UF students speak out on London bombings


By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Staff Writer
eyehle@alligator.org

LONDON UF junior Jessica Daugherty
sat in a hot classroom Thursday morning,
sweating over a business law exam, when she
heard a loud bang outside the open window.
"It sounded like bubble wrap, you know,
when you can't stop
International popping it," she said.
News "But it actually was a
bus blowing up."
Two blocks from
Daugherty's school, one of this city's famous
double-decker buses exploded with a full load
of passengers, leaving the red metal frame
looking like an opened can of tuna.
That morning, three other bombs deto-
nated at various places along the London


Underground. All told, the attacks injured
hundreds and killed at least 50.
But four days after the attacks, London
is almost back to normal. The Underground
trains and public buses continued most of
their routes Friday, less than 24 hours after
the attacks.
Trains continue to run past the closed
King's Cross station, where a nearby explo-
sion killed at least 21 people. The eerie pause
at the empty station is one of a few hints at the
recent tragedy.
"They just bounced back," Daugherty said.
"The devastation was horrible, but they just
immediately swooped in and cleaned it up
and did it really calmly."
About 40 students have been studying
since May at Huron University as part of a co-
operative effort with UF's business school, and
many have slipped back into their normal rou-


"It sounded like bubble wrap, you
know, when you can't stop pop-
ping it. But it actually was a bus

tine. Although all were shocked at the attacks,
some said their fear quickly diminished.
"Surprisingly, I don't think any of us were
afraid," UF junior Matt Flagler said. "I think a
lot of us were angry and wanted to tell our par-
ents we were OK, but none of us were fearful."
The stoicism of Londoners throughout the
attacks helped keep fear at bay, Daugherty
said.
"They (Londoners) weren't panicked at


all," she said. "I sort of felt like a novice. I felt
like I could handle it."
Not all students took the attacks with the
same calmness. At a dorm a few blocks from
Huron, some New York University students
felt more stricken with panic. Students sat in
the lounge glued to the screen, while officials
strongly encouraged everyone to stay inside.
Those with first-hand memories of Sept. 11,
2001, immediately expected the worst.
"I was really nervous. My heart was
pounding," NYU student Maria Verbanac
said. "It reminded me of 9/11. I didn't know
how big of an attack it was."
One week before the Twin Towers fell,
Verbanac's father was moved from his office
there to a building across the street. Verbanac
was unaware of the move, and when news hit
her high school, she panicked.

* A MEMBER DETAILED
THE PROCESS TO POLICE.

By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org

UF's Kappa Alpha Fraternity
chapter will be under scrutiny
this Fall after one of its newly in-
ducted members shared details
of the organization's hazing pro-
cedures with University Police.
William Travis Page, 22, was
questioned after his involvement
in a March 18 hazing incident
when new members were or-
dered to steal signs from local
businesses.
Page discussed details of
the organization's hazing ritual
associated with the induction
process of new members. It in-
cluded physical training, such as
sit-ups, running and push-ups as
a form of punishment, as well as
cleaning the houses of fraternity
members and allowing chapter
members to paddle newly in-
ducted members with paddles
they were instructed to buy.
Page told police physical train-
ing occurred when new members


didn't complete an assigned task
or didn't know the names of cur-
rent Kappa Alpha members listed
in a "black book."
The training, which took place
on Flavet Field, involved ap-
proximately an hour and a half
of exercise when no liquids were
provided, and some new mem-
bers, including Page, vomited.
Page said he also was as-
signed three nights a week to
drive members of the fraternity
who had been drinking to and
from various locations.
Kappa Alpha President Dan
Boda said his chapter's hazing rit-
uals aren't what they once were.
"The momentum of hazing
in KA has been slowed down in
the past couple years," he said.
"This incident will put a firm
stop to it."
UPD reports detailing Page's
allegations have been -handed
to Student Judicial Affairs, and
a hearing with Kappa Alpha is
being scheduled.
The organization is on in-
terim suspension prohibiting
Kappa Alpha from taking part
in any chapter activities on or off
campus, and the chapter house is
closed until the hearing.

CAMPUS
Hunger banquet to be held
Wednesday
The number of UF students
who participate in community
service has grown so much in
the last few years that the Office
of Community Service has ex-
panded.
The Center for Leadership
and Service, created at- the
end of April, will sponsor its
first event under its new name
Wednesday.
Recipe for Social Change, a
hunger banquet to be held in
the basement of Broward Hall
at 6:30 p.m., aims to increase
awareness of poverty locally
and nationally.
The suggested cost for
admission is one can of non-
perishable food, which will
be donated to local pantries to
help feed what the center esti-
mates to be 1,400 homeless in
Gainesville.
Colette Taylor, the associ-
ate director of the center, said
there has been a,
huge increase in
students involved
i in service in the last
few years.
"They've be-
Taylor come interested in
assoiate changing the world
as individuals," she
said.
According to the center's an-
nual reports, UF students spent
269,275 hours doing community
service last year, compared to
195,530 hours in 2001.
Vanessa Frisby, a 20-year-old
business major at UF who is
organizing the hunger banquet,
said Alachua County's pov-
erty rate is one of the highest in
Florida.
The national average for
people living below the pov-
erty line is about 12 percent of
the population, but Alachua
County's poverty rate is more
than twice that, at between 24
and 26 percent.
"It's unsettling to see the
concentrated wealth around
campus," Frisby said.
The sharp contrast between
East and West Gainesville is also
striking, between houses worth
millions and decaying shacks,
she said.
Frisby said the event is
meant to raise awareness about
poverty and hopefully inspire
some people to act.
The center expects about 100
to 150 people to attend, and ev-
eryone is invited.
Taylor said students want to
help out in their -community,
and they enjoy seeing the im-

Firemen subdue stove in
area apartment complex
Residents on the first floor
of College Manor Apartments
were evacuated Friday eve-
ning because of an oven fire.
No one was reported in-
jured, and the fire only caused
minimal damage to the one-
bedroom apartment at the
complex, located at 1216 SW
Second Ave, Gainesville Fire
Rescue spokeswoman Jodi
Smith said.
Although only the oven
was on fire, a dense cloud
of smoke "too thick to see
through" permeated the
apartment, according to GFR.
Neighbors said the fire
alarm did not go off and that
they learned about the fire
only after firefighters knocked-
on their doors and asked them
to evacuate the building.

Beloved UF alumnus, former historian dead at 86


Samuel Proctor, one of UF's distinguished alumni, died
Sunday, closing the book on some of UF's history.
Proctor died in the early morning hours Sunday, after a long
and mysterious illness. He was 86.
Proctor was UF's first official historian and archivist and the
man who established UF's prolific Oral History Program.
"It is one of the luckiest of circumstances for me that I got to
know Sam," UF President Bernie Machen said.
Machen presented Proctor with an honorary Doctorate of


Public Service last summer to recognize his contributions to the
UF community.
Proctor received a bachelor's degree in 1941, master's in
1942 and doctorate in 1958, all from UP.
The Oral History Program, which he started in 1967 and
is now named for him, was designed to preserve eyewitness
accounts of life in Florida and the South. The collection, which
has more than 3,900 interviews, is. one of the largest in the na-
tion.


Proctor retired from UF in June 1996 after teaching for 50
years. In that time he shared his vast knowledge of history with
many students, including former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham. \
He also published a history of UF called "Gator History: A
Pictorial History of the University of Florida" in 1986. It was
Proctor's research that determined UF's roots date to 1853.
Proctor is survived by his wife of 56 years, Bessie, two sons
and two granddaughters.

Natives' reaction brings sense of calm to American students seeking comfort


LONDON, from page 1

All of that emotion came back
Thursday.
"I think because 9/11 hit so close
to home, it felt more real," she said.
"I think that that made me more
afraid when this happened."
Although Verbanac contem-
plated leaving London at first, she
decided to stay after seeing the
city recover so quickly. But she will
never take the Underground trains
again.
"I d to do what I would nor-
mally do, but at the same time I'm
more cautious," she said.
Some UF students, however,
boarded a train as soon as possible.
And with class miles away from
their apartments, all of them will
have to enter the tunnels soon.
"I wanted to ride the tube the next
day just to assure myself that every-
thing would be OK," Flagler said.
That same reason drove both
NYU and UF students to the pubs
Thursday evening. After a day of
hiding in dorms and classrooms,
many wanted to see how the British
were handling the tragedy.
The pubs were packed with
patrons.
Many people sat around drink-
ing pints of beer, acting as if nothing
had happened, Flagler said.
"I think it's a good thing that life
goes on, and we can't let terrorism


change our way of life," he said. "It
was a stressful day and what better.
thing than to get a pint."
The day was more stressful for
some UF students than for others.
With an exam at 9 a.m., many stu-
dents took the Underground trains
to class right around the time three
bombs exploded in the tunnels.
Katie Gorda, a finance junior,
said she was trapped on a train
for an hour. Down the same track,
two trains received the worst of
the explosions. Officials are still
recovering trapped bodies from the
wreckage.
Gorda said she was completely
unaware of the explosions a few
trains ahead of her.
"They told us that there was a
power glitch so I had no idea that
it was a bomb," she wrote in an
e-mail.
Vara Bloom, a 21-year-old fi-
nance senior, was also on the train to
class. When her train was delayed,
officials told passengers that there
was a fire further down the track.
Even when hundreds of pas-
sengers were forced to walk up the
emergency stairs, Bloom said she
never questioned the circumstances..
"We were so rushed to get to our
test that we weren't even thinking
about it," she said.
The students heard the bus ex-
plosion in the middle of their exam,
but many completed their work.
The frequency of terrorist attacks

"It's definitely going to make us
almost expect it and accept it and


learn how to deal with it," she said.

Hub may offer 24-hour cafe


By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org
When the Hub is resurrected fully in May
2006, it could include a 24-hour Internet caf6.
Partially closed since the UF bookstore
moved to the Reitz Union, the Hub, located at
Stadium Road and Buckman Drive, will cost
$11.5 million to renovate.
Its first floor will consist of a 10,000 square-
foot Internet cafe and a new home for the
International Center, now located in Grinter
Hall. The Academic Technology Center, which
includes the UF Computing Help Desk, also
will move its offices from the Computer
Sciences and Engineering building to the Hub
but keep existing business hours.
Though UF is financing the renovation,
Interim Associate Provost for Information
Technology Marc.Hoit said university officials
have agreed to keep the Internet caf6 open 24
hours only if Student Government will pay to
staff it beyond normal UF Computing Help
Desk hours.
Late-night operation is expected to require
two staffers: a computer specialist and a student
employee. The funding of their wages will re-
quire a vote in the Student Senate.


Student Sen. Jason Lutin, chairman of the
24-Hour Study Committee, said SG officials and
students have shown consistent interest in a late-
night study center. A committee like his has been
formed in SG every year for five years, he said.
"Now, we're just a couple signa-
tures away from having a 24-hour
study center."
Jason Lutin
24-Hour Study Committee chairman

Lutin said in the past he has gotten "the run-
around" from UF administrators.
"Now," he said, "we're just. a couple signa-
tures away from having a 24-hour study center."
In addition to a large open area with a com-
puter lab, laser printers and the UF Computing
Help Desk, the Internet caf6 will include two
video-conference rooms, four or five small
study rooms, a video-editing area with editing
software and high-end graphics capability, and
either a Starbucks or a Java City, Hoit said.
SG officials plan to keep the area open 24
hours a day, seven days a week at first, Lutin
said, adding that the plan may change with how
often and when students use the facility.

UF RESEARCH

Hurricane-resistant house stands up to Dennis


By DOUGLAS BONEPARTH
Alligator Contributing Writer

Hurricane Dennis may have huffed and
puffed, but it could not blow this house down.
Near the Escambia County extension in
Pensacola stands a structure simply dubbed
the "hurricane house," designed to withstand
winds in excess of 140 miles per hour.
The house, officially known as the Escambia
Windstorm Damage Mitigation, Training and
Demonstration Center, is a UF project to test if
homes cant be made more hurricane-resistant.
"Our hurricane house demonstrates that
it is possible to build a home that will come
through hurricanes such as Dennis and
Ivan with little or no damage," said Lamar
Christenberry, Escambia County extension
director with UF's Institute of Food and
Agricultural Sciences, in a press release. .
He and his team have been studying how
materials, products and construction methods


that meet or exceed state standards can be used
in new homes or to retrofit existing structures.
"I don't think Dennis challenged it as
much as we had hoped," he said. "It wasn't
a Category 3 or 4, but we did get a good wind
test of about 100 mph."
In the press release, Pierce Jones, director of
the UF/IFAS Florida Energy Extension Service
said new building codes, which went in to ef-
fect March 2002, are stricter than before but not
as strict as those in Miami-Dade and Broward
counties.
Jones said because no Florida home is
impervious to hurricane damage, the codes
should become stricter statewide eventually.
The hurricane house near Pensacola is just
one of three hurricane houses around the state.
One house is located in Fort Pierce, another in
St. Augustine and a fourth will be complete in
August 2005 in Fort Lauderdale.
To pay for the project, the Florida
Department of Financial Services provided


$2.3 million in funding, while UF's Shimberg
Center for Affordable Housing in the College
of Design, Construction and Planning over-
looked the design and construction.
"Our hurricane house demon-
strates that it is possible to build a
home that will come through hur-
ricanes such as Dennis and Ivan
with little or no damage."
Lamar Christenberry
Escambia County IFAS extension director


Homeowners interested in the buildings
can visit the houses in the respective locations
to see the methods used in constructing hur-
ricane-safe homes.
Visitors will be able to see a variety of win-
dow shutters, impact-resistant doors, a steel


"safe room," a garage door capable of with-
standing 150 mph winds and exposed sections
of interior walls.
Jones said the walls' building method
is more expensive than regular concrete or
wood-frame construction but is desirable
where wind speeds are higher and storm-
surge problems are imminent.
"The insulated Styrofoam-formed concrete
walls add about 10 to 15 percent to cost, but
there is a pay back in energy in a few years,"
Christenberry said.
Hurricane Dennis, a fast-moving Category
3 hurricane.when it came ashore with 120 mph
winds, was smaller than Ivan and weaker than
when it churned through the Gulf of Mexico as
a potentially catastrophic Category 4 storm.
Dennis became the fifth hurricane to strike
Florida in fewer than 11 months, causing an
estimated $1 billion to $2.5 billion in insured
damage in the United States.

UF technology helps Discovery's return to flight


* THE SHUTTLE IS EXPECTED
TO FLY AGAIN WEDNESDAY.

By RESHELLE SMITI.
Alligator Contributing Writer

Across from the stadium and
next to the journalism building in
a first-floor room no bigger than a
bathroom sit the hopes of NASA.
Technology developed in this
tiny UF lab will help ensure the
safety of the space shuttle Discovery,
scheduled to lift-off Wednesday.
Discovery marks the first shuttle
mission in more than two years'
since the Columbia tragedy of.,
February 2003.
Engineering professor Ed Dugan,
along with retired professor Alan
Jacobs and doctoral student Daniel
Shedlock, developed a way to scan


the foam on the external fuel tank of
the space shuttle for possible defects.
In the Columbia disaster, experts
believe a briefcase-size piece of foam
broke off the external fuel tank and
damaged tiles on the left wing,
Shedlock said.
While it's impossible to know
for certain whether or not the scan-
ning technique developed by the
UF team could have prevented the
disaster, NASA is now able to look
inside the foam for any cracks or
holes that could make the foam
more susceptible to breaking off.
NASA and Lockheed Martin,
the company that assembled the
fuel tank, attempted many different
scanning methods to get images of
the foam- core, including ultrasound
and electromagnetic scanning,
Dugan said.
Because of the low density of the

foam, however, each method failed
to create a proper image.
Lockheed came to UF after hear-
ing about the work Dugan and
Jacobs were doing with landmine
detection, Dugan said. They wanted
to know if UF's method could be ap-
plied to foam scanning.
Dugan developed a type of back-
scatter radiography for Lockheed
that creates an image by exposing
X-rays to an object
UF and collecting the
Research electromagnetic
waves that bounce
back, or "scatter," from that object.
Only about 10 percent of all rays are
scattered back, which makes back-
scatter radiography very difficult to
use, Dugan said.
Dugan's scanner is composed
of four cylindrical detectors sur-
rounding a cylindrical yellow X-ray


generator. Each detector creates a
separate image, but the images also
can be combined to create one im-
age, Dugan said.
The scanner uses the same X-rays
used in a doctor's office. However, in
medical X-rays, the rays pass through
the body of a patient to register an
image on a screen behind them.
Because it's not always possible to
place a screen behind an object, the
backscatter method is beneficial.
UF's scanner can be adjusted to
select the best bounced-back X-rays,
resulting in a black-and-white image
dearer than any medical X-ray.
"If you told me two years ago we
could get images like that, I wouldn't
have believed it," Dugan said. :
In the image of a test foam piece
sent to the UF lab, debris purposely
put into the foam to test the technol-
ogy, including a bolt and a pencil,

are clearly visible. A shadowy white
area about the size of a silver dollar
can also be observed.
That, Shedlock said, is what
NASA and Lockheed are looking
for. A small, shadowy area indicates
a defect in the foam, and a defect
makes it easier for the foam to break
off. If a similar defect was detected
in the fuel-tank foam, Lockheed
technicians would cut the piece out
and start the foam application pro-
cess over again.
All of the foam on the external
tank is not scanned because most of
it is applied by a machine, Shedlock
said. But there are areas where a ma-
chine can't do the job, and the foam
is applied by hand, layer by layer.
These are the areas most susceptible
to foam flaws and the ones scanned
by UF technology.

Olympic struggle

Tragedies should cause

cities to rethink Games
As we stop to remember the 50-plus who lost their lives
by terrorists' bombs in London last week, we should not
forget that the city was cleared to host its first Olympic
games in six decades the day before.
Nor should we forget the plight of New Yorkers, whose
enthusiasm for their city's unsuccessful 2012 Olympic bid was
indicative of their eagerness to rebuild ever since they, too, un-
derwent unspeakable tragedy.
London, New York, Paris, Moscow, Madrid all major cit-
ies with hopes of hosting the Olympics, and all recent victims
of terrorism.
An Athens police station was bombed three months before
last year's Summer Games. In 2000, a cooperative effort be-
tween Australia and New Zealand police foiled a bombing of
a nuclear reactor in the suburbs of Sydney, planned to go down
while the Games resided down under.
And everyone should remember an early Saturday morning
in July 1996, when a pipe bomb shattered Atlanta's brand-new
Centennial Park and the world's dreams of a 'safe' Olympics.
As major cities become more cosmopolitan, and therefore
more attractive to International Olympic Committee officials
seeking prestige for their signature events, they will also be-
come clearer targets for terrorists and other ne'er-do-wells.
Conclusion: The Olympics inadvertently carries with it an
expectation of violence; a culture, if you will.
Maybe it was a good thing New York was shut out.
Of course, "faster, higher, stronger" applies just as much to
those groups wishing to destroy political cooperation as it does
to those working together.
The next Olympic Summer Games are set for Beijing in 2008.
Almost $1 billion is devoted to security to protect the billions
organizers there will spend on facilities and event supplies.
Lessons exist out there for major cities wishing to bid on fu-
ture Games. The exorbitance of plans submitted by the finalists
for the 2012 Games, and thus the expense of protecting them
and the people involved in them, must lead the world to em-
brace a "back-to-basics" strategy for 2016.
The side effect of dialing down the scope of the event will be
to open up sports of all nations to areas that normally wouldn't
see world-class competition which was one of the original
driving principles of the IOC.
The lessons are waiting to be learnt.


No hurricane for Charley


The recent debacle in-
volving quasi-alumnus
and former Florida
Governor Charley Johns has
not escaped us.
But we wonder how a
three-sentence description of
Johns, who's been dead for 15
years, in UF's alumni maga-
zine becomes a topic worthy
of worldwide derision.
UF Today Magazine
named Johns one of 81 "stand-
out alumni," based on his two
months at the university and
then short stint as governor.
For many reasons, his in-
clusion was a mistake.
The committee Johns
chaired was responsible for
the cruel torturing of gays,
blacks, and Jews at UE We
should remind ourselves of


this cruelty at every step as
the university moves forward
through a new century.
However, the pages of
a PR magazine are not the
right places to wage the war
avenging those shamed by
the Johns Committee, nor
should the magazine be the
proper venue to reintroduce
the group's misdeeds.
-Indeed, as some have rec-
ommended, we too believe
that such a display should be
made on a grander scale.
Let's not blame a fluff
magazine for an honest
mistake. It's the responsibil-
ity of those who know the
details and have the ability
to do something powerful
with that knowledge to pay
it forward.

Terrorist attacks transcend Underground


n today's world, coping with the inevitability of terror-
ism has become almost as routine as waking up and
turning on the television.
As I proceeded to do so. Thursday morning, what un-
folded before my eyes is something I refuse to accept as
customary.
The horrific scenes from London roused emotions
reminiscent of those during the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
The attacks on England's capital, more than 3,000 miles
away, hit surprisingly close to home.
On July 7, the sights and sounds of London were far
too familiar. Smoke billowed from the burning rubble as
civilians ran through the streets, some stopping to tend to
the bloodied and wounded.
A coordinated bombing had decimated three
Underground trains and a double-decker bus. Scotland Yard
Commissioner Ian Blair said the attacks had "all the hall-
marks of al-Qaeda." I couldn't help but sympathize with the
millions of people questioning the survival of a loved one.
It was the same question that haunted me for hours on end
after the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11. All attempts
to make contact with either my mother or grandmother, both
of whom were in New York City, initially failed.
In addition, I couldn't reach any of my aunts, uncles
and cousins who I hoped had remained in the suburbs on
that fateful morning.
As the hours passed and phone lines opened, my
family's safety was assured one person at a time, but not
without a close call.
One of my cousins was eating breakfast on the ground
floor of the World Trade Center when the first plane hit.
Luckily, he escaped unharmed.
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for so many other
families affected by 9/11 and now this attack as well. More


Aaron Blye than 50 people were killed in London
Blye's Eyes and about 700 were injured. The re-
ablye@alligator.org mains are so mangled and difficult to
retrieve that authorities have yet to
identify a single person as the death
toll continues to rise.
The lives of the fallen have been relegated to that of a
statistic. We must do more to prevent this from happening
within our own country.
Although railway security in New York City was in-
creased temporarily Thursday, it was a departure from
business as usual.
Under normal circumstances, boarding a train with a
backpack of explosives like those used in London would
be as easy as walking down a public street.
Why, then, did the SenateAppropriations Subcommittee
on Homeland Security recently grant $50 million less than
last year's $150 million for transit and rail security?
Since the tragic events of 9/11, the federal government
has spent $18 billion on aviation security, but only $250
million for public-transportation security.
Thankfully, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-New York) re-
cently proposed an amendment to the Homeland Security
Appropriations bill that would double the $100 million
proposed for both mass transit and rail security.
The amendment also includes a provision that would
require the Department of Homeland Security to allocate
$20 million from its science budget to develop explosive
detectors for mass-transit stations, rail cars and buses.
As American citizens step from the station platforms
onto unprotected trains, we can only hope that Schumer's
amendment is voted into law.

'Free trade' not to be confused with 'fair'


In this week's Entertainment Weekly, Chris Martin of
Coldplay poses wearirfg a shirt that exhorts "Fair Trade."
Unfortunately, many similarly uneducated artists and
dilettantes advocate such trade as well.
Fair trade might seem fair to the millionaire farm tycoons
who paid to transport thousands of well-meaning protesters
to WTO and G8 protests in order to protect their subsidies
- but it hardly can be so for the billions around the world
who stand to gain from the liberating, yet invisible hand of
free trade.
Since fair and free trade come in myriad forms, it might
be helpful to define my terms: Fair trade seeks to alleviate
poverty as a matter of social justice by using "fair pricing"
for goods and services, but it may also involve transparency,
environmental protection and tariffs.
I am reminded of fair trade's most eloquent speaker,
Dennis Kucinich, during his visit to UF last year, who warned
the masses that fear was killing this country thanks to the
Bush administration. He then proceeded to explain to us how
scary free trade is and how fearful we should be of business.
Well, no one ever accused fair traders of being cogent.
As Antony Flew pointed out, social justice itself isn't de-
fined by its greatest advocates! But hey, it's sure fun to say,
right?
As with fair trade, free trade policies come in all shapes
and sizes. Free trade usually seeks the elimination of virtually
all trade barriers such as tariffs, as well as the free and unre-
stricted flow of labor and capital. It also calls for striking taxes,
subsidies and regulations on trade.
Through this anarchy of resources and people, living
standards rise across the board, in part due to comparative
advantage writ large. Also, people have the freedom to trade
as they please. Free traders tend to minimize the importance
of bargaining power as needless hand-wringing.


Christian Waugh The numbers, the equations and
The Final Frontier the stark realities all seem to support
cwaugh@alligator.org the efficacy of trade as a tool for good
in the world.
Looking at the nonpareil examples
of fair trade such as Cultural Revolution China, the archaic
Soviet Union or modern day Cuba and North Korea, we see
the impotence of fair trade more vividly than any argument
that can be made with words.
By contrast, looking at Australia, New Zealand, Hong
Kong and the United States might move you to tears.
Of course, this comparison between fair and free trade is
an exercise in generalities. The reality is that even fair trade
has its place.
For example, even militant and religious free traders, like
myself, do not condone slave labor in any means of produc-
tion, nor for the gains of the few at the expense of the many,
nor for propping up predatory despots.
In fact, advocates of free trade believe it is only a few short
steps from the restrictions and regulations of fair trade to such
tyranny,whether it is one of good or bad intentions.
Economist Hernando de Soto similarly says that for coun-
tries without property rights, free trade will only serve the
predators. Once these are in place, however, the sky is the
limit.
Accordingly, we recently agreed to the Central American
Free Trade Agreement and with hope, we will make agree-
ments with the Middle East and China before long.
These policy achievements will continue our 21st century
civilization's unmatched and unending advances in science,
technology and art, for such progress occurs because of trade
and freedom, not in spite of it.

Letter to the Editor
Libraries closed too much in Summer
Editor: I would like someone in
charge to explain to me why the UF li-
braries, which are used more frequently
by graduate students than by anyone
else, are closed the weekend before
the July 4 holiday, were only open lim-
ited hours during the "break" between
Summer A and Summer B and will be
closed virtually every weekend during
the month of August.
Campus "breaks" are solely utilized
by undergraduates aftd staff there
is no such thing as a "holiday" or "se-
mester break" for graduate students,
and we should have adequate access
to resources during these times, as they
are not government-sanctioned holidays
and the rest of America is still open for
business.
Research conducted by faculty and
graduate students (which, incidentally,
is largely made possible by access to
library resources) brings in an over-
whelming amount of money to UF
($450 million in 2004), and our work
should not be compromised or placed
on the back burner.
I What the hell why don't we just
declare every day a UF holiday?

UF opens international-studies office in Beijing


* MORE THAN 400 CHINESE STU-
DENTS COME TO UF EVERY YEAR.
By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF students will have a new study abroad
option with the establishment of the UF Center
for International Studies irrBeijing, China.
The center's director, Sherman Bai, said
the new site is intended to assist visiting


-UF students and professors, recruit Chinese
students to come to Gainesville and promote
the university's distance-education programs
in China.
Bai, a UF engineering professor, visited
Beijing from May to June and hired two staff
members for the center, located on the campus
of the China Agricultural University.
UF's International Center and Distance
Education program support the center finan-
cially, he said, though it is unclear when the
center would start accepting applicants or


what courses will be taught.
Bai said tuition at Chinese institutions is
lower than in the United States, an issue that
still must be resolved
U F to "adapt to [the]
^ '-''- needs" of potential
foreign students.
The Paris Research Center is the only other
hub UF has in another country, International
Center Executive Associate Director Lynn
Frazier said.
"[The center] will open a lot of opportu-


nities for UF to get in on the ground floor
of some of the exciting opportunities taking
place," she said.
China is one of the top five countries in
the number of students sent to UF, she said.
In each of the last four years, more than 400
students from China have attended UF.
A smaller number of UF students elect to
study abroad in China, Frazier said, adding
that such programs to China always have been
arranged through other universities.
"It's a very exciting project," she said.

Emmitt, linemen having record setting season


October 19, 1987 r Smith excelled


"Records don't mean much
to me," said Gator running back
Emmitt Smith, holder of many
records.
Smith added to his collec-
tion Saturday in the Gators'
34-3 Homecoming victory over
Temple. By the time Smith is
through, he could have more
records than Hyde and Zeke's.
Still, he says, the records
don't mean that much. But that
was tested Saturday.
Smith rushed for 175 yards
and a touchdown on 23 carries.
That gives him 1,011 yards in
seven games, the earliest any
freshman ever gained more
than 1,000 yards. Pittsburgh's
Tony Dorsett and Georgia's
Herschel Walker both reached
the 1,000-yard level in eight
games during their freshman
seasons.
Smith set the
Storysic record on his last
stor and longest carry,
a 25-yard sweep
to the left.
The record was announced
and Smith was swarmed
by celebrating teammates.
He jumped into offensive
tackle David Williams' arms.
"I told him thank you," Smith
said. "He did a great job today.
"Our offensive line deserves
the credit. They blocked great."
Smith's momentary display
of emotion showed that the re-
cords, or at least this one, must
mean something. But after the
game, Smith was characteristi-
cally modest.
"Emmitt had a lot of public-
ity and notoriety in high school
and had to go through much of
this back then," coach Galen
Hall said. "He has a very good
family and I think they have
raised the young man in the
right way."
But while Smith played
down the importance of his
records, his offensive linemen
relished the moment.
"It's just an unbelievable

feeling to be a part of the line
that helped Emmitt become the
first freshman back to rush for
over 1,000 yards in seven games
- what a strong feeling," strong
tackle Jimmy Davis said.
For the lineman, who if they
get any attention at all, it's usu-
ally for a holding penalty, it was
good to have some positive
feedback.
"Last year, we were called the
offensive line that couldn't block
for the run," guard Richard
Starowesky said. "Now, we look
better, but it's basically the same
line."
Smith's teammates talk high-
ly of him, a star who at least tries
to deflect his spotlight in their
direction. He's even given credit
for helping out on defense.
"Emmitt helps our team
out so much by providing the
offense with a balanced at-
tack," inside linebacker Gerold
Dickens said. "He also helps the
defense because we have con-


fidence in the- offense to score
points, therefore we can take
chances on defense."
But for the record, Smith was
credited with no tackles.
Smith left the game with a
sprained wrist with 11 minutes
to play in the first half. His wrist
was X-rayed in the locker room
and he returned to a standing
room ovation from the Florida
Field crowd and a warm wel-
come from his teammates.
"I'm just glad he's part of the
team," Williams said.
Through it all, Smith has
worked to maintain his mod-
esty. When asked what makes
him a great back, Smith smiled
and passed on the question.
"It's hard for me to say what
makes me the running back you
think I am," he said, looking at
the questioner. "What do you
think?"
Smith's success has bred
comparisons to other great
backs and talk of the Heisman


Trophy.
"Emmitt has played seven
games," Hall said. "He is do-
ing things that other players I
have been around have done,
like (former Oklahoma Heisman
winner) Billy Sims.
"I'm not saying that he is in
the same category as Billy Sims
right now," added Hall, a former
Oklahoma offensive coordina-
tor. "But by the time he gets out
of here, he will be."
Smith can. wait for the
Heisman, as long as the Gators
keep winning.
"I've got it down as a long-
term goal," he said of the award
given to the nation's best colle-
giate player. "But I'm not worry-
ing about it."
Smith's plans were more im-
mediate.
"I'm going to go out tonight
and try to forget about foot-
ball."
But will anyone let him for-
get?

Gators' teams

By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer

Nobody saw it coming. Sure,
Emmitt Smith was a star running back
in Pensacola with plenty of potential,
but in 1987 freshmen simply did not
dominate in college football.
Smith changed it all, and just seven-
games into his illustrious career, he
became the fastest freshman in NCAA
history to rush for 1,000 yards.
Former Alligator writer Derek
Catron, now the assistant managing
editor for the Daytona Beach News-
Journal, said covering Smith was a bit-
tersweet experience.
"The [former head coach] Galen
Hall era was something of a football
Dark Ages in Gator Nation," Catron
said. "I recall Coach Hall as a kind and
generous man, but he was no Urban
Meyer. On third-and-long, we'd sit in
the press box awaiting the inevitable
call of a draw play. Alas, the defense
wasn't surprised either.
"Spurrier would have been horri-
fied. Emmitt deserved better."
But while the probation-stricken
Gators suffered through mediocre sea-
sons, Smith lit up the scoreboard for
three years.
"He wasn't tall and didn't look
particularly fast," Catron said. "But
he had this aura about him, even as a
freshman.
"Emmitt looked like he'd 'een
sculpted by Michelangelo. His arms
looked as thick as an average guy's
thighs, his thighs were wider than
your girlfriend's waist. And he was just
as mature in the way that he carried
himself."
UF's lack of success kept Smith
from ever becoming a viable Heisman
candidate, but Smith gave UF fans
something to cheer about in an
otherwise depressing era in Gators
football.
"These days, with the examples of
Adrian Peterson and Maurice Clarett
still fresh, it doesn't seem like a big
deal to think of a freshman phenom,"
Catron said. "But no one was looking
for Emmitt to carry the team in '87."


FLORIDA STATE

FSU's Sexton to miss season with Lyme disease


* FRESHMEN XAVIER LEE AND
DREW WEATHERFORD WILL COM-
PETE FOR THE STARTING JOB.

STAFF REPORT

Florida State quarterback Wyatt Sexton
will miss the 2005 season, but the reason
comes as a surprise to many.
Sexton, the Seminoles player found
wandering on a suburban Tallahassee
street in June calling himself "the son of
God" before being pepper sprayed by po-
lice and sent to a hospital, was diagnosed
with Lyme disease.
Sexton's bizarre incident became the


brunt of numerous jokes around the
nation. Drugs were initially expected
- Sexton reportedly spent the previous
weekend at the Bonnaroo Music Festival
in Tennessee but the Sexton family
always claimed that drug abuse did not
cause the breakdown.
"It has been a very difficult time for
Wyatt," Sexton's parents said. "It has also
been hurtful to Wyatt and our family to
see some media reports that were simply
not true."-
The entire case raised eyebrows from
the start. After the Sexton incident became
public, Florida State officials claimed that
Sexton had already been suspended for
two weeks due to an undisclosed violation


of team rules but the suspension had never
been publically announced.
Now, officials are claiming Sexton has
Lyme disease, leaving
him unable to play foot-
ball in 2005. Sexton was
.. already redshirted as a
S- freshman, but Florida
1 State officials will try to
get him a medical red-
shirt so he doesn't lose a
Sexton year of eligibility.
"Wyatt has active
Lyme disease that has resulted in neuro-
psychiatric and cardiovascular deficits,"
Dr. S. Chandra Swami said in a statement
released through FSU. "I have strongly


recommended intensive therapy with a
goal to obtain an optimal state of health.
This should include academics and athlet-
ics. He should not be stressed by these two
disciplines for now."
Florida State opens the season' 'in
a nationally televised game against
Miami. Freshmen Xavier Lee and Drew
Weatherford will compete for the starting
quarterback job.
"Xavier and Drew will start out even
when we return to practice and we'll have
[about three weeks] to see if one can sepa-
rate himself from the other," FSU ,aach
Bobby Bowden said in a released state-
ment. "If not, we will go into the season
with two quarterbacks ready to go."

Call it motivation or call it a talent differential,

the Gators, and his best friend Lee, in the middle of
the 2004 season to play in Europe, the two met up
in the NBA Summer League.
Lee, the final pick of the first round for New
York, and Drejer, attempting to make New Jersey's

Monday night in Las Vegas.

Promising tight end asks for release


* GUTHRIE FEELS UNSUITED FOR
MEYER'S OFFENSE

By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligator.org

The Dane Guthrie Era came to a halt
'before it ever began, leaving the UF
football team with just one dependable
tight end.
Guthrie came to UF with plenty
of fanfare. Nearly everyone expected
the Miami native to sign with the
Hurricanes, but former UF coach Ron
Zook snagged Guthrie away from South
Florida.


I In 1987, a UF running back
named Emmitt Smith proved
that a freshman could carry a
football team. Read the classic
story on page 17.


"Everything was going well
and [Gainesville] was a great
place for [Guthrie]. But we
were out there to watch the
spring game and it's really a
different offense."
Harieta Guthrie
Dane Guthrie's mother

But Gators fans will never get to see
if Guthrie was the real deal, now that
the tight end asked to be released from
UF. He will likely transfer to either
Arizona State or North Carolina State.
Guthrie was unavailable for com-

ment, but his mother, Harieta, said that
Guthrie decided at the Orange and Blue
game that Urban Meyer's offense wasn't
suited for him.
"Everything was going well and
[Gainesville] was a great place for him,"
Harieta said. "But we were out there to
watch the spring game and it's really a
different offense."
Zook praised Guthrie during pre-
season practices last year, and it was
a foregone conclusion that Guthrie
would start as a true freshman. But a
high ankle sprain kept the tight end
off the field early in the season. While
he was expected to miss just a couple

goes insane
Maybe it's the insanity brewing
in the air hurricanes named
Dennis wreaking havoc on a state
still recovering from Ivan and Ron Zook,
terrorists trying to rule the world, and
that miserable heat. But all of a sudden, a
muggy, gruesome July in Gainesville has
become a month full of Gators drama.
I once read a book by David Halberstam
called the Summer of '49 (not to be
confused with the Bryan Adams cheese-
ballad, Summer of '69) about the classic
battle between the New York Yankees and
Boston Red Sox for first in the AL East.
After this sum-
mer, I'm ready to

to reach the College
World Series, base-
ball's shocking run in Omaha, the dramat-

Throw in a little Florida State sen-
sationalism, like the Wyatt Sexton saga
(more on that later) and the overflow of
Seminoles athletes in the Leon County
jail, and the Summer of '05 could be my
ticket out.
But before you place your advance or-
ders (mail all checks to the Alligator, made
out to me), slow down the stories are
just getting started.
The latest drama? Let's start with Dane
Guthrie.
Unless you're a football fanatic, you
may not be familiar wi t the name.
Guthrie was one of Zook's final prized re-
cruits, a Miami kid that surprisingly chose
the Gators even though the Hurricanes
came knocking.
The tight end never received his chance
last year. Injuries kept him off the field,
leaving a spot for Tate Casey to shine.
Now, Guthrie has mysteriously asked
for his release. He's headed to either N.C.
State or Arizona State.
Guthrie's not talking, and it doesn't
make much sense. While Casey had a solid
freshman season, Guthrie's talent would
have landed him on the field, possibly in
a starting role. Now, Urban Meyer is left
with just one tight end worth a darn. If

UF running backs contend for position, playing time


By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Staff Writer
eesteban@alligator.org

The shoes are set to fill and
the bar has been raised that much
higher.
Following an impressive
2004 season in which Ciatrick
Fason emerged as one of the pre-
mier backs in the Southeastern
Conference, the Gators enter
2005 with
to. a ques-
tionable
flltSV SI N backfield
looking to
follow, in the cleat marks of their
predecessor.
UF played through the spring
with its bevy of backs each see-
ing time with the first-team on
offense. While junior DeShawn
Wynn might seem like the favor-
ite because of sheer experience,
Coach Urban Meyer could easily
give the starting nod to either
Skyler Thornton or Markus
Manson.
'Wynn's opportunity to im-
press Meyer came in the spring
and he delivered by running hard
on a daily basis and keeping his
attitude on a positive level.
Upon arriving in Gainesville,
Meyer singled out Wynn as one
of the players that had to step up.
After excelling as a freshman but
suffering through a rocky sopho-
more season full of injuries and
work ethic issues, Wynn's main


DeShawn Wynn is the leading candidate to start at running back for the Gators.


objectives will be consistency in
effort and production.
"Consistency is the key,"
Meyer said. "All the stories
you've heard, well I've heard
them too and this train's moving
fast. Either he's going to jump'on
it or that's it for him."-
In an offense centered around


speed, multiple options out of
each formation and misdirection,
Wynn is more of a bruiser back.
However, don't let the heavy
frame fool you, running backs
Coach Stan Drayton said.
. "That's 228-pounds and we
expect him to be a runner on
contact," Drayton said. "He's got


some deceptive speed and is a big
back with great vision, great feet
and there's going to be a lot of
times where we see him explode
into the secondary and make big
plays."
With Wynn sitting out the
Orange and Blue game, the
speedy Manson gave 58,500 fans


and a coaching staff something to
think about when he's coupled
with a first-team offensive. line.
The redshirt freshman rushed 13
times for 72 yards.
"There's something different
between those guys and he's the
one guy that has legit sprinter
speed," Drayton said. "He needs
to be a threat, a home run threat,
every time he gets in the seond-
ary and is one on one to take it
the distance."
The other running back in the
mix for immediate playing time
is Thornton.
Thornton's style is almost
a blend of Wynn and Manson.
Thornton has the speed, cut back
abilityand experience to thrive in
the Gators' offense right away.
Thornton's hard work, as well
as injuries to Fason and Wynn,
allowed Thornton to receive in-
creased playing time toward the
end of last season. Thornton de-
livered with several clutch runs
against Florida State.
"Playing late was a real big
confidence booster, because that
showed me that I can go out there
and play with some of the best
people in the nation," Thornton
said.
Joining the trio of backs will
be true freshman Kestahn Moore.
A Texas native, the 5-foot-10, 205-
pound Moore will provide depth
at the position. If he receives
playing time in 2005, it will most
likely be on special teams.


MLB ALL-STAR GAME

Eckstein takes on new batting role in midsummer game


Tim Casey / Alligator Staff
Former UF walk-on David Eckstein is congratulated by St. Louis teammate Albert
Pujols after hitting a home run during spring training. Eckstein and Pujols were
both chosen as starters for the National League in tonight's All-Star Game.


STAFF REPORT

National League skipper Tony La Russa
considers tonight's major league All-Star
Game more than just a showcase for the fans.
With a potential World Series home-field
advantage for his St. Louis Cardinals on the
line, he's willing to shake things up to win.
"This is not a show," La Russa said. "It's not
an exhibition. We keep score."
In surprise move on Monday, La Russa
revealed that former UF walk-on and current
Cardinals shortstop David Eckstein will not
bat at his typical leadoff spot when he makes
his first All-Star Game appearance.
Instead, La Russa tapped Phillies slugger
Bobby Abreu to start things off for the visiting
NL team. Eckstein, the only NL All-Star starter
who serves as his team's regular leadoff man,
will bat ninth the "second leadoff man"
sometimes used by American League teams.
"I like that Bo Jackson type," La Russa-said
of Abreu. "I like that damage up there in the
first inning.
"When you have talent like this on a squad,
I don't think you can write a bad lineup. You
can scramble them up, but I like everything
that [Abreu] does offensively. He has a good
strike zone. He runs the bases well. He hits
rights, he hits lefts. We tried to get some dam-
age early."
Eckstein, the second baseman for the 1998
UF College World Series team, is hitting .284
with two homeruns, 24 RBI and a .370 on-base
percentage in his first year with the Cardinals
after coming from Anaheim last season.
Eckstein, who wasn't selected by the play-,


"This is all new to me. I've been play-
ing a long time, but to be voted in by
the fans is really nice. It's great the
people have finally recognized."

ers to participate, made the All-Star team after
beating out Los Angeles' Cesar 'Izturis for
the starting shortstop spot in a fan poll. He
now joins teammates Albert Pujols and Jim
Edmonds in the starting NL lineup. Edmonds
and All-Star reserve and Cardinals third base-
man Scott Rolen also won the fans' balloting
but didn't finish first or second in the in play-
ers' ballot.
"[It's] pretty amazing," Eckstein said.
"The fans have been great, and I know
the St. Louis fans had 'a lot to do with it."
Amid competition from future Hall-of-Fame
shortstops such as Derek Jeter and Alex
Rodriguez, Eckstein remained locked out of
the All-Star Game before making the jumi'p to
the NL. And he.wasn't about to celebrate pre-
maturely, despite, owning a 500,000-vote lead
over Izturis a day before the fan poll closed
on July 3.
"Nobody in my family had bought any
.plane tickets yet," he said. "This is all new to
me. I've been playing a long time, but to be
voted in by the fans is really nice. It's great

Walsh, Roberson continue NBA summer play


BASKETBALL, from page 18


Jut, two weeks ago, Walsh dreamed of being drafted by
the Miami Heat. On Saturday, Walsh played for the Heat
summer league team with much less fanfare and little game
action.
Walsh played just seven minutes Miami's opener against
Toronto, shooting 1-of-4 and scoring two points with no re-
bounds or assists.
On Monday it was a different story.


Walsh responded with a solid effort against Dallas, scor-
ing nine points on 4-of-8 shooting to go with eight rebounds
and five assists.
Roberson, meanwhile, put up consistent numbers in both
of his summer outings.
In Friday's opener against the Lakers, Roberson, playing
for the Memphis Grizzlies, scored 13 points on 4-of-9 shoot-
ing to go with four assists. Roberson, trying to prove that he
can be a NBA point guard, did add four turnovers.
On Sunday, Roberson once against shot 4-of-9 from
the floor for 10 points, an assist and two steals.

of games, the injury remained and
Guthrie was redshirted.
Meanwhile, freshman Tate Casey
emerged as a threat and surpris-
ingly finished the season with four
touchdowns.
But it apparently wasn't Casey's
presence that threatened Guthrie.
Meyer had planned to use both
Guthrie anid Casey on the field, but
likely more as blockers than receiv-
ers.


Harieta said Meyer tried to con-
vince Guthrie to stay at UF, but to
no avail.
"[Meyer] tried really hard I
think," Harieta said. "No one
goes out on the field but the kids.
Everything boils down to Dane. We
can try to persuade him to stay, but
[it's ultimately his decision]."
While Casey proved he is a solid
No. 1 tight end last year, now Meyer
finds himself in a tough situation.
If Casey suffers an injury or a
sophomore slump, Meyer really


has no second option. At 6-foot-6,
264 pounds, Markell Thompson has
plenty of size, but he proved little in
his junior season after transferring
from junior college.
And the only incoming freshman
tight end, Brian Ellis, didn't qualify
academically and won't play for UF
in 2005.

Michael Hill will also leave UF. As a
freshman last season, Hill appeared
in six games, recording five tackles.

fingers and pray that Markell Thompson magically
becomes the next Ben Troupe. Don't count on it.
Switching gears, how about the fun-filled David
Lee/Christian Drejer reunion?
Lee gave Drejer an old-fashioned Danish
spanking Monday night. Lee's 19 points trounced
Drejer who scored just four points. We don't know
what happened after the game, but let's just hope
that Lee's performance on the field was revenge
enough.
. And the Summer of '05 wouldn't be complete
without the latest chapter in the most mysterious
sports tale in years.
It turns out Sexton isn't the Son of God, he's just
an unlucky SOB that was bitten by a tick and con-
tracted Lyme disease.
Maybe Sexton has Lyme disease, maybe not. But
the entire story seems awfully shady.
Why would the Seminoles rule out playing
Sexton for the entire season at this early date? And
-why would Lyme disease make Sexton yell like -
a madman in the middle of a street? That's not a
symptom of Lyme disease, it's a symptom of ab-
surdity.
Stay tuned, the Summer of '05 is just getting hot.
That's a scary thought.

VOLUME 98 ISSUE 158 Recycle TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2005 By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Staff Writer eyehle@aligator.org LONDON -UF junior Jessica Daugherty sat in a hot classroom Thursday morning, sweating over a business law exam, when she heard a loud bang outside the open window. "It sounded like bubble wrap, you know, when you can't stop International popping it," she said. News "But it actually was a bus blowing up." Two blocks from Daugherty's school, one of this city's famous double-decker buses exploded with a full load of passengers, leaving the red metal frame looking like an opened can of tuna. That morning, three other bombs detonated at various places along the London Underground. All told, the attacks injured hundreds and killed at least 50. But four days after the attacks, London is almost back to normal. The Underground trains and public buses continued most of their routes Friday, less than 24 hours after the attacks. Trains continue to run past the closed King's Cross station, where a nearby explosion killed at least 21 people. The eerie pause at the empty station is one of a few hints at the recent tragedy. "They just bouced back," Daugherty said. "The devastation was horrible, but they just immediately swooped in and cleaned it up and did it really calmly" About 40 students have been studying since May at Huron University as part of a cooperative effort with UF's business school, and many have slipped back into their normal rou"It sounded like bubble wrap, you know, when you can't stop popping it.

"Surprisingly, I don't think any of us were afraid," UF junior Matt Flagler said. "I think a lot of us were angry and wanted to tell our parents we were OK, but none of us were fearful." The stoicism of Londoners throughut the attacks helped keep fear at bay, Daugherty said. "They (Londoners) weren't panicked at all," she said. "I sort of felt like a novice. I felt like I could handle it." Not all students took the attacks with the same calmness. At a dorm a few blocks from Huron, some New York University students felt more stricken with panic. Students sat in the lounge glued to the screen, while officials strongly encouraged everyone to stay inside. Those with first-hand memories of Sept. 11, 2001, immediately expected the worst. "I was really nervous. My heart was pounding," NYU student Maria Verbanac said. "It reminded me of 9/11. I didn't know how big of an attack it was." One week before the Twin Towers fell, Verbanac's father was moved from his office there to a building across the street. Verbanac was unaware of the move, and when news hit her high school, she panicked.

William Travis Page, 22, was questioned after his involvement in a March 18 hazing incident when new members were ordered to steal signs from local businesses. Page discussed details of the organization's hazing ritual associated with the induction process of new members. It included physical training, such as sit-ups, nmning and push-ups as a form of punishment, as well as cleaning the houses of fraternity members and allowing chapter members to paddle newly inducted members with paddles they were instructed to buy. Page told police physical training occurred when new members didn't complete an assigned task or didn't know the names of current Kappa Alpha members listed in a "black book." The training, which took place on Flavet Field, involved approximately an hour and a half of exercise when no liquids were provided, and some new members, including Page, vomited. Page said he also was assigned three nights a week to drive members of the fraternity who had been drinking to and from various locations. Kappa Alpha President Dan Boda said his chapter's hazing rituals aren't what they once were. "The momentum of hazing in KA has been slowed down in the past couple years," he said. "This incident will put a firm stop to it." UPD reports detailing Page's allegations have been -handed to Student Judicial Affairs, and a hearing with Kappa Alpha is being scheduled. The organization is on interim suspension prohibiting Kappa Alpha from taking part in any chapter activities on or off campus, and the chapter house is closed until the hearing. When the Hub is resurrected in May 2006, it could include a 10,000 square-foot, 24-hour Internet caf6 and a new home for llF's International Center. See story, pg. 4.

2, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2005 News Today CAMPUS Hunger banquet to be held Wednesday The number of UF students who participate in community service has grown so much in the last few years that the Office of Community Service has expanded. The Center for Leadership and Service, created at the end of April, will sponsor its first event under its new name Wednesday. Recipe for Social Change, a hunger banquet to be held in the basement of Broward Hall at 6:30 p.m., aims to increase awareness of poverty locally and nationally. The suggested cost for admission is one can of nonperishable food, which will be donated to local pantries to help feed what the center estimates to be 1,400 homeless in Gainesville. Colette Taylor, the associate director of the center, said there has been a huge increase in students involved in service in the last few years. ."They've beTaylor come interested in associate d director changing the world as individuals," she said. According to the center's annual reports, UF students spent 269,275 hours doing community service last year, compared to 195,530 hours in 2001. Vanessa Frisby, a 20-year-old business major at UF who is organizing the hunger banquet, said Alachua County's poverty rate is one of the highest in Florida. The national average for people living below the poverty line is about 12 percent of the population, but Alachua County's, poverty rate is more than twice that, at between 24 and 26 percent. "It's unsettling to see the concentrated wealth around campus," Frisby said. The sharp contrast between East and West Gainesville is also striking, between houses worth millions and decaying shacks, she said. Frisby said the event is meant to raise awareness about poverty and hopefully inspire some people to act. The center expects about 100 to 150 people to attend, and everyone is invited.

No one was reported injured, and the fire only caused minimal damage to the onebedroom apartment at the complex, located at 1216 SW Second Ave, Gainesville Fire Rescue spokeswoman Jodi Smith said. Although only the oven was on fire, a dense cloud of smoke "too thick to see through" permeated the apartment, according to GFR. Neighbors said the fire alarm did not go off and that they learned about the fire only after firefighters knocked' on their doors and asked them to evacuate the building. FRIDAY THUNDER STORMS 90/74 SATURDAY THUNDER STORMS 90/75 Only the residents from the first floor were evacuated. The smoke detector inside the apartment did not go off because there was a shower cap placed over it. UF marketing senior Ryan Witkowski said he was taking a shower, but seeing the fire trucks, he left his apartment and went outside. "The firemen were all over the place, and there was smoke in the hallway," Witkowski said. He said about 10 to 15 people were evacuated from the building and that there was no commotion. Residents were allowed back inside their apartments after less than an hour. Witkowski said he later talked to the resident whose oven was on fire. "He said that he was heating the oven to cook his food when the oven caught on fire for an unknown reason," Witkowski said. The resident of the apartment was not available for comment. -ALEJANDRA CANCINO The Alligator strIves To be accurate and clear in its news reports and editorials.

TUSDAY, JtU LY 12, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 3 Samuel Proctor, one of UP's distinguished alumni, died Sunday, closing the book on some of UF's history. Proctor died in the early morning hours Sunday, after a long and mysterious illness. He was 86. Proctor was UF's first official historian and archivist and the man who established UF's prolific Oral History Program. "It is one of the luckiest of circumstances for me that I got to know Sam," UP President Bernie Machen said. Machen presented Proctor with an honorary Doctorate of Public Service last summer to recognize his contributions to the Proctor retired from UF in June 1996 after teaching for 50 UF community. years. In that time he shared his vast knowledge of history with Proctor received a bachelor's degree in 1941, master's in many students, including former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham. 1942 and doctorate in 1958, all from UP. He also published a history of UF called "Gator History: A The Oral History Program, which he started in 1967 and Pictorial History of the University of Florida" in 1986. It was is now named for him, was designed to preserve eyewitness Proctor's research that determined UF's roots date to 1853. accounts of life in Florida and the South.

Although Verbanac contetnplated leaving London at first, she decided to stay after seeing the city recover so quickly. But she will never take the Underground trains again. "I do tty to do what I would notmally do, but at the same home I'm more cautious," she said. Some UF students, however, boarded a train as soon as possible. And with class miles away from their apartments, all of them will have to enter the tunnels soon. "I wanted to ride the tube the next day just to assure myself that everything would be OK," Flagler said. That same reason drove both NYU and UF students to the pubs Thursday evening. After a day of hiding in dorns and classrooms, many wanted to see how the British were handling the tragedy. The pubs were packed with patrons. Many people sat arocmd drinking pints of beer, acting as if nothing had happened, Flagler said. "I think it's a good thing that life goes on, and we can't let terrorism change our way of life," he said. "It was a stressful day and what better thing than to get a pint." The day was more stressful for some UF students than for others. With an exam at 9 a.m., many students took the Underground trains to class right around the time three bombs exploded in the tunnels. Katie Gorda, a finance junior, said she was trapped on a train for an hour. Down the same track, two trains received the worst of the explosions. Officials are still recovering trapped bodies from the wreckage. Gorda said she was completely unaware of the explosions a few trains ahead of her. "They told us that there was a power glitch so I had no idea that it was a bomb," she wrote in an e-mail. Vara Bloom, a 21-ygar-old finance senior, was also on the train to class. When her train was delayed, officials told passengers that there was a fire further down the track. Even when hundreds of passengers were forced to walk up the emergency stairs, Bloom said she never questioned the circumstances. "We were so rushed to get to our test that we weren't even thinking about it," she said.

4, ALLIGATORS TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2005 ON CAIPLS Hub may offer 24-hour cafe" By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@aIIigator.org When the Hub is resurrected fully in May 2006, it could include a 24-hour Internet caf6. Partially closed since the UF bookstore moved to the Reitz Union, the Hub, located at Stadium Road and Buckman Drive, will cost $11.5 million to renovate. Its first floor will consist of a 10,000 squarefoot Internet cafi and a new home for the International Center, now located in Grinter Hall. The Academic Technology Center, which includes the UF Computing Help Desk, also will move its offices from the Computer Sciences and Engineering building to the Hub but keep existing business hours. Though UF is financing the renovation, Interim Associate Provost for Information Technology Marc Hoit said university officials have agreed to keep the Internet caf6 open 24 hours only if Student Goverrmnent will pay to staff it beyond normal UF Computing Help Desk hours. Late-night operation is expected to require two staffers: a computer specialist and a student employee. The funding of their wages will require a vote in the Student Senate. Student Sen. Jason Lutin, chairman of the 24-Hour Study Committee, said SG officials and students have shown consistent interest in a latenight study center. A committee like his has been formed in SG every year for five years, he said. "Now, we're just a couple signatures away from having a 24-hour study center." Jason Lutin 24-Hour Study Committee chairman Lutin said in the past he has gotten "the runaround" from UF administrators. "Now," he said, "we're just a couple signatures away from having a 24-hour study center." hi addition to a large open area with a computer lab, laser printers and the UF Computing Help Desk, the Internet cafe will include two video-conference rooms, four or five small study rooms, a video-editing area with editing software and high-end graphics capability, and either a Starbucks or a Java City, Hoit said. SG officials plan to keep the area open 24 hours a day, seven days a week at first, Lutin said, adding that the plan may change with how often and when students use the facility Protect yourself against AIDS.

TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 5 u rEitAhu Hur~ n-res1stant ose stands up to Dennis By DOUGLAS BONEPARTH Alligator Contributing Writer Hurricane Dennis may have huffed and puffed, but it could not blow this house down. Near the Escambia County extension in Pensacola stands a structure simply dubbed the "hurricane house," designed to withstand winds in excess of 140 miles per hour. The house, officially known as the Escambia Windstorm Damage Mitigation, Training and Demonstration Center, is a UF project to test if homes can be made more hurricane-resistant. "Our hurricane house demonstrates that it is possible to build a home that will come through hurricanes such as Dennis and Ivan with little or no damage," said Lamar Christenbery, Escambia County extension director with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, in a press release. He and his team have been studying how materials, products and construction methods that meet or exceed state standards can be used in new homes or to retrofit existing structures. "I don't think Dennis challenged it as much as we had hoped," he said. "It wasn't a Category 3 or 4, but we did get a good wind test of about 100 mph." In the press release, Pierce Jones, director of the UF/TFAS Florida Energy Extension Service said new building codes, which went in to effect March 2002, are stricter than before but not as strict as those in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Jones said because no Florida home is impervious to hurricane damage, the codes should become stricter statewide eventually. The hurricane house near Pensacola is just one of three hurricane houses around the state. One house is located in Fort Pierce, another in St. Augustine and a fourth will be complete in August 2005 in Fort Lauderdale. To pay for the project, the Florida Department of Financial Services provided $2.3 million in funding, while UF's Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing in the College of Design, Construction and Planning overlooked the design and construction. 'Our hurricane house demonstrates that it is possible to build a home that will come through hurricanes such as Dennis and Ivan with little or no damage." Lamar Christenberry Escambia County IFAS extension director Homeowners interested in the buildings can visit the houses in the respective locations to see the methods used in constructing hurricane-safe homes. Visitors will be able to see a variety of window shutters, impact-resistant doors, a steel "safe room," a garage door capable of withstanding 150 mph winds and exposed sections of interior walls. Jones said the walls' building method is more expensive than regular concrete or wood-frame construction but is desirable where wind speeds are higher and stormsurge problems are imminent. "The insulated Styrofoam-formed concrete walls add about 10 to 15 percent to cost, but there is a pay back in energy in a few years," Christenberry said. Hurricane Dennis, a fast-moving Category 3 hurricane when it came ashore with 120mph winds, was smaller than Ivan and weaker than when it churned through the Gulf of Mexico as a potentially catastrophic Category 4 storm. Dennis became the fifth hurricane to strike Florida in fewer than 11 months, causing an estimated $1 billion to $2.5 billion in insured damage in the United States.

By RESHELLE SMITLI Alligator Contributing Writer Across from the stadium and next to the journalism building in a first-floor room no bigger than a bathroom sit the hopes of NASA. Technology developed in this tiny UF lab will help ensure the safety of the space shuttle Discovery, scheduled to lift-off Wednesday. Discovery marks the first shuttle mission in more than two years' since the Columbia tragedy ofFebruary 2003. Engineering professor Ed Dugan, along with retired professor Alan Jacobs and doctoral student Daniel Shedlock, developed a way to scan the foam on the extemal fuel tank of the space shuttle for possible defects. In the Columbia disaster, experts believe a briefcase-size piece of foam broke off the external fuel tank and damaged tiles on the left wing, Shedlock said. While it's impossible to know for certain whether or not the scanning technique developed by the UF team could have prevented the disaster, NASA is now able to look inside the foam for any cracks or holes that could make the foam more susceptible to breaking off. NASA and Lockheed Martin, the company that assembled the fuel tank, attempted many different scanning methods to get images of the foam core, including ultrasound and electromagnetic scanning, Dugan said. Because of the low density of the HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS WANTED for CLINICAL REEARCH Call Mon-Fri for more information 877.851.1050 352.333.3111 1014 NW 57th Street Ste.A, Gainesvile, FL www.radiantresearch.com If you are 18-55 years of age, you may qualify for a research study testing an investigational vaccine. Qualified participants must be willing to complete 6 clinic visits and will receive all study-related physical exams at no cost and will be compensated up to $425 for their time and travel expenses. R E S E A IR C H foam, however, each method failed to create a proper image. Lockheed came to UF after hearing about the work Dugan and Jacobs were doing with landmine detection, Dugan said. They wanted to know if UF's method could be applied to foam scanning. Dugan developed a type of backscatter radiography for Lockheed that creates an image by exposing X-rays to an object UF and collecting the RemefalffCh electromagnetic waves that bounce back, or "scatter," from that object. Only about 10 percent of all rays are scattered back, which makes backscatter radiography very difficult to use, Dugan said. Dugan's scanner is composed of four cylindrical detectors surrounding a cylindrical yellow X-ray r I Sr Mot I This COUpon good I for an extra $5 on I your 2nd and 4th I -1 donation. I L ..r. .To w. a For More Informatkon Go To www.E generator. Each detector creates a separate image, but the images also can be combined to create one image, Dugan said. The scanner uses the same X-rays used in a doctor's office. However, in medical X-rays, the rays pass through the body of a patient to register an image on a screen behind them. Because it's not always possible to place a screen behind an object, the backscatter method is beneficial. UF's scanner can be adjusted to select the best bounced-back X-rays, resulting in a black-and-white image clearer than any medical X-ray. "If you told-me two years ago we could get images like that, I wouldn't have believed it," Dugan said. In the image of a test foam piece sent to the UT lab, debris purposely put into the foam to test the technology, including a bolt and a pencil, are clearly visible. A shadowy white area about the size of a silver dollar can also be observed. That, Shedlock said, is what NASA and Lockheed are looking for. A small, shadowy area indicates a defect in the foam, and a defect makes it easier for the foam to break off. If a similar defect was detected in the fuel-tank foam, Lockheed technicians would cut the piece out and start the foam application process over again. All of the foam on the external tank is not scanned because most of it is applied by a machine, Shedlock said. But there are areas where a machine can't do the job, and the foam is applied by hand, layer by layer. These are the areas most susceptible to foam flaws and the ones scanned by UF technology.

6, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2005 Olympic strugg le Tragedies should cause cities to rethink Games we stop to remember the 50-plus who lost their lives by terrorists' bombs in London last week, we should not forget that the city was cleared to host its first Olympic games in six decades the day before. Nor should we forget the plight of New Yorkers, whose enthusiasm for their city's unsuccessful 2012 Olympic bid was indicative of their eagerness to rebuild ever since they, too, underwent unspeakable tragedy. London, New York, Paris, Moscow, Madrid -all major cities with hopes of hosting the Olympics, and all recent victims of terrorism. An Athens police station was bombed three months before last year's Summer Games. In 2000, a cooperative effort between Australia and New Zealand police foiled a bombing of a nuclear reactor in the suburbs of Sydney, planned to go down while the Games resided down under. And everyone should remember an early Saturday morning in July 1996, when a pipe bomb shattered Atlanta's brand-new Centennial Park and the world's dreams of a 'safe' Olympics. As major cities become more cosmopolitan, and therefore more attractive to International Olympic Committee officials seeking prestige for their signature events, they will also become clearer targets for terrorists and other ne'er-do-wells. Conclusion: The Olympics inadvertently carries with it an expectation of violence; a culture, if you will. Maybe it was a good thing New York was shut out. Of course, "faster, higher, stronger" applies just as much to those groups wishing to destroy political cooperation as it does to those working together. The next Olympic Summer Games are set for Beijing in 2008. Almost $1 billion is devoted to security -to protect the billions organizers there will spend on facilities and event supplies. Lessons exist out there for major cities wishing to bid on future Games. The exorbitance of plans submitted by the finalists for the 2012 Games, and thus the expense of protecting them and the people involved in there, must lead the world to embrace a "back-to-basics" strategy for 2016. The side effect of dialing down the scope of the event will be to open up sports of all nations to areas that normally wouldn't see world-class competition -which was one of the original driving principles of the IOC. The lessons are waiting to be leamt. No hurricane for Charley .y The recent debacle involving quasi-alumnus and former Florida Governor Charley Johns has not escaped us. But we wonder how a three-sentence description of Johns, who's been dead for 15 years, in UF's alumni magazine becomes a topic worthy of worldwide derision. UF Today Magazine named Johns one of 81 "standout alumni," based on his two months at the university and then short stint as governor. For many reasons, his inclusion was a mistake. 'The committee Johns chaired was responsible for the cruel torturing of gays, blacks, and Jews at U. We should remind ourselves of Mike Gimignasi EDITOR this cruelty at every step as the university moves forward through a new century. However, the pages of a PR magazine are not the right places to wage the war avenging those shamed by the Johns Cormmittee, nor should the magazine be the proper venue to reintroduce the group's misdeeds. Indeed, as some have recommended, we too believe that such a display should be made on a grander scale. Let's not blame a fluff magazine for an honest mistake. It's the responsibility of those who know the details and have the ability to do something powerful with that knowledge to pay it forward.

The returning on the television. aslyeeaslgater.arg mains are so mangled and difficult to As I proceeded to do so. Thursday morning, what onretrieve that authorities have yet to folded before my eyes is something I refuse to accept as identify a single person as the death customary. The horrific scenes from London roused emotions reminiscent of those during the events of Sept. 11, 2001. The attacks on England's capital, more than 3,000 miles away, hit surprisingly close to home. On July 7, the sights and sounds of London were far too familiar. Smoke billowed from the burning rubble as civilians ran through the streets, some stopping to tend to the bloodied and wounded. A coordinated bombing had decimated three Underground trains and a double-decker bus. Scotland Yard Commissioner Ian Blair said the attacks had "all the hallmarks of al-Qaeda." I couldn't help but sympathize with the millions of people questioning the survival of a loved one. Tt was the same question that haunted me for hours on end after the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11. All-attempts to make contact with either my mother or grandmother, both of whom were in New York City, initially failed. In addition, I couldn't reach any of my aunts, uncles and cousins who I hoped had remained in the suburbs on that fateful morning. As the hours passed and phone lines opened, my family's safety was assured one person at a time, but not without a close call. One of my cousins was eating breakfast on the ground floor of the World Trade Center when the first plane hit. Luckily, he escaped unharmed. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for so many other families affected by 9/11 and now this attack as well. More toll continues to rise. The lives of the fallen have been relegated to that of a statistic. We must do more to prevent this from happening within our own country. Although railway security in New York City was increased temporarily Thursday, it was a departure from business as usual. Under normal circumstances, boarding a train with a backpack of explosives like those used in London would be as easy as walking down a public street. Why, then, did the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security recently grant $50 million less than last year's $150 million for transit and rail security? Since the tragic events of 9/11, the federal government has spent $18 billion on aviation security, but only $250 million for public-transportation security. Thankfully, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-New York) recently proposed an amendment to the Homeland Security Appropriations bill that would double the $100 million proposed for both mass transit and rail security. The amendment also includes a provision that would require the Department of Homeland Security to allocate $20 million from its science budget to develop explosive detectors for mass-transit stations, rail cars and buses. As American citizens step from the station platforms onto unprotected trains, we can only hope that Schumer's amendment is voted into law. Aaron Blye is a plitic71 science senior.

Column 'Free trade' not to be confused with 'fair' In this week's Entertainment Weekly, Chris Martin of Coldplay poses wearing a shirt that exhorts "Fair Trade." Unfortunately, many similarly uneducated artists and dilettantes advocate such trade as well. Fair trade might seem fair to the millionaire farm tycoons who paid to transport thousands of well-meaning protesters to WTO and G8 protests in order to protect their subsidies -but it hardly can be so for the billions around the world who stand to gain from the liberating, yet invisible hand of free trade. Since fair and free trade come in myriad forms, it might be helpful to define my terms: Fair trade seeks to alleviate poverty as a matter of social justice by using "fair pricing" for goods and services, but it may also involve transparency, environmental protection and tariffs. I am reminded of fair trade's most eloquent speaker, Dennis Kucinich, during his visit to UF last year, who warned the masses that fear was killing this country thanks to the Bush administration. He then proceeded to explain to us how scary free trade is and how fearful we should be of business. Well, no one ever accused fair traders of being cogent. As Antony Flew pointed out, social justice itself isn't defined by its greatest advocates! But hey, it's sure fun to say, right? As with fair trade, free trade policies come in all shapes and sizes. Free trade usually seeks the elimination of virtually all trade barriers such as tariffs, as well as the free and unrestricted flow of labor and capital. It also calls for striking taxes, subsidies and regulations on trade. Through this anarchy of resources and people, living standards rise across the board, in part due to comparative advantage writ large. Also, people have the freedom to trade as they please. Free traders tend to minimize the importance of bargaining power as needless hand-wringing. Christian Waugh The numbers, the equations and The Final Frontier the stark realities all seem to support cwaugh@alligator.org the efficacy of trade as a tool for good in the world. Looking at the nonpareil examples of fair trade such as Cultural Revolution China, the archaic Soviet Union or modern day Cuba and North Korea, we see the impotence of fair trade more vividly than any argument that can be made with words. By contrast, looking at Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the United States might move you to tears. Of course, this comparison between fair and free trade is an exercise in generalities. The reality is that even fair trade has its place. For example, even militant and religious free traders, like myself, do not condone slave labor in any means of production, nor for the gains of the few at the expense of the many, nor for propping up predatory despots. In fact, advocates of free trade believe it is only a few short steps from the restrictions and regulations of fair trade to such tyranny, whether it is one of good or bad intentions. Economist Hernando de Soto similarly says that for countries without property rights, free trade will only serve the predators. Once these are in place, however, the sky is the limit. Accordingly, we recently agreed to the Central American Free Trade Agreement and with hope, we will make agreements with the Middle East and China before long. These policy achievements will continue our 21st century civilization's unmatched and unending advances in science, technology and art, for such progress occurs because of trade and freedom, not in spite of it.

TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 Letter to the Editor Libraries closed too much in Summer Editor: I would like someone in charge to explain to me why the UF libraries, which are used more frequently by graduate students than by anyone else, are closed the weekend before the July 4 holiday, were only open limited hours during the "break" between Summer A and Summer B and will be closed virtually every weekend during the month of August. .Campus "breaks" are solely utilized by undergraduates and staff -there is no such thing as a "holiday" or "semester break" for graduate students, and we should have adequate access to resources ,during these times, as they are not government-sanctioned holidays and the rest of America is still open for business. Research conducted by faculty and graduate students (which, incidentally, is largely made possible by access to library resources) brings in an overwhelming amount of money to UF ($450 million in 2004), and our work should not be. compromised or placed on the back burner. What the hell -why don't we just declare every day a UF holiday?

8, ALLIGATOREM TUESDAY, JULY 12,2005 UF opens international-studies Office in Bseijing MORE THAN 400 CHINESE STUDENTS COME TO UF EVERY YEAR. By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Contributing Writer UF students will have a new study abroad option with the establishment of the UF Center for International Studies inr Beijing, China. The center's director, Sherman Bai, said the new site is intended to assist visiting UF students and professors, recruit Chinese students to come to Gainesville and promote the university's distance-education programs in China. Bai, a UF engineering professor, visited Beijing from May to June and hired two staff members for the center, located on the campus of the China Agricultural University. UF's International Center and Distance Education program support the center financially, he said, though it is unclear when the center would start accepting applicants or what courses will be taught. Bai said tuition at Chinese institutions is lower than in the United States, an issue that still must be resolved UF ,to "adapt to [the] needs" of potential foreign students. The Paris Research Center is the only other hub UF has in another country, International Center Executive Associate Director Lynn Frazier said. "[The center] will open a lot of opportunities for UF to get in on the ground floor of some of the exciting opportunities taking place," she said. China is one of the top five countries in the number of students sent to UF, she said. In each of the last four years, more than 400 students from China have attended UF. A smaller number of UF students elect to study abroad in China, Frazier said, adding that such programs to China always have been arranged through other universities. "It's a very exciting project," she said.

TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2005 E ALLIGAT13a, 17 Emrnrtt, Iinemen having record setting season By DEREK CATRON Oct0ber 19, 198t "Records don't mean much to me," said Gator running back Emmitt Smith, holder of many records. Smith added to his collection Saturday in the Gators' 34-3 Homecoming victory over Temple. By the time Smith is through, he could have more records than Hyde and Zeke's. Still, he says, the records don't mean that much. But that was tested Saturday. Smith rushed for 175 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. That gives him 1,011 yards in seven games, the earliest any freshman ever gained more than 1,000 yards. Pittsburgh's Tony Dorsett and Georgia's Herschel Walker both reached the 1,000-yard level in eight games during their freshman seasons. Classic : Smith set the stiry record on his last and longest carry, a 25-yard sweep to the left. The record was announced and Smith was swarmed by celebrating teammates. He jumped into offensive tackle David Williams' arms. "I told him thank you," Smith said. "He did a great job today. "Our offensive line deserves the credit. They blocked great." Smith's momentary display of emotion showed that the records, or at least this one, must mean something. But after the game, Smith was characteristically modest. "Emmitt had a lot of publicity and notoriety in high school and had to go through much of this back then," coach Galen Hall said. "He has a very good family and I think they have raised the young man in the right way." But while Smith played down the importance of his records, his offensive linemen relished the moment. "It's just an unbelievable 'II ~ Alligator File Photo The Emmitt Smith show continues, after the freshman tailback ran for 175-yards on Saturday, making him the fastest freshman in NCAA to record 1,00 rushing yards in a season. feeling to be a part of the line that helped Emmitt become the first freshman back to rush for over 1,000 yards in seven games -what a strong feeling," strong tackle Jimmy Davis said: For the lineman, who if they get any attention at all, it's usually for a holding penalty, it was good to have some positive feedback. "Last year, we were called the offensive line that couldn't block for the run," guard Richard Starowesky said. "Now, we look better, but it's basically the same line." Smith's teammates talk highly of him, a star who at least tries to deflect his spotlight in their direction. He's even given credit for helping out on defense. "Emmitt helps our team out so much by providing the offense with a balanced attack," inside linebacker Gerold Dickens said. "He also helps the defense because we have confidence in the. offense to score points, therefore we can take chances on defense." But for the record, Smith was credited with no tackles. Smith left the game with a sprained wrist with 11 minutes to play in the first half. His wrist was X-rayed in the locker room and he returned to a standing room ovation from the'Florida Field crowd and a warm welcome from his teammates. "I'm just glad he's part of the team," Williams said. Through it all, Smith has worked to maintain his modesty. When asked what makes him a great back, Smith smiled and passed on the question. "It's hard for me to say what makes me the running back you think I am," he said, looking at the questioner. "What do you think?" Smith's success has bred comparisons to other great backs and talk of the Heisman Trophy. "Emmitt has played seven games," Hall said. "He is doing things that other players I have been around have done, like (former Oklahoma Heisman winner) Billy Sims. "I'm not saying that he is in the same category as Billy Sims right now," added Hall, a former Oklahoma offensive coordinator. "But by the time he gets out of here, he will be." Smith can wait for the Heisman, as long as the Gators keep winning. "I've got it down as a longterm goal," he said of the award given to the nation's best collegiate player. "But I'm not worrying about it." Smith's plans were more immediate. "I'm going to go out tonight and try to forget about football." But will anyone let him forget? on subpar Gators' teams By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramson@aliigator.org Nobody saw it coming. Sure, Emmitt Smith was a star running back in Pensacola with plenty of potential, but in 1987 freshmen simply did not dominate in college football. Smith changed it all, and just seven games into his illustrious career, he became the fastest freshman in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards. Former Alligator writer Derek Catron, now the assistant managing editor for the Daytona Beach NewsJournal, said covering Smith was a bittersweet experience. "The [former head coach] Galen Hall era was something of a football Dark Ages in Gator Nation," Catron said. "I recall Coach Hall as a kind and generous man, but he was no Urban Meyer. On third-and-long, we'd sit in the press box awaiting the inevitable call of a draw play. Alas, the defense wasn't surprised either. Spurnier would have been horrified. Emmitt deserved better." But while the probation-stricken Gators suffered through mediocre seasons, Smith lit up the scoreboard for three years. "He wasn't tall and didti't look particularly fast," Catron said. "But he had this aura about him, even as a freshman. "Emmitt looked like he'd nbeen sculpted by Michelangelo. His arms looked as thick as an average guy's thighs, his thighs were wider than your girlfriend's waist. And he was just as mature in the way that he carried himself." UF's lack of success kept Smith from ever becoming a viable Heisman candidate, but Smith gave UF fans something to cheer about in an otherwise depressing era in Gators football. "These days, with the examples of Adrian Peterson and Maurice Clarett still fresh, it doesn't seem like a big deal to think of a freshman phenom," Patron said. "But no one was looking for Emmitt to carry the team in '87." FLORIDA STATE FSU's Sexton to iss season with Lyme disease E FRESHMEN XAVIER LEE AND DREW WEATHERFORD WILL COMPETE FOR THE STARTING JOB. STAFF REPORT florida State quarterback Wyatt Sexton will miss the 2005 season, but the reason comes as a surprise to many Sexton, the Seminoles player found wandering on a suburban Tallahassee street in June calling himself "the son of God" before being pepper sprayed by police and sent to a hospital, was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Sexton's bizarre incident became the brunt of numerous jokes around the nation. Drugs were initially expected -Sexton reportedly spent the previous weekend at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee -but the Sexton family always claimed that drug abuse did not cause the breakdown. "It has been a very difficult time for Wyatt," Sexton's parents said. "It has also been hurtful to Wyatt and our family to see some media reports that were simply not true." The entire case raised eyebrows from the start. After the Sexton incident became public, Florida State officials claimed that Sexton had already been suspended for two weeks due to an undisclosed violation of team rules but the suspension had never been publically announced. Now, officials are claiming Sexton has Lyme disease, leaving him unable to play football in 2005. Sexton was already redshirted as a freshman, but Florida State officials will try to get him a medical redshirt so he doesn't lose a year of eligibility. "Wyatt has active Lyme disease that has resulted in neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular deficits," Dr. S. Chandra Swami said in a statement released through FSU. "I have strongly recommended intensive therapy with a goal to obtain an optimal state of health. This should include academics and athletics. He should not be stressed by these two disciplines for now." Florida State opens the season 'in a nationally televised game against Miami. Freshmen Xavier Lee and Drew Weatherford will compete for the starting quarterback job. "Xavier and Drew will start out even when we return to practice and we'll have [about three weeks] to see if one can separate himself from the other," FSU c~ach Bobby Bowden said in a released statement. "If not, we will go into the season with two quarterbacks ready to go." Sexton

Lee has continued to excel in the summer leagues, while Drejer has tanked. Prior to Monday's game, Lee was averaging nearly 11 points and seven rebounds per game while shooting 40 percent from the field in 20 minutes. Drejer, meanwhile, was scoring just three points per game and two rebounds, shooting 23 percent from the field in 20 minutes.

SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 20 L GUTHRIE FEELS UNSUITED FOR MEYER'S OFFENSE By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabranson@alligator.org The Dane Guthrie Era came to a halt before it ever began, leaving the UF football team with just one dependable tight end.

But all of a sudden, a muggy, gruesome July in Gainesville has become a month full of Gators drama. I once read a book by David Halberstam called the Summer of '49 (not to be confused with the Bryan Adams cheeseballad, Summer of '69) about the classic battle between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox for first in the AL East. After this summer, I'm ready to pen my own book titled Summer of '05: A Florida Odyssey. Most of the book will center around Andrew the madness in Abramson Gainesville -UF's Drew's Control home victory against aabramson@alligator.org rival Florida State to reach the College World Series, baseball's shocking run in Omaha, the dramatic tale of Matt Walsh and his advisors. Throw in a little Florida State sensationalism, like the Wyatt Sexton saga (more on that later) and the overflow of Seminoles athletes in the Leon County jail, and the Summer of '05 could be my ticket out. But before you place your advance orders (mail all checks to the Alligator, made out to me), slow down -the stories are just getting started. The latest drama? Let's start with Dane Guthrie. Unless you're a football fanatic, you may not be familiar with the name. Guthrie was one of Zook's final prized recruits, a Miami kid that surprisingly chose the ators even though the Hurricanes came knocking. The tight end never received his chance last year. Injuries kept him off the field, leaving a spot for Tate Casey to shine. Now, Guthrie has mysteriously asked for his release. He's headed to either N.C. State or Arizona State. Guthrie's not talking, and it doesn't make much sense. While Casey had a solid freshman season, Guthrie's talent would have landed him on the field, possibly in a starting role. Now, Urban Meyer is left with just one tight end worth a darn. If Casey gets injured, Meyer better cross his SEE ABRAMSON.

TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2005 E ALLIGATjR, 19 mUF running bavks contendUfor position, -playing tirme By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Staff Writer eesteban@aligator.org The shoes are set to fill and the bar has been raised that omuch higher. Following an impressive 2004 season in which Ciatrick Fason emerged as one of the premier backs in the Southeastern Conference, the Gators enter 2005 with a quesHA tionable backfield looking to follow in the cleat marks of their predecessor. UF played through the spring with its bevy of backs each seeing time with the first-team on offense. While junior DeShawn Wynn might seem like the favorite because of sheer experience, Coach Urban Meyer could easily give the starting nod to either Skyler Thornton or Markus Manson. 'Wynn's opportunity to impress Meyer came in the spring and he delivered by running hard on a daily basis and keeping his attitude on a positive level. Upon arriving in Gainesville, Meyer singled out Wynn as one of the players that had to step up. After excelling as a freshman but suffering through a rocky sophomore season full of injuries and work ethic issues, Wynn's main Matt Marriott/ Alligator Staff DeShawn Wynn is the leading candidate to start at running back for the Gators. objectives will be consistency in effort and production. "Consistency is the key," Meyer said. "All the stories you've heard, well I've heard them too and this train's moving fast. Either he's going to jump on it or that's it for him." In an offense centered around speed, multiple options out of each formation and misdirection, Wynn is more of a bruiser back. However, don't let the heavy frame fool you, running backs Coach Stan Drayton said. "That's 228-pounds and we expect him to be a runner on contact," Drayton said. "He's got some deceptive speed and is a big back with great vision, great feet and there's going to be a lot of times where we see him explode into the secondary and make big plays." With Wynn sitting out the Orange and Blue game, the speedy Manson gave 58,500 fans and a coaching staff something to think about when he's coupled with a first-team offensiv, line. The redshirt freshman rushed 13 times for 72 yards. "There's .something different between those guys and he's the one guy that has legit sprinter speed," Drayton said. "He needs to be a threat, a home run threat, every time he gets in the setondary and is one on one to take it the distance." The other running back in the mix for immediate playing time is Thornton. Thornton's style is almost a blend of Wynn and Manson. Thornton has the speed, cut back ability and experience to thrive in the Gators' offense right away. Thornton's hard work, as well as injuries to Fason and Wynn, allowed Thornton to receive increased playing time toward the end of last season. Thornton delivered with several clutch runs against Florida State. "Playing late was a real big confidence booster, because that showed me that I can go out there and play with some of the best people in ,the nation," Thornton said. Joining the trio of backs will be true freshman Kestahn Moore. A Texas native, the 5-foot-10, 205pound Moore will provide depth at the position. If he receives playing time in 2005, it will most likely be on special teams. Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff Former UF walk-on David Eckstein is congratulated by St. Louis teammate Albert Pujols after hitting a home run during spring training. Eckstein and Pujols were both chosen as starters for the National League in tonight's All-Star Game. STAFF REPORT National League skipper Tony La Russa considers tonight's major league All-Star Game more than just a showcase for the fans. With a potential World Series home-field advantage for his St. Louis Cardinals on the line, he's willing to shake things up to win. "This is not a show," La Russa said. "It's not an exhibition. We keep score." In surprise move on Monday, La Russa revealed that former UF walk-on and current Cardinals shortstop David Eckstein will not bat at his typical leadoff spot when he makes his first All-Star Game appearance. Instead, La Russa tapped Phillies slugger Bobby Abreu to start things off for the visiting NL team. Eckstein, the only NL All-Star starter who serves as his team's regular leadoff man, will bat ninth -the "second leadoff man" sometimes used by American League teams. "I like that Bo Jackson type," La Russasaid of Abreu. "I like that damage up there in the first inning. "When you have talent like this on a squad, I don't think you can write a bad lineup. You can scramble them up, but I like everything that [Abreu] does offensively. He has a good strike zone. He runs the bases well. He hits rights, he hits lefts. We tried to get some damage early." Eckstein, the second baseman for the 1998 UF College World Series team, is hitting .284 with two homeruns, 24 RBI and a .370 on-base percentage in his first year with the Cardinals after coming from Anaheim last season. Eckstein, who wasn't selected by the play"This is all new to me. I've been playing a long time, but to be voted in by the fans is really nice. It's great the people have finally recognized." David Eckstein National League All-Star shortstop ers to participate, made the All-Star team after beating out Los Angeles' Cesar Izturis forthe starting shortstop spot in a fan poll. He now joins teammates Albert Pujols and Jim Edmonds in the starting NL lineup. Edmonds and All-Star reserve and Cardinals third baseman Scott Rolen also won the fans' balloting but didn't finish first or second in the in players' ballot. "[It's] pretty amazing," Eckstein said. "The fans have been great, and I know the St. Louis fans had'a lot to do with it." Amid competition from future Hall-of-Fame shortstops such as Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, Eckstein remained locked out of the All-Star Game before making the ju up to the NL. And hewasn't about to celebrate prematurely, despite owning a 500,000-vote lead over Izturis a day before the fan poll closed on July 3. "Nobody in my family had bought any plane tickets yet," he said. "This is all new to me. I've been playing a long time, but to be voted in by the fans is really nice. It's great the people have finally recognized -rt, not finally -but that they've recognized what you can do." ECk s t en t akle s *0 oln new b, attg b rV0 e i n mi1dsu m mer gamfte

20, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2005 Walsh, Roberson continue NBA summer play BASKETBA LL, from page 18 Just two weeks ago, Walsh dreamed of being drafted by the Miami Heat. On Saturday, Walsh played for the Heat summer league team with much less fanfare and little game action. Walsh played just seven minutes Miami's opener against Toronto, shooting 1-of-4 and scoring two points with no rebounds or assists. On Monday it was a different story Walsh responded with p solid effort against Dallas, scoring nine points on 4-of-8 shooting to go with eight rebounds and five assists. Roberson, meanwhile, put up consistent numbers in both of his summer outings. In Friday's opener against the Lakers, Roberson, playing for the Memphis Grizzlies, scored 13 points on 4-of-9 shooting to go with four assists. Roberson, trying to prove that he can be a NBA'point guard, did add four turnovers. On Sunday, Roberson once against shot 4-of-9 from the floor for 10 points, an assist and two steals. See alligatorSports.orgfor Lee's reaction Casey crucial to success at tight end position TRANSFER, from page 18 of games, the injury remained and Guthrie was redshirted. Meanwhile, freshman Tate Casey emerged as a threat and surprisingly finished the season with four touchdowns. But it apparently wasn't Casey's presence that threatened Guthrie. Meyer had planned to use both Guthrie and Casey on the field, but likely more as blockers than receivers. Harieta said Meyer tried to convince Guthrie to stay at UF, but to no avail. "[Meyer] tried really hard I think," Harieta said. "No one goes out on the field but the kids. Everything boils down to Dane. We can try to persuade him to stay, but [it's ultimately his decision]." While Casey proved he is a solid No. 1 tight end last year, now Meyer finds himself in a tough situation. If Casey suffers an injury or a sophomore slump, Meyer really has no second option. At 6-foot-6, 264 pounds, Markell Thompson has plenty of size, but he proved little in his junior season after transferring from junior college. And the only incoming freshman tight end, Brian Ellis, didn't qualify academically and won't play for UF in 2005. HILL TRANSFERS: Defensive tackle Michael Hill will also leave UP.

But the entire story seems awfully shady. Why would the Seminoles rule out playing Sexton for the entire season at this early date? And why would Lyme disease make Sexton yell like a madman in the middle of a street? That's not a symptom of Lyme disease, it's a symptom of absurdity. Stay tuned, the Summer of '05 is just getting hot. That's a scary thought. I
