the amount of time it took President Bush to read her three-sentence retirement letter longer than one might expect -Republicans and Democrats were already in front of the cameras attempting to shape what inevitably will be a gruesome partisan battle. At one press conference, Democrats might as well have proclaimed their love for Sandra D. on top of Greased Lightnim Across town Bush flexed his thesaurus muscle by using "fair" three timestin a single sentence as he scolded the behavior of naughty Democrats ready to oppose more judicial nominees. Despite the O'Connor lovefest by Democrats, their call for a "mainstream" nominee in the mold of a centrist like O'Connor is exactly what America needs. Although American politics is perceived as highly partisan, the American electorate as a w'bole is moderate in nature. Although she denies it, Justice O'Connor was the decisive swing vote on many 5-4 decisions. Replacing her with a hardline conservative would be a direct attack on important rulings that upheld the right to privacy, separation of church and state, restrictions on campaign finance and war-time civil liberties. Bush could tip the scales of justice drastically by nominating a clone of justices Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas, but Aaron Blye even the slightest inclination of doing Bige's Eyes so would put Democrats in a Hulk-like yS yaIgaaerg rage. ablye@aligator.org If Democrats are smart, they'll prolong the appointment process. Not only would this force Bish to nominate a moremoderate candidate, but it could have devastating effects on the Republi'can Party. The party of fiscal conservatism already has taken a back seat to the right-wing social agenda. With millions of dollars at their disposal, right-wing interest groups continue to factionalize the GOP by demanding a justice who opposes gay marriage and abortion. Bush recently had to defend rumored nominee and close friend Alberto Gonzalez when right-wing interest groups attacked the Attorney General for his sympathy toward abortion rights. This could get very ugly. The president should surprise everyone by picking a moderate-conservative justice from the outset. We all know he loves to stick the good ol' presidential thumb in the eye of the Democratic Party. Otherwise, he will once again miss an opportunity to unite a bitterly divided America. Unfortunately, this seems unlikely considering his previous track record. Not to mention, the current list of likely nominees covers an ideological spectrum of conservative to. well, conservative.

That belief has been shaken in the last month in this university town. As if the Alligator were not enough to separate the students from the rest of us, the New York Timesowned Gainesville Sun was reported here to be working with the UF School of Journalism to create pages with news for area college students. Our students apparently have other things on their minds. And if they don't they soon will, courtesy of a New York Times concept. But that degree of separation pales by comparison with the the likely result of a reported intent of the New York Times to publish a newspaper targeted to a poor black community created by de jure/de facto segregation in East Gainesville. When I left Orlando, three weeklies and a newsletter targeted "news" to blacks, who generally are left out of positive news in Tbe Orlando Sentinel. But at least they were black-owned. Still the result was-to move the community toward racial separation: "voluntarily separate" but "equal." Such "specialization" in a university town dumbs down our common interests.

The THUR PSDEAY, J U LY 2005 ALLIGATOR www.aIIigator.org/avenue By JUNE CAPPIELLO fter the -recent hiatus of the nationally popular local band Hot Water Music, Gainesville held i t s breath about The Draft. They debuted Monday night as a new band with most of the same members from Hot Water Music, sans vocalist and guitarist Chuck Ragan. With the addition of Todd Rockhill, Gainesville's newest band consists of Chris Wollard, Jason Black and George Rebelo. When The Draft took the stage at Common Grounds July 4, it was apparent immediately that the band already has a following, thanks to Hot Water Music's previous success and the support of 240 or so audience members. "It's cool that they cane out "Delinitely to support a band that er ha didn't exany other first ist until a shows for bands few months I've been in.' ago," said Jason eBsak Neil Hughes, bassist a 20-year-old journalism major at UE The number of people who came to see the band for a show that wasn't advertised heavily impressed many people in the crowd. Some people even drove from Chicago to see the show, said Aaron Lay, a Common Grounds employee. It may have surprised some people in the crowd to hear lead singer and guitarist Wollard, who has played countless shows from coast to coast and overseas, admit to being nervouas after playing the first song. But then, the night was full of, surprises. During the set, Buddy Schaub and Derron Nuhfer of Less Than' Jake fame joined the band onstage, to play the trombone and saxophone for one song. "We only had one practice with those guys," Wollard said. And perhaps the ultimate Surprise came when Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio sang onstage with The Drat, along with Tim McIlrath, lead singer of Rise Against. "It was awesome. it's still kind of sinking in," said Black, the bassist, after the show. Rise Agaist's surpise set, lasted only tree songs, but with amii moshpit, some spilled beer and a mischievous audience member setting off a firecracker, it was the perfect precursor to the headliner's performance. McIlrath dedicated their last song, "Give It All," to the members of The Draft' whom hehas shared the stage with four times in the last eight years. Outside the venue and away from the excitement, Common Grounds provided free hamburgers and hotdogs to concert-goers before the final set, and the patio was filled with Converse and conversation, giving the show a relaxed, family barbecue atmosphere. The crowd readily accepted The Draft, and under the Christmas lights that hung around the venue, itseemedlikeChristmasinJulyfor the audience and band members a5l. One fan summed up the show: "I used to live here for five years. this was the culmination of what Gainesville's music scene has to offer," 24-year-old Erick Charles said. lErafteld %"cunds Jason Black, bassist for The Draft, plays at the band's first show Monday.

Through the first chapters, I tried imagining the scenes as they would look on a black-and-white television set, but Allende's colorful writing made this simplistic and sanitized perspective impossible. Allende's "Zorro" takes place in early 19th-century California, and a Native American warrior woman. Obviously, Allende thoroughly researched the period. She interweaves her characters' -lives with the lives of historical figures including Joseph Bonaparte (Napoleon's brother) and Jean Lafitte (a gentleman pirate of New Orleans), and hercharacters are present at many historical events (the restoration of Fernando VII to the Spanish throne). got his name, how he learned acrobatic tricks and why he wears a mask (it 3 hides his large protruding ears).

Despite being a character close stant nterke a forced attempt to be funny. The dialogue and actions of Zorro are predictable, and I must warn readers expecting exciting scenes of swashbuckling swordplay that they'll be disappointed. These scenes are scattered and short. I would have loved this book if it weren't for the narrator. Don't get me wrong, "Zorro" is a fun novel. I just think it had the potential to be so much more. core band networks, scores own Southeast tour B oyhood friends and brothers are banging out hardcore beats on their Southeast tour this summer. Starting Over, an Ocala band, consists of Joe Barnes, 21, and his brother Randy Barnes, 17, and high school friends Erik Nilsen, 18, and Chad Tauber, 18. Lead singer Greg Shields, 20, has been with the band for about three months. Their music will be embraced by fans of bands From First to Last and Senses Fail. Starting Over will be playing shows throughout Florida and will also be hitting Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. "We are doing a Southeast tour for eight days at the end of July. We are all pretty excited," Joe Barnes says. Barnes says he credits getting the shows for the tour by his perseverance in networking through the Internet. "I get on Myspace and send e-mails out to bands saying pretty much, 'If you scratch our backs, we'll scratch yours,"' Joe says. "You get ignored sometimes, but you just keep asking." Days on the road look to be full of fun for Starting Over. "We are the proud owners of a 1997 Chrysler Town & Amanda Country. It gets us where Seyfang we need to be and hasn't Playlist given us any problems;" theavenue@aligator.org Barnes says. He says their time on the road is generally boring, but they plan to break it up by promoting-the band. "Typically, we find whatever malls we can in the area of the show we have scheduled for that particular day and promote the heck out of the band," Barnes says. "I credit this method as being the reason for all the Myspace friends we have, as well as the countless amount of online streaming plays we receive daily." Don't knock these guys just because they are from Ocala. The city has more of a -music scene than you think. Some years it is really big, and some years it is really low, Barnes says.

10, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, JULY 7,2005 New ootb vieo grne wi ackl prdecesor very summer, as building anticipation haunts the minds of football fans across the country, some of us get our own team's opening kickoffs a little early. We get NCAA. We get Madden. These video-game replicas may be no replacement for watching a real pigskin, but the games are two of the most popular released on any system every year. This year's games promise the biggest improvements yet because Electronic Arts knows what it is talking about. When you remake a game 15 times, you get pretty good at it. "Madden 06". won't hit stores until Aug. 8, but the "NCAA Football 06" release date of July 11, and its slew of impressive new features, are right around the corner. This year, "NCAA Football 06" promises to include two or three impact players who, after a series of successes, can perform "gamebreaking" actions other players cannot. Originally, I worried this addition would be a repetition of last year's intimidation system, which was too easily abused and resulted in scared-defensive backs and automatic points. Gainers potentially could depend entirely on their game breakers, their three impact players, and earning a "game-breaking" moment -or an instant touchdown -in every series. But EA has foreseen this unrealistic plan. "Game-breaking" moments will become an occasional reward rather than a constant strategy. First off, they will be more like timely stiff arms or a key pass deflection than a miracle Hail Mary or an impossible interception. And second, you'll be lucky to get two a game. The new "Road to the Heisman" feature will let gainers generate their own high schooler, recruit him and work their own impact player four years in pursuit of the coveted trophy. UF's impact players are deservD t ingly Chris Leak, Chad Jackson and Earl Everett. Second only to the addition of impact playBrett ers to "NCAA Kelman Football 06" is on't Hate the Playa the inclusion heavenue@alligator.org of the "Hit Stick," which is old news from last year's Madden, and its new counterpart, the "Truck Stick." Now, as linebackers flick the joystick and feel the bones crunch beneath their thumbs, so too can beefy ruruing backs as they lower their shoulders and pursue the shortest distance to the end zone -a straight line. I think this is a much-needed addition, since a charging bruiser won't have to let percentages decide if he breaks the next tackle. Still, like that risky hit stick, using the truck stick constantly should have serious drawbacks. With impact players, "Road to the Heisman" and the truck stick all joining the game, this year's installment of NCAA football is something to get excited about. Maybe this is the year that this fan's favorite finally will outdo its older, professional and consistently better brother. Still, with adaptive AI, new franchise options and the ridiculously intricate "Superstar Mode," what "Madden 06" promises is equally intriguing. Honestly, I'm buying both. If aliens attacked the human race, took us hostage, killed us and then sprayed our blood all over the remains of the destruction, it would be apparent to almost anyone that it would suck. Director Steven Spielberg wanted to make this clear to moviegoers in his latest film, "War of the Worlds," and he definitely did -over and over and over again. The movie, based on H.G. Wells' 1898 novel about alien invasion, is an intense and thrilling sci-fi spectacle that fails to go any deeper than the novel, despite Spielberg's desperate attempt. Tom Cruise stars as divorced deadbeat dad Ray Ferrier, who seems to have do skills as a parent and no connection other than sharing the same blood with his children. When their mother and stepfather drop them off to spend the weekend with their THLE dad, all hell breaks loose -literally. Aliens inserted into the ground by freak lightning storms man massive tripod destruction machines planted on Earth before the human race existed. Of course, they immediately start to disintegrate humans one by one. Sounds crazy I know, but it's pretty cool. While I personally didn't ooh and aah during the annihilation sequences as much as I cringed and gripped onto the person next to me -one of my manly guy friends, thank goodness -audiences will leave the theater impressed at the elements of sound, action and special effects. Much like a bodybuilder with a less than huge southern region, "War of the Worlds" overcompensates with its special effects for its lousy dialogue, plot and even acting. Spielberg seemed to dramatize everything in the movie, pushing emotional Melissa .boundaries to the point Filipkowski where the actors are The Reel Life overacting. theavenue@alligator.org It's ironic actually, if you think about how the movie and all the Tom Cruise madness was overpublicized. The plot of the movie also drags on and is choppy at places. Most of the movie is Cruise and his two kids running away from the huge alien tripod killing machines, and after 15 minutes you'll get the point -aliens bad, humans good, characters must run away. While at first the movie is extremely intense and terrifying, how much death IDE and destruction can you see before you get used to it? Perhaps if Spielberg had created more meaningful emotional ties to characters, I might have felt a little sorrier for them. The worst aspect of the movie was Spielberg incorporating some political propaganda. Dakota Fanning, who plays Cruise's wide-eyed and constantly screaming daughter, fearfully asks her father if it is terrorists attacking them, and family members desperately look at walls and walls of missing ad fliers that are obviously a reference to Sept. 11, 2001. Overall, the movie is only good but mainly for its special effects and action sequences. Again, like bodybuilders: It's something good to look at, but only expect to be intrigued for about 15 minutes.

THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 11 M en strike back, critique women's fashion no-nos A nte up, ladies; it's time to admit that maybe we don't give guys enough credit. This week I truly was stunned to find that masked by a facade of beer guzzling, female ogling and sports watching, men actually may be deep thinkers. I understand that statement is rather shocking; I'm still befuddled myself. You see, the goal was to seek out the pet peeves of female fashion from the male perspective. It may seem a futile effort at-first, for when it comes to style, we ladies tend to hold the cards. However, it's only fair to deal the guys in, too. It was a good week. I bet the gym and the bars were the two havens of male bonding where I would have the highest success rate. And yes, I won that round. Upon asking the million-dollar question, of course there were the replies, "I like it when they wear nothing," and "It's not what girls are wearing, it's trying to get them out of it," and "those ugly ruffled mini skirts." You know, the ones you learn to expect. But, then there were the trump cards, the answers I didn't anticipate. Men were actually philosophizing and discussing the intangible qualities of style. Ladies, in fashion as in life the stakes are high -you must be weary of the consequences of your actions and always look out for No. 1. Brace yourselves; in taking this matter to the guys I found they were not full of No. 2. Here are their top five replies: 5. Overdressing -Mies Van der Rohe said it best: "Less is more." There is no need to parade around all day dressed like you're ready to take on the night scene. However, if you just haven't been to bed from the-evening before, go on rock star, you're all in. 4. Too much uniformity -How can you be eye-catching if you get lost in the shuffle? So unless you plan to take over the world with your army of clones, ladies please relieve your ruffled mini skirts of their negligible duties. 3. Dressing inappropriately for the season -Like a house of cards, this action is very prone to fault. You should know better than to wear those damn Uggs in the summer if you are going to whine about how hot you are, or wear tank tops in the winter if you're going to complain that you're cold. 2. Caring too much about what others think, especially women -I think they hit the nail on the head here. I admit that in the past I, too, have been guilty of this but since learned the error of my ways. It's so liberating not to care what* people think. Christine However, the opinions Steffens of others can mean the Fashion a Go-Go difference between looktheavenue@aligator.org ing fabulous and looking foolish. So use common sense, play your cards right and find value in the minds of those you trust. Finally, the royal flush of answers: 1. Lacking discretion in clothing choices and not dressing for your body type -Oh, where do I begin? Ladies, you and I know we come in all shapes and sizes. Just because we may be able to fit into a size 6 pair of jeans, that doesn't mean we should wear them in public. Maybe-a size 8 would be better? When it comes to showing skin, it is imperative to proceed with caution and think outside the box. Why bare a stomach paunch when you have a great pair of legs? What we don't realize is that we actually detract from ourselves when we reveal too much, just like a bad poker face. Emphasizing our assets and playing down our imperfections, enables us to put ourselves out there with confidence. We tell the world how we want to be seen instead of being the passive victims of overexposure, thus allowing the world to judge us. Let's call a spade a spade: The bestlooking woman is the one who feels comfortable in her skin, lets her personality shine through, is independent and celebrates her uniqueness. Not necessarily the one with the best clothes or the most rocking body. Ladies, I hope you fared well in this hand. If not, it was time to deal a new round anyway.

THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 21 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF Uf defensive lne coach 100ks to improve pass rush By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Staff Writer eesteban@alligator.org When Urban Meyer accepted the job as head coach at UF, he began to assemble his defensive staff with one thought in mind. Instill toughness, tenacity and discipline to an underachieving defensive line that allowed 8 out of 12 opponents to rush for more than 100 yards in 2004 while compiling just 23 sacks. Enter Greg Mattison. As the Gators' new defensive line coach and co-defensive coordinator, Mattison's attitude on the field screams of Big Ten Conference coaching experience. Before arriving at UF, Mattison coached at Michigan for four years and Notre Dame for seven. This spring, he worked relentlessly at implanting his philosophy in Gainesville. In 2005, the key to the Gators' defensive fiont will revolve around putting more pressure on the quarterback. During the spring Mattison circled that as the biggest area that needed to be worked on before UF's season opener against Wyoming on Sept. 3. "We have a lot of work to do on pass rush and that is one phase we will work extremely hard on this summer," Mattison said. "If someone were to have asked, 'What do you feel you haven't done good enough coaching this spring?' [I would have said] I feel like we didn't improve enough in the pass rush." UF returns all four starters up front, but both the defensive line and the defense as a whole will be anchored by the talented Matt Marriott / Alligator Staff Ray McDonald pursues Kentucky quarterback Shane Boyd during UF's 20-3 victory against the Wildcats on Sept. 25, 2004 in Gainesville. junior duo of defensive tackles Marcus est interior linemen in the nation, but his Thomas and Ray McDonald. inconsistent play led him to be singled out When playing to his full potential, by Meyer during the spring. McDonald is arguably one of the quick"McDonald's a guy where everybody says he has great potential, but he doesni.l go real hard all the time," Meyer said. "That's all I've heard about Ray and Marcus, but we are going to change that or they won't play." However, as spring drew to a close, both Mattison and Meyer began to rave about McDonald's work ethic -a possible sign of things to come. Thomas,.who sat out the spring with an ailing back, is back in the mix this summer and has shown glimpses in the past of having a great motor in reaching the quarterback. Staying healthy doesn't look to be a problem. Thomas started all 12 games in 2004, tying for the team lead in sacks with 4.5. Jeremy Mincey enters his senior year entrenched in the starting position at left defensive end. His 51 tackles last year led everyone on the line, but as a senior, he willbe looked upon for more of a leadership role on the field. The most interesting battle in 2005 will be at the right defensive end spot where Steven Harris and Derrick Harvey will duke it out for the starting spot. Both will see the field plenty and be in the rotation, but Harris' experience on both the inside and outside of the defensive line might give him teh early nod. "I told [Steven] .that whoever the starting four is, he is considered a starter and that putting him at nose guard this spring has really helped us," Mattison said. "I wanted him to play a position that he really hasn't played a lot of and he acted like he played it his whole life."

22, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2005 47ev an odrn i eeesca obte By JEREMY FOWLER December 1, 2003 With every breath on his black whistle decorated with bite marks, UF intramural sports referee Gilad Goldenholtz is selfassured and confident. The seasoned football official *ias covered some of the biggest Gators intramural games for the past three years, and not once has he remotely blown a game on one call, he said. Guarding the flagger -he'll accurately make that call every time. So while the officials from the UF-Florida State game re-defined "instant replay" after their miscalls, the 21-year-old is the nameplate for grandiose and dependable officiating. "I don't miss calls, ever," he said. "And the way those referees called that FSU game, I would have never blown it like that." Goldenholtz's last comment seems to reverberate with every Gator fan from Gainesville to Pensacola. Gator Nation feels shafted, run amuck, bamboozled and destroyed by the men in the white and black. They should. Sure, FSU officially lost one fumble Saturday against UF, but the officials from the Atlantic Coast Conference dropped the ball all game with at least three terrible calls on possible fumbles. That's why everyone with a coherent football sense feels they could have called a better game than the one displayed Saturday night, Goldenholtz included. Of course, nobody wants to Classic blame the referees for losing a game. UF players know that's usually the easy way out, like ordering pizza at 3 a.m. instead of making a chicken casserole. But head referee Jack Childress and his henchmen -ordered to call the game because they were from the visiting team's conference -possibly swung the game by 14 points because of touchdowns after fumble recoveries. When calls can determine the Tristan Maher/ Alligator Staff Florida State fans had plenty of reasons to celebrate after FSU defeated UF 38-34 in one of the most controversial games in team history. Questionable referee calls marred the final outcome. entire outlook of entirely too important of a game for both parties, there's something terribly wrong. Sports officials might as well start calling Tiger Woods for illegal grounding every time he uses a pitching wedge within 75 yards, or Kobe Bryant for a personal foul every time his shot is too pretty, or a decrepit old lady for roughing the shuffler every time she heckles her opponent in shuffle board. This just doesn't make sense. Offensive guard Shannon Snell was so outraged from the calls, he couldn't refrain from using four expletives in less than 6 minutes during a post-game interview. "It's bulls---," said Snell, usually an affable, cuddly bear who listens to U2 and Kid Rock. "They took five fumbles away from us that should have been ours. I have a newfound respect for [Southeastern Conference] officiating right now, and I thought they gave us some tough calls. But the ACC, you'd think they'd know what they were doing." I think it's safe to say if one -just one -of those calls swings in UF's favor Saturday, the Gators win. People can say hundreds of plays determine the outcome of a game, not just one or two or five. But the five fumbled plays by the referees Saturday overshadow most all others because many were the difference between a touchdown and an arrow to the heart, an extended lead and an 84 record, a Citrus Bowl and a free bowl of soup for consolation. Instead, Coach Ron Zook had to glance at the scoreboard at halftime -FSU 17, UF 6 -pondering how different the yellow-lighted numbers could have looked before three momentum-turning miscalls in the first half. "I don't know what the ACC officials were doing in our house," linebacker Channing Crowder said. Still hard to s wa//ow By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabranson@aligator.org You can try to find a Gators fan that has forgotten, the infamous 2003 Uf--FSU football game, now dubbed the Swindle in the Swamp, but you'd probably have better luck finding a Ron Zook fan in Gainesville. Since the advent of modem sports, fans have always pointed the finger at referees for seemingly ill-advised calls going against their favorite team. But after this hard-fought game, everyone felt cheated. "[The NCAA] needs to bring in officials from another conference, maybe Pac-10 or Big Ten, because this was definitely a biased game," former UF offensive lineman Shannon Snell said. "It was bull. [The officials] took the game away from us." But you didn't have to be a UF fan to raise your eyebrows at the officiating that always seemed to go FSU's way. Several Seminoles players admitted that the officiating was far from perfect, but from the FSU perspective it was still a solid Seminoles victory. "That's the way games go," FSU running back Leon Washington said. "Even if, and that's a big if, -the referees made a bad call, [Florida] had the game won. They scored [with 2:50 left] and were up by three." a In the end, ACC officials admitted the calls were inaccurate. "The ACC admits mistakes were made," Foley said. "It's not something I agree with whether it's the SEC or ACC, but that has nothing to do with this situation. I think people should be held accountable." In this classic column, Jeremy Fowler discovers that even an intramural referee could have called this game correctly. EZ Tennis In terms of Tennis. big stores make EZ Tennis look good.

Ao rts THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2005 Lee makes debut with Knicks By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer sabramnss -slligatnr.org 4With one pick left in the first round of last week's NBA Draft, David Lee was angry. His cell phone was silent and it didn't look like the New York' Knicks were calling him with any sort of that, "Hey, good news, we're drafting you," rhetoric. It turns out Lee had no reception in the bar where he was watching the Draft, so he relied on the TV for the most joyous news of his life Lee was heading to the Knicks. So much has gone through Lee's head in the past week, but when the former UF forward officially replaced the orange and blue jersey with New York's own variation of orange and blue on Wednesday, UF men's basketball's biggest success story mi recent years realized he had made it. "It's unbelievable," Lee said. "The New York Knicks are such a great franchise and the city is so wonderful. It was a really special feeling tonight, although you can't really call it a true game by any means. We're still wearing practice jerseys, the veterans aren't here, but this a building block." The Knicks lost their Las Vegas summer league opener to the Portland Trail Blazers 93-89, but the score was a mere footnote. After the Knicks suffered through a dismal 33-49 season this past year, Knicks president Isiah Thomas called for change. The change brought three fresh faces to the Big Apple, all first round draft picks. draft awks reoe rmtedat att Marriott /Alligator Staff Justaweekremovedfromthedraft, David Lee got an early taste of the pros on Wednesday, scoring nine SEE LEAGUE, PAGE 24 points and grabbing seven boards in his NBA summer league opener.

ALLIGATOR www.aIIigatorSports.org FOOTBALL Defensive prosE UF COACH URBAN MEYER CONTINUES TO RECEIVE VERBAL COMMITMENTS FOR 20016. By BLAKE BONSACK Alligator Writer The UF football team continues to stock up for the future after receiving a verbal commitment from Bradenton defensive line prospect Terron Sanders. Sanders, a 6-foot-2, 298-pound nose guard out of Southeast High, will enter his final high school season this fall after being named 2nd team All-State as a junior. For Sanders, getting an education was a priority in making his decision. "The academic level," said Sanders, when asked why he wants to play for UF beginning in 2006. "The University of Florida is one of the top academic programs in the nation and that's really high on my part." Sanders also said his personal relationship with Urban Meyer and his coaching staff was an important factor. "The other big thing was Urban Meyer and the pressure on him to win," Sanders said. "It meant a lot to me that he had the trust in me to offer a scholarship." Sanders attended summer football camp last month and impressed the coaching staff with his strength, technique and tremendous first-step quickness. Sanders, along with current 2006 UF commit Corey Hobbs, could fill the need for powerful, run-stuffing defensive linemen to compliment the defense's agg? ssive style. After failing to sign any defensive lineman from the high school class of 2005, the need has become even more crucial. Look for the Gators to sign two to three more defensive linemen from the high school class of 2006. With juniors Marcus Thomas, Ray McDonald, Joe Cohen, Steven Harris and senior Jeremy Mincey nearing graduation, the 2006 class could see playing time early on. Although verbal commitments are non-binding and Sanders could sign with a different school come national signing day on Feb. 1, he said that he has no intention of continuing to look at other schools.

24, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2005 Lee to face former Gator LEAGUE from page 23 al ohree players saw ample time on the court Wednesday. Lee finished with nine points and seven rebounds in 21 minutes, shooting 2-of-6 from the field and recording two assists. Channing Frye, the 8th pick in the draft from Arizona, pjiyed 29 minutes, finishing with 16 points. The other first rounder on New Yobrk's roster, 5-foot-9 guard Nate Robinson who was acquired in a trade from the Phoenix Suns, finished with 20 points and five assists. Former Gators center Brent Wright also played for New York and showed promise, finishing with eight points and shooting 4-for-5 from the field. If Lee hopes to continue playing 21 minutes a game when the scores count, he may have to adjust to a new game plan. After playing center and power forward at UF Lee played small forward on Wednesday. While no one doubts Lee's athletism, it's a drastic change for the 6-foot-9 big man. "They don't know what I can do at [power forward]," Lee said. "There's quite a few big guys in this sumrner league, but I'll be playing more [power forward] eventually "Everything went really well and the team is really happy with me. The biggest thing was just getting that first exhibition game under my belt." Former Gators forward Christian Drejer also made his summer league debut on Wednesday, scoring six points on 2-of-7 shooting in 31 minutes. Drejer's Nets will face Lee's Knicks on Monday. UF still needs more linemen RECRUITING, from page 23 However, he would still like to take an official visit to Gainesville or go to a football game this fall. "I'd probably like to go to the FSU-UF game," Sanders said. "I've never been to a UF came so I think it would be a great experience." Sanders' commitment comes as a great relief while he begins to prepare for his senior season in high school. It also marks the beginning of his time as a member of his favorite team as a child. "I bleed orange and blue," Sanders said. "I've been a Gator all my life." APP, from page 23 It's funny where 7.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per collegiate game will get you in the big leagues. But 5.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game is just plain hysterical. Those are the numbers the Danish prodigy put up as a bench player with FC. It's no shock Barcelona 'declined to extend .Drejer's contract, and he now faces a long road to match his former friend's nearly $1 million per year deal. Just don't expect Lee to waste any of his earnings at the card table with an old buddy. "I have a lot of pride for Gainesville and [UF]," Lee said Wednesday. "Even guys like Matt Walsh and Roberson paid their dues and did things the right way. "What [Drejer] did hurt my feelings a little bit, and it was tough seeing him there [Wednesday]."
