Shuttle stays grounded


By EVA KIS
Alligator Staff Writer
ekis@alligator.org

CAPE CANAVERAL The
seven astronauts aboard Space
Shuttle Discovery face a "best-case
scenario" three-day wait as NASA
technicians determine the specifics
of a fuel-sensor malfunction that
"scrubbed" Wednesday's launch.
"All I can say is shucks," Space
Shuttle Program Deputy Manager
Wayne Hale said. "We were ready
to go. It was clearly a launch -
criteria violation; it took us five-
minutes to confirm
State that."
News NASA adminis-
trator Mike Griffin
said a check of the four sensors
inside the bottom of Discovery's
main fuel tank that measure liq-
uid hydrogen which is ignited
with a separate tank of oxygen for
thrust found one of them to be
malfunctioning two hours before
takeoff.
"We're beginning a trouble-
shooting procedure to work it
out," Griffin said.
Though all four sensors in the
system measure hydrogen levels
and thus are redundant, there was
no way to know the sensor was
faulty until the fuel tank was filled,
which is done after the shuttle is
rolled out to the launch pad.
"You don't need all four to fly
- you have to have all four to
commit to launch," NASA spokes-
woman June Malone said.

Editor's note: This is the
first of a series of stories
taking a closer look at
the.hidden structures of
Student Government.
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org

It's dirty. We need it to
eat, drive and give our mom
flowers. We need it to become
a Gator. We need it to "Go
Greek." And we might need
to fork some over in order to
run for Student Government
offices.
It's called dough, or green-
backs it's money.
UF's Greek system is 61
chapters strong, claiming
4,582 active members at the
end of Spring 2005.
"I think. initially people
join for the social connec-
tion," Director of Greek
Life Chris Bullins said. "A
fraternity or sorority offers a
smaller place for them to find
a connection."
But the 14 percent of UF's
population that call like-
minded- Greek friends their
"family away from home" do
so at a price.

Housing starts e-mail roommate notification system


* OFFICIALS ALSO HOPE TO ALLOW
RENT PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD.

By CASSIDY MILLS
Alligator Contributing Writer

UF's Department of Housing will in-
troduce a new roommate and housing
notification system for Fall that will allow
incoming students to receive their housing
assignments about a month earlier than last
year.


After going
undrafted, for-
mer UF guard
Matt Walsh
struck back
at his critics.
Walsh soon will
sign with the
Miami Heat.
See story, pg.
22.


Housing spokeswoman Sharon Blansett
said this year the building assignments
would be mailed on the first bill for rent
sent to new students.
Following the bill, the department plans'
to send two identical e-mails to students
that include a mailing address and contact
information for roommates, she said.
The duplicate e-mail is to be sent about a
week after the original in case students run
into technical problems retrieving the first
e-mail. The e-mails will be sent to students'
Gatorlink accounts.

the future is to have room assignments on
UF's portal so that you can check housing
assignments like you can check grades on
ISIS."
The new system was tested during
Summer B on a much smaller group before
a decision was made for the future.
"We ran this test to see if the program
would work and it did," Blansett said.
"We're planning for the same success in
the Fall."

documents.
Bullins said the rates
fluctuate between $300
and $1,200 per semester,
depending upon what
dues the organizations' na-
tional headquarters require,
fluctuations in insurance
premiums and overhead
expenditures.
He said the money can
never be used to purchase
alcohol.
However, Bullins said
UF's corps of Greek organiza-
tions try hard not to let cost
prohibit potential members
from joining.
"Chapters will offer pay-
ment plans," he said. "They
work really, really hard to
ensure that people don't join
based on the financial bar-
rier."
He said some Greek orga-
nizations offer partial and full
scholarships.
SG General
Organizational Liaison
MacKenzie Moritz, who ran
for Student Body President
as a member of the Progress
Party in the Spring 2005
elections, said Greek organi-
zations have solid opinions
that sometimes are pushed
onto their members.

SHUTTLE, from page 1


If the rocket does not detach in time,
which was a risk as the sensor was stuck on
"wet," indicating the tank was full, serious
damage could result to the shuttle's engines.
A similar problem occurred during test-
ing in April, which NASA opted to resolve
by replacing the tank entirely, including all
the wiring and miscellaneous parts. The new
tank and sensors functioned properly during
testing earlier in the day.
"As all electronics owners know, there's
nothing more annoying than an intermittent
flaw," Griffin said.
This wasn't the first incident that threat-
ened to postpone Wednesday's mission. A
window cover from Discovery's cockpit fell
off in the morning, damaging some of the
shuttle's heat. shielding; however, the tiles
were replaced and posed no delay to the
launch schedule.
Those same heat-resistant tiles along
the wings of Columbia were damaged by
a chunk of insulating foam sprayed on the
shuttle's external fuel tanks that came loose
during liftoff.


When the shuttle does take off, Discovery
will mark the United States' return to
manned spaceflight for the first time since
Columbia disintegrated during re-entry in
February 2003.
Griffin himself was involved in a
Department of Defense project that involved
14 "scrubs," or cancellations.
"This is nothing," he said.
NASA officials will meet with technicians
early Friday morning and, based on their
findings, hold a management meeting that
afternoon.
The next possible launch window opens
Saturday at 2:40 p.m.
Members of the Senate Subcommittee
on Science and Space were also in Cape
Canaveral for the launch. The group, which
is in the process of drafting a new appro-
priations bill for NASA, said today's incident
will have no bearing on the provisions of
their legislation to be presented to the Senate
Subcommittee on Science, Technology and
Space today.
"This is a success story," Sen. Byron
Dorgan said. "The success was the NASA
team identifying the problem. Think of the
alternative."

Concert bill passed


By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org

The Student Senate passed a bill
Tuesday granting $10,000 to Student
Government Productions so UF's
entertainment bureau can put on
a trial-size Christian rock concert,
"Engage," in September.
The small scale of the concert,
which will be free to students, will.
test students' enthusiasm for a larger
affair, SGP chairman Joey Van de
Bogart said.
While SGP has not yet begun
negotiations with performers, two
popular national acts Blindside
and Skillet are being considered,
to be supported by two local bands.
Former Gator Christian Life
President Galen Wood originally
asked Van de Bogart to approve a
$60,000 concert. Lacking room in his
budget, Van de Bogart sent him to


the Senate for funding.
"Next year, maybe it'll be a
$20,000 concert," Van de Bogart said.
"And the years after that, it'll get big-
ger and bigger."
Van de Bogart clarified the con-
cert's sponsor-
Student ship at Tuesday's
GOVernient Senate meet-
ing. Because
GCL is not budgeted by Student
Government, it only has creative in-
put. SGP will make all financial-and
production decisions.
Production costs not met by SG's
$10,000 budget will come from SGP
reserves.
Wood said he expects non-
Christians to enjoy the show, where
they will be exposed to Christian
beliefs but won't be evangelized.
"We're not trying to convert ev-
erybody," he said. "It's going to be a
pretty rockin' concert. It's not going
to be like a church service at all."

Google Earth opens up world


By DOUGLAS BONEPARTH
Alligator Contributing Writer

Fly from Gainesville to Tokyo in seconds.
Google Earth, a new satellite-based geograph-
ical search engine, allows users to fly from space
to street level to research geographic information
and explore places around the globe.
At the click of the "search" button, Google
Earth takes them wherever they want.
"Google Earth utilizes broadband streaming
technologyand 3-D graphics, much like a video
game, enabling users to interactively explore
the world either their own neighborhood or
the far comers of the globe," said John Hanke,
general manager for Keyhole, Google Inc., in a
press release.
Aside from.virtually traveling anywhere on
the planet, searches can be localized to find in-
formation like hotels, restaurants, schools, parks,
banks and transportation. It can even record-
driving directions and play it back to the user.
Users can combine multiple layers of informa-
tion, such as cross-referencing school districts with
address look-ups of available homes, business
listings and public transportation, and save their
results for later use, according to the press release.
"The geographical information is supplied
by various data providers," said Youliang Qiu,


teaching assistant for the department of geogra-
phy. "Then Google Earth integrates Google's lo-!
cal search data, similar to online Yellow Pages."
Google Earth's impact could reach beyond
personal use and may reshape how professionals
gather and understand information.
"It's a phenomenal tool," said Mike Foley, mas-
ter lecturer in the department of journalism. "To
be able to find out where some-
thing is that fast is amazing."
He said Google Earth could
help journalists comprehend
information by exploring rela-
tionships on many levels. J
l "I have my students write
stories which involve loca-
Foley tions they probably have not
Journalism lecturer been to," Foley said. "Students
and reporters can verify that
information with this tool."
Qiu said while Google Earth may not have a
large impact on geography science, it will help the
public with understanding such information.
"Students and professionals will definitely
have a clearer idea when it comes to answering
any question related to where something is,"
Qiu said.
Google Earth is free to download at http://
earth.google.com.

Funding barrier halts non-Greek SG hopefuls


MONEY, from page 1


"I definitely believe that they
(Greeks) are encouraged by their hous-
es to vote for a certain party," he said.
"Greek houses are allowed to be an
official sponsor. They're going to have
a stance and they are entitled to share
that stance with their members."
And they are abundant in SG.
Sixty percent of SG executive offi-
cers are Greek, including six out of nine
SG agency heads.
SG adviser Chris Cupoli said his
organization is anything but one-di-
mensional.
"I think it's a lot more diverse than
people give it credit for," he said. "The
culture groups may have more of a
hold than a Greek chapter would."
Bullins said high involvement is just
the nature of the Greek system.
"Our students do a lot of com-
munity service," he said. "They get
great exposure to leadership training. I
think that's what keeps them interested
- the ability to grow as a person."
But the Spring 2005 election had
Impact Party Presidential Candidate
Dennis Ngin seeing green.


"I cannot see someone who is run-
ning for Student Body President with
$100 in their pocket winning the elec-
tion," he said. "If you don't have a lot of
money, it's going to make it that much
harder to win."
Ngin donated $2,800 to his cause.
"I think the administration and the
students can agree that SG needs a
makeover," he said. "People take it too
seriously. I think that's the problem."
The Impact Party reported spending
a total of $12,482 for the campaign and
the Progress Party spent $9,071 by the
end of their run.
The Moritz family contribution to
the Progress Party was $6,970 but their
former hopeful said money isn't much
of an object when running for Student
Body President.
"I do think it's possible to do with-
out very much money," Moritz said. "It
definitely helps to have money."
Charles Grapski, a teaching assis-
tant who has involved himself in SG for
almost 20 years, said the money factor
may prohibitpotential candidates from
running.
"Money is a major barrier," he said.
"There's no way for an average student
to put together a campaign. It's just
impossible."


The Gator Party spent $18,656 in the
Spring, more than both Progress and
Impact, and won 38 out of 46 possible
Senate seats in the SG elections.
Gator Party senatorial candidates
coughed up $75 each to be on the
ticket, and the family of Student Body
President Joe Goldberg gave $4,675
toward the campaign.
Goldberg was the only presidential
candidate to have Greek affiliation.
Goldberg, who has been a member
of Phi Delta Theta fraternity since
Spring 2002, said his party would have
won without the deep pockets.
"I think in any campaign, money is
going to be an asset because it enables
you to get the word out about your
campaign," he said. "I think money's
an asset but I don't think it's essential
to becoming an executive. I think that
our message was on point."
Goldberg said he knows of SG cam-
paigns that have hit the $40,000 mark.
"It's been all over the board," he said.
He said SG just finds the best man
for the job when conducting searches
for its higher-ups.
"I don't know who's Greek," he said.
"We don't take affiliations into account. I
want someone who can get things done
and is qualified for the job."


E-mail will save money

HOUSING, from page 1

The system is expected to save a considerable
amount of time and money.
With more than 7,000 students moving on cam-
pus this Fall, the postage and staff time it would
take to mail each housing assignment is substan-
tial, Blansett said.
"If I had been able to know my roommate ear-
lier it would have been so much easier to know
what to pack and know who it is that
you're moving in with," said former
LifStudent resident adviser Erica Scicchitano,
Life-- who lived on campus for two years. "It
would have relieved a lot of my stress
about moving away for the first time."
Early room assignments are not the only aspect
of dorm life the Department of Housing looks to
change.
"We are actively working on being able to ac-
cept credit card payments for rent. Right now
we're just dealing with technical and procedural
difficulties," Blansett said.
Housing is also trying to create an online lease
agreement, although Blansett noted there are ma-
jor-challenges her department must overcome to
make this a viable option.

to space was again delayed Wednesday: It's get-
ting mighty old.
The Shuttle is 33 years old, as a working concept, and
24 years old as a flyable space vehicle.
So as the Shuttle program reaches middle age, we must
consider how the craft's return to space will aid President
Bush's semi-ambitious plan to explore strange new worlds
like Mars.
There's no doubt about it it is a necessity for human-
ity to devote a significant amount of time and money to
space exploration.
Furthermore, it is crucial to our development as a race.
The monumental obstacles overcome by NASA in the
1960s, to get not only into space but to see two men on the
moon by decade's end, are synonymous with America's
power to accomplish the impossible when necessary.
Apollo 11, which lifted off 36 years ago this -week,
didn't have as much computing power as a pocket calcu-
lator. It took several years and at least three human lives
to get the go-ahead.
But when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on
the moon, we stood proudly, our power on the world stage
unmatched for one shining moment.
It didn't seem off the mark, back in 1969, to envision
the turn of the 21st Century as an age of multiple-planet
exploration and technology beyond comprehension.
Even after the programs were scaled down severely
in the 1970s, NASA's endeavor to innovate brought us so
many new technologies we take them for granted more
than 1,500 of them.
One thing separated our plan from any others that have
come before or since. Money.
That's what we need.
NASA's budget was roughly $30 billion (in 2005 dol-
lars) in the mid-1960s, compared with about $16 billion
today. If it cost us $30 billion a year to go to the moon, how
will half that amount get us to Mars' doorstep?
The truth is, NASA doesn't know. Nor does the federal
government the projected timeline for space travel, as
released by a cooperative effort of several agencies, has
moon travel feasible again by 2020, with first foot on Mars
undetermined.
It doesn't seem to make sense that we have to wait 15
years to get where we were four decades ago; in fact, it
becomes clear we're not putting enough into the program
to get anything useful out of it.
So all the effort having been expended to get a twenty-
something symbol of our obsolescence into orbit seems a
waste, when we could probably save our money and de-
vote it to newer programs.
Private firms are working to join the Shuttle and the
Russian craft Soyuz in the heavens by the end of the decade.
And replacements for the Shuttle, which will be neces-
sary to make the leap to other planets, have been on the
drawing board since before the Shuttle's first launch. As
of today, no working models exist to our knowledge, even
conceptually.
It's a comforting sight to see people in space, but it's
not comforting enough when our commitment to advance-
ment is considered.
Let's ground the Shuttle and move on.

ALLIGATOR!

We don't know enough to judge Rove


ust so we're clear, let's get one thing out of the way first:
If Karl Rove leaked Valerie Plame's name directly or
indirectly then he should be fired.
President Bush promised he would remove anyone who
participated in the leak from his administration, and he
should follow through on his promise.
But until that is proven, everybody needs to back off and
let the investigators do their jobs.
Liberals already are up in arms, demanding that Bush
fire Rove and openly criticizing him and White House Press
Secretary Scott McClellan for avoiding questions about
Rove's involvement.
Do you want to know why they're avoiding these ques-
tions?
Maybe, just maybe, it's because they -don't know the
answers.
I know we all think President Bush has a magic crystal
ball that lets him know each and every thing that goes on in
the world, but let's assume for a second that maybe it's not
working at the moment.
The rallying cry against Bush today is that he "misled the
public" about Rove in the same way that he misled the public
about nuclear weapons in Iraq which, of course, is a whole
separate argument that I won't go into.
Let's say you lie to someone. They believe you and then
go around spreading the lie, believing it to be true. Are they,
then, a liar?
I don't think so.
Bush originally said he had talked to Rove and that Rove
had no involvement in the leak.
Read between the lines: Bush talked to Rove, and Rove
told him he wasn't involved.
Bush took Rove's word for it. What other choice did he
have?
Do those who are crying "liar" think Bush has access to
Rove's or Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper's e-mail
accounts?


Thus far, that's the only evidence
presented against Rove: an e-mail
sent from Cooper to his boss stating
that Rove leaked the information.
That's pretty damning informa-
tion. No debate there.
Matt Sanchez It's also not information that Bush
Editorial Notebook or his administration likely were
msanchez@alligator.org privy to before everyone else was.
It also doesn't prove Rove's in-
volvement by itself, though it does
make that outcome seem inevitable.
I'm not saying the Bush administration didn't know.
Maybe they did.
I'm saying that we can't assume our political opponents
have been lying to us every time they are found to be wrong
- even if they don't have a very good track record.
No one knows that much.
Not even the president.
All of this bickering between Democrats and Republicans
about who's playing nice is making our government seem
more and more like a bunch of spoiled kids fighting over
who gets to be X's and who gets to be O's.
Maybe it's too much to ask, but how about we all set aside
our this-person-isn't-liberal/conservative-like-I-am-so-they-
must-be-wrong-on-every-possible-subject thoughts and try
being rational for a change?
If Rove is guilty, but he doesn't get fired, then liberals
have my permission to storm the White House and call for
blood.
I Until then, let's try to remember that whole "innocent
until proven guilty" thing we Americans go on so much
about, and the fact that President Bush isn't the most likely
person to have developed mind-reading capabilities.

Guest .:oL: T

'Fair trade' too complex for newspaper column


In no way could Christian Waugh have given
an adequate analysis of the difference be-
tween fair trade and free trade in Tuesday's
Alligator. There's just not enough space. I
thought I'd add a few points, though:
How is fair trade different from free trade?
Defining either is tricky.
I've been an advocate for fair trade for two
years now as a member of Students Making
Trade Fair. In that time, the members brought
Fair Trade Certified coffee to both Java City and
Starbucks on campus, with the help of Gator
Dining Services and Student Government.
Fair trade coffee can be a great tasting prod-
uct with a great socially-responsible message.
As Waugh's column stated: "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, environ-
mental protection and tariffs."
He's right. Established more than thirty
years ago in Europe, Fair Trade Certification
organizes farmers on cooperatives, where they
can grow coffee beans on small plots of land,
pool their crop yields together and sell it on the
international market.
The cooperatives don't sell to middlemen,
who are known to buy cheap and sell high.
Instead, the cooperatives directly sell to a coffee


Claudia Adrien :-'.t--tr Apercentage of
Speaking Out the profits go toward
education and health
care programs benefit-
ing the cooperative.
Unlike coffee beans purchased by roasters
such as Maxwell House or Sara Lee, fair trade
coffee must be produced with environmentally
strict standards. Trees cannot be cleared to grow
the crop, and many cooperatives use entirely
organic farming methods.
These coffee farmers receive small loans and
operate under the strict supervision of indepen-
dent third-party agencies.
Is this regulation? Yes. Does fair trade have
its own system of tariffs? Yes. Is it governmen-
tally regulated? No.
Despite political affiliations, fair trade ap-
peals to those on opposite ends of the political
spectrum. The.U.S. House of Representatives
in 2002 unanimously supported a fair trade
resolution.
There's a demand for fair trade and the sup-
ply is growing. The demand for the product
comes out of the public's desire to have socially
responsible goods.
This is an essential motivating factor when
more than 25 million farming families live un-
der extreme poverty. Poverty surrounds coffee


because the industry is cornered by four domi-
nant multinationals.
So, instead of seeking governmental regula-
tion, which didn't work decades earlier for the
coffee industry, the competition provided by
fair trade forces many of these companies to
make change.
Proctor & Gamble now sells a line of fair
trade coffee. And Kraft is willing to work with
other certification processes, like Rainforest
,Alliance, to create more environmentally sensi-
tive growing conditions for their beans.
Ideally, free trade is thought of as an uninter-
rupted exchange of goods and services. I think
this notion must be re-examined.
In all of history, especially in the history of
democracies, there's always been some form
of government intervention and a system of
tariffs.
To advocate free trade in its purest sense
could never realistically occur if societies choose
to live with government.
Fair trade is a self-regulating industry with
socially responsible practices.
It's not communism. It's not anarchy. It's just
better business.
Claudia R. Adrien, a former Alligator reporter
and columnist, is co-president of Students Making
Trade Fair.

Beer Pong skips out of houses, bounces to venues


By ANGIE DE ANGELS
Avenue Writer

Standing in front of a shiny, freshly painted
red wooden table at downtown Gainesville's
Market Street Pub, Matthew Chavez ignores
everything else around him. He doesn't
see the two girls standing next to the table,
their blond hair, pink tank tops and occa-
sional swaying giving them the appearance
of slightly tipsy cheerleaders. He doesn't hear
the muffled music pouring from the overhead
speakers through the crowd, nor does he smell
the spilled beer on the hardwood floor as it
forms slippery puddles around him.
With only a strip of small yellownspotlights
shining down on him, Chavez concentrates
only on the small yellow Ping-Pong ball in
his hand. His goal: To sink that ball into the

Beer Pong, a game that for years has been
popular in college towns across the coun-
try, popping up at parties, fraternities and
drunken gatherings of all sorts, is now making
its way into more public areas, like bars and
clubs.
Market Street Pub is only one of a handful
of Gainesville bars to host special Beer Pong
tournament nights. Other places include
Jewells Bar and Lounge, Joe's Deli and the
rfew Purple Porpoise Pub.
Because summertime in Gainesville is gen-
erally slower and more mellow than the Fall
and Spring semesters, some of these places
are waiting until the Fall to really expand their
Beer Pong activities.

AUDITIONS

'Top Model' hopefuls will strut to Gainesville try-outs


By MELISSA THOMPSON
Contributing Writer

At five-foot-eight and 150
pounds, UF junior Esther Michaud
is the first person to admit she is no
Paris Hilton.
A far cry from the blonde-haired,
pencil-thin heiress turned model,
the dark-featured Haitian American
hopes her diverse look will help
her stand out among hundreds of
local women, ages 18 to 27, vying
for a role on season six of UPN's hit
reality show "America's Next Top
Model."
"I think there are too many
stereotypical models out there,"


Michaud said. "I would like to be
a positive role model and project an
image of how normal people look."
On July 15, Gainesville affiliate
UPN 11 will hold a local casting
call at the Best Western Gateway
Grand for young women interested
in competing for a spot on the show,
created by supermodel Tyra Banks,
and a potential modeling contract.
Auditions are limited to the
first 100 entrants. Applicants must
bring two forms of .identification, a
completed application, available at
http://www.wgfl.com, and three
photographs to the Gateway Grand
Ball Room between 3 and 5 p.m. The
photos must include a head shot, a


full-length' swimsuit photo and a
full-length clothed photo.
Although Gainesville will not
become a bustling college town
until the Fall, Joe Grant, director of
marketing and promotions at UPN
11, is confident there will be a signifi-
cant turnout.
"We're excited to conduct the
auditions and thought it would be a
fun thing to do," Grant said.
The station is promoting the
audition by airing commercials on
the network and placing advertise-
ments in local newspapers. Grant
also noted more than 100 hits on
the station's Web site suggesting
a growing interest in the contest


among the local viewing area.
After registration, applicants
will be placed into groups for a
three-minute filmed interview.
Each woman will introduce her-
self, demonstrate a catwalk down
a runway and answer questions
including why she is the next top
model.
Michaud, a long time fan of the
show, performs well under pres-
sure.
"I'm not nervous at all," she
said. "I'm not afraid to tell people
what I really think. I'm really ex-
cited."
UPN. casting directors in
California will choose 12 final-


ists. Film production for the show
will begin in October 2005, and
episodes will air during the 2006
season. If contestants miss the lo-
cal casting call, they still can send
applications and videotapes by
mail to the UPN network until
July 22.

to fight cancer, has paved the way for a trend
of rubber bracelets that tout awareness as fashion.
Unfortunately, it seems that wearing one may be harbor-
ing a negative connotation.
While doing research for a previous article on ward-
robe pet peeves, I met a number of people who men-
tioned the wristbands, saying they were lame.
This kind of pissed me off because unlike other cloth-
ing styles, this one doesn't come with
a price tag and supports one of the -'"
noblest ideals human survival.
Similar to the jelly bracelets from
elementary school, the soft bangles
come in every color under the spec-
trum, each one demonstrating for a .
different cause from poverty preven-
tion to water purity to counteracting disease.
Throughout your day, you are guaranteed to see a
rainbow of them adorning the arms of celebrities, pass-
ersby, colleagues and friends. I've even seen individuals
with them around their ankles.
When was the last time you donned a fashion that
championed anything other than yourself?
I realize that in this town and on this campus, we are
a population of young adults. We are works in progress,
having not fully come into our own, but don't you think
we are a little young to be portraying ourselves as cyni-
cal, misanthropic dolts? -
Such a sentiment seems to be sprouting nationwide
as well. My best friend in Minneapolis recently went out
on a very bad date with a guy who was not only bor-
ing, but happened to be wearing a yellow Livestrong@
band.Was the armlet the deal breaker? Not necessarily,
but she'd be lying if she said it didn't carry a slight nega-
tive stigma.


On the other hand, there are those who slip them on
simply to follow mode independent of the statement.
This is your Fashion a Go-Go telling you there is
nothing savvy about being superficial.
If you don one without advocating its purpose, I
guess the world wouldn't have to know, unless you
foolishly practice self-disclosure.
Sellers on eBay also exploiting the trend by auction-
ing wristbands without disclaiming charitable auspices.
So, it's likely they're making money from false philan-
thropy.
Marketers are cheapening the
Christine fashion, too. Bracelets are popping
Steffens up everywhere that declare nothing
Fashion a Go-Go to do with humanitarian concern
theavenue@alligator.org unless you consider Playboy a
worthy conviction.
I own a white band for the ONE
Campaign against poverty in Africa. I am a true patron
of the cause and have been for months now. Though I
don't always wear the armlet'because that's my choice,
it's not under false pretenses when I do.
Let's just think about this for a moment it-took a
terrorist attack claiming thousands of lives to pull the
rug out from under us and recognize the value of our
existence. We were nice and respectful to one another
and smiled at complete strangers for no reason.
Perhaps in the wake of the most recent London as-
saults, conveniently timed during the G8 summit for hu-
man rights, this is not so subtle a reminder that we need
to regroup and rally around one another.
The bottom line is, though the wristbands may not
always match your outfit, everything goes with good
intention.
You don't have to be in vogue with your clothing, but
how about the way you live?
After all, life is style, too.


Game jump-starts craze


BEER, from page 9

Market Street. "In the Fall, it's
going to be crazy."
Ask anyone who plays
or even watches Beer Pong
games, and they'll tell you
there's much more to the
game, though.
"The more drunk people
get, the more impressive it
gets," says Esa Khan, 21, a UF
math major, who was cheer-
ing his friends on as they
played at Market Street.
Local bars are using Beer
Pong tournaments to attract
customers into their busi-
nesses, using beer and poten-
tial prizes as bait. First prize is
usually cash or other prizes,
like gift certificates, bar tabs
and other rewards.
At Market Street alone,
the numbers are increasing.
While only about 15 teams of
two registered the first week,
about 20 to 25 teams signed
up at the latest tournament.
However, many people
have never played the game
or even heard of it, if they're


not from the area.
Matt Glossop, 30, a British
native who works in the UF
physics department, brought
his visiting friend from
England, Niall Maclean, 33,
to watch the game.
"We've never seen any-
thing like this before," says
Glossop, as he and his friend
watch the drunken sport be-
ing played at multiple tables
around them. "We don't have
anything like this in the UK."
Whether they come to
play for cash prizes or just to
drink, the basic point of Beer
Pong seems to be the same for
everyone.
"You meet new people,
have fun and drink beer,"
says Courtney Ward, 23, a
UF business administra-
tion major, who helps run
the Wednesday night Beer
Pong tournaments at Market
Street.
As she says this, a fellow
Beer Pong player, probably a
few beers into the game, stops
in to put in his two cents.
"Everybody gets drunk
and everyone wins," he says.

Nallflowers deserve revisiting


The Wallflowers
Rebel, Sweetheart
Interscope Records
May 24, 2005


Almost a decade
after The Wallflowers released
ieir hit "One Headlight," it's
me to bring attention to this rock
roup once again.
The band's fifth album hit the
tores without much fanfare, and
Rebel, Sweetheart" could be one
f the most underrated albums of
he summer.
The Wallflower's signature
found is all over this record; just


straight-ahead rock 'n roll that
takes influence from Springsteen
and Petty.
Though the melodies are some-
what predictable, and at times it'll
make you think, "God, this is so
'90s alt rock," you can still listen
to the album proudly with the
windows down in your car.
Lead singer Jakob Dylan's
gritty voice (thanks to dad, the
legendary Bob Dylan) and his
poetic songwriting are what make
The Wallflowers so magnetic.
Dylan's lyrics are rich with
imagery and range from personal
relationships to the war in Iraq.


One notable track is "God Says
Nothing Back," on which Dylan
sings, "God says nothing but I
told you so."
Though the content is pretty
dark, it won't. leave you feeling
depressed. The band success-
fully contrasts the subject matter
and the melody, which takes on a
lighter tone than the lyrics.
If you pick up this CD, make
sure to hear the band's new-
est single, "The Beautiful Side
of Somewhere" and "Days of
Wonder."

Social smokers

grouped with pack
've recently made a not-so-popular transition in my dat-
ing identity. Sometime in Spring, I changed from a non-
smoker to a social smoker.
Now in my opinion, habits are habits.
I floss more often than I smoke, but no one ever re-
quests "floss advocate" in personal ads or roommate
applications. The dating distinction between smokers
and nonsmokers though is much more dramatic. Even
though I'd rather be categorized as part of the clean-teeth
brigade, that label may not be how most people see me.
So, as a part of the increasingly common club of only-
when-I'm-drinking tobacco-users, I realized I didn't know
where I fit in the spectrum any longer.
Since I rarely buy cigarettes, I'm not a consistent smoker.
However, any number of strangers wouldn't know that. after
seeing me bumming a clove from my friends at the bar.
As a social smoker, was I already branded and boxed with
the pack-a-day types?
My friends gave mixed reviews when I asked whether
or not I counted as "a
smoker."
Mr. Lube One friend, who
Risque Business cringes anytime
theavenue@alligator.org someone mentions
smoking,. considered
me un-datable. He
said he dated a guy
who, like me, only enjoyed cigarettes in combination with
alcohol. My friend could still smell the smoke on the guy's
clothes and could taste it in his mouth without ever being
near a lit cigarette.
On the other hand, another nonsmoker-only friend said
my nicotine consumption was acceptable.
Then, I went to the out-and-proud smokers to hear
about the grass on their side of the fence.
While the inhaling choices of their sporadic dates was
really a toss up, all my smoking friends were in relation-
ships with only fellow smokers.
It seems like the population filters itself.
But still the question remains for my fellow social
smokers and me. As it seems, we go both ways.
While I love the feeling of perpetual distraction that
comes from mixing nicotine and alcohol, I know I can get
the same affect from caffeine.
As well, using my search for a light to spark conver-
sation with strangers has produced some fun memories.
However, I'm rarely at a loss for words, especially if al-
cohol is about.
Even though I have enjoyed my experiences with the
cancer sticks, I'm not sure I'm really ready for the stigma
or the label.
When -it comes to smoking and me, I might just be
burnt out.

12, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, JULY 14,2005


Bookstores will host magical festivities to welcome 'Half-Blood Prince'


POTTER, from page 8

Though it sounds like a bad pun on the
book's title, LifeSouth Community Blood
Centers' blood mobile will be in Books-A-
Million's parking lot July 16 and will raffle
off copies of the new book to donors. Center
Stage also will set up a magic booth in the
store for the pre-release celebration
Other stores have smaller events planned.
Barnes & Noble's festivities begin at 9 p.m.
on Friday. The store will give away posters
and have a face-painting booth.
Joe Simmons, corporate sales representa-
tive at Borders, said he is expecting a mob of
Harry Potter fans in the store Friday.
"I'm a little hesitant, but it should be
fun," he said.
Borders will basically be a big activity
room for children, he said. Some of the ac-
tivity tables will involve making magic po-
tions and others will feature wizard duels.
Simon & Schuster is the store's main
sponsor and will provide prizes like post-
ers and bookmarks to winners of the house
cup challenge, which will involve trivia and
possibly costumes, Simmons said.
Even local Gainesville bookstores like
Goerings Book Store will stay open later for
Harry Potter fans.


Goerings' event will begin at 10 p.m.,
said Mary Ann Emerson, a Goerings em-
ployee.
Last year, the store opened the sealed
boxes at 11:45 p.m. and distributed the prod-
uct to customers. At the stroke of midnight,
it began selling the books to customers.
Emerson said the store would probably
use the same procedure this year.
Goerings is also partnering with Mike
and Lisa Manfredi at Sweet Dreams
Homemade Ice Cream, Coffee and Desserts.
Each customer who comes to the celebration
will receive one free scoop of ice cream arid
can also purchase a one-time-only butter-
beer-flavor ice cream. -
Emerson said the contract Goerings
signed with Scholastic had strict clauses
that prevented it from marketing Harry
Potter merchandise without the publisher's
permission.
However, Emerson said when she called
Scholastic and explained what the store was
trying to do, the publishing company told
her items such as a butterbeer-flavor ice
cream would be acceptable for the July 15
event.
"People have been asking, 'Are you go-
ing to be open Harry Potter night because,
if you are, I want to get my book from
Goerings,'" Mike Manfredi said.

Walsh to sign $1 million contract with Miami Heat


By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligaLor.org

Shaq, Dwyane Wade ... Matt
Walsh?
In a surprising reversal of
fortune, the former Gators guard
will sign a partially guaranteed
contract with the Miami Heat in
late July, and may find himself on
Miami's opening day roster.
Critics lambasted Walsh's de-
cision to leave UF following his
junior year, believing he wasn't
ready for the NBA.
Initially it appeared like a poor
decision on Walsh's part he
wasn't selected in the NBA Draft
- but he continued to believe he
would land a pro contract as a
free agent.
Now, Walsh will sign a two-
year contract believed to be
worth more than $1 million.
"It feels great," Walsh said.
"I'm definitely excited after some
of the negative stuff that was said
after the Draft."
Walsh's father, Mike, and
agent, Jason Levien, received a
bulk of the criticism for possibly
swaying Matt to enter the Draft,
but all along the Walsh camp
said the Heat were interested
in Matt and likely would have
drafted him had former Kansas
forward Wayne Simien not been
available.
Now, the Heat gets Simien and


Walsh, and the Walsh family can
breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's been a little hectic," Walsh
said. "I'm happy, obviously, for
myself, and I had confidence this
was going to happen. I'm happy
for my dad, agent and AAU
coach. After everyone said [those
three] made a bad decision, they
get to say 'screw you.'"

Role on Heat
Walsh will be teamed up with
former UF forward Udonis Haslem,
who signed a new five-year contract
with Miami on Tuesday expected to
be worth almost $34 million.
The Heat came
B within a game
W of reaching the
NBA Finals this
riepast year, falling
if to Detroit in the
seventh game
T wi of the Eastern
Haslem Conference fi-
nals.
But both Shaquille O'Neal and
Wade were banged up in the se-
ries, leaving many to anoint Miami
favorites to win the NBA title next
season.
Time will tell whether Walsh will
receive immediate playing time or
be stashed on the inactive list.
Under the new rules of the col-
lective bargaining agreement, first
and second year NBA players can
be sent to the developmental league


Haslem re-signs with Heat

Absurdity of Olympics, MLB fuel Sheffield's controversial comments


A three-year contract with the Yankees:
$39 million.

A chance to represent your country and its
national pastime in international competition:
worthless.
At the All-Star Game festivities in Detroit
on Monday, Yankees slugger Gary Sheffield
fired off a dicey remark, refusing to participate-
in March's 16-nation World Baseball Classic.
"My season is when I get paid," Sheffield
told the New York Daily News. "I'm not sacri-
ficing my body or taking a chance on an injury
for something thats made-up.
"This isn't the Olympics. That's a big differ-
ence. This is something you made up."
Great. Then just stay home, count your

ing on your girl, Sheff. Besides, the last thing
this country needs is to witness another Dream
Team turn into a nightmare. Right?
But greedy, self-centered rhetoric and all,
he has a point.
It's not the Olympics.
In a truly brilliant move on Friday, the
International Olympic Committee elected not
to include baseball and softball in competition
after the 2008 Beijing Games.
Clueless IOC president Jacques Rogge said
baseball would be allowed to return only if
it allowed its top players to compete and ap-
plied stiffer doping penalties.
But come on Monsieur Rogge. MLB su-
perstars earn more than some countries can
afford to fund their Olympic programs. And,
of course, owners, like George Steinbrenner,
who control capital worth more than the GDP

as a truly international sport. All it took was
about one MasterCard commercial and '3
hours, 3 minutes of an internationally flavored
home-run derby to figure out that one.
But why should baseball's biggest stars
serve as pawns in the MLB's vendetta with
the IOC?
Does baseball really want to disrupt spring
training with the Classic and risk injuries to its
superstars the same ones that put butts in
seats when it counts?
So don't be so quick to slam Sheffield. As
he said, "A lot of guys feel that way. They
won't say it like I will, though."
Just ask Yankees closer Mariano Rivera,
who said he wouldn't. participate in the
Classic unless "Mr. George" approved.
And for owners like Steinbrenner, such
words are priceless.

said that was not brought up.
"I'll fit in good," Walsh said.
"Anytime you can play with Shaq
you're going to get good, open
looks, and one of the things [Miami]
likes is my ability to hit open shots."
Assuming Miami makes no ma-
jor roster changes, Walsh will likely
compete with Rasual Butler and 19-
year-old Dorell Wright for a reserve
guard role.
"I learned my lesson a long
time ago. Never underestimate
Matt Walsh," Walsh's high school
coach Jim Fenerty said. "If the
Miami Heat needs a perimeter
guy with Shaq inside, or if they
need a scrappy guy that can get
rebounds, Matt Walsh will make
this team better."
Walsh played two games on
the Heat summer league team in
Los Angeles and arrived at the
L.A. Airport on Tuesday night
with plans to join Seattle's summer
league team.
Miami general manager Randy
Pfund told Walsh to keep his cell
phone charged.
With the battery -draining, a
nervous Walsh waited impatiently,
unsure whether he would board the
flight or receive the phone call of a
lifetime.
The plane ticket went to waste.
"It's unbelievable and a dream
come true," Walsh said. "I can't
[believe] I'm going to be teammates
with Shaq and Udonis."

Degory heads UF offensive line


* EXPERIENCED LINE IS ONE OF THE MOST
UNIQUE IN THE NATION.

By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Staff Writer
eesteban@ailigator.org

To call them the centerpiece of the offense would be an
understatement, but don't expect any of them to be on the
cover of NCAA Football 2007.
The offensive line is regarded as a position for the big
guys who just do as they're told. They don't score the
touchdowns, but rather win the game in the trenches.
If experience translates to success, the Gators' offensive
line could be the best one to play in the Swamp in quite
some time.
UF will field four seniors and a freshman on the 2005
starting line led by center Mike Degory. Degory, who has
started 38 consecutive games since his freshman year, was
recently named to the Outland Trophy Watch list. The tro-
phy is awarded to the best lineman in college football.
Degory, arguably one of the top three UF players on
either side of the ball, has been a mainstay at UF for three
years. With Coach Urban Meyer's offense still in the learn-
ing process, Degory's leadership and consistency will be
counted upon in 2005.
At 6-foot-7, 315 pounds, senior Lance Butler
switched sides on the offensive line, becoming the new


starter at the right tackle position. As another player
that will be counted on to provide leadership, Butler
believes the Gators' offensive line is one of the most
unique in the nation.
"I think that the guards want to push guys back,
but I think as an offensive line we are one of the more
mobile units in the country," he said. "We've got big
guys and most of us weigh in around 310 and can still
get out there and run and make plenty of plays down
field."
Left tackle Randy Hand and left guard Tavares
o o Washington are the other two
S -a *_ -jtr seniors on the side responsi-
Fgy ,~g ble for protecting quarterback
Chris Leak's blind side. In
an offense revolving around speed and misdirection,
Washington should be able to pull out and provide
excellent run blocking for the Gators' backfield.
He might seem like the odd guy out on the depth chart,
but redshirt freshman Jim Tartt was one of the pleasant
surprises in the spring.
"He's done really well, but he's just a really big, coun-
try, strong, tough guy," Butler said. "He can go out there
and just smash people in the face, and I know from talking
to [linebacker] Todd McCullough that running into that
kid is like running into a wall."
Sophomores Drew Miller and Phil Trautwein also will
be in the rotation this year along with junior Steve Rissler.


Roberson unsigned

WALSH, from page 22

Roberson remains
Two of UF's three early departures should play in the
NBA next season.
Forward David Lee, selected in the first round of
the NBA-Draft by the New York Knicks, will now be
engaged in a friendly rivalry with Walsh.
In the 1990s, Miami and New York were bitter rivals
in the NBA, and there is still animosity between the
teams.
Walsh hasn't spoken to Lee in recent weeks, but said
he looks forward to playing the former /UF star in the
NBA.
But it's still undetermined whether Roberson will
get his opportunity to join Walsh and Lee in the pros.
Since scoring 13 points for the Memphis Grizzlies
in their summer league opener, Roberson's numbers
have dropped. On Tuesday he scored just four points,.
but added four assists. Walsh believes a NBA team will
eventually sign Roberson to a free agent contract.
"Peep's out here in L.A. with me. We're staying in the
same hotel and we've been hanging a bit," Walsh said.
"He's playing well and has a real good opportunity [to
make the NBA]."

Not officially associated with the University VOLUME 98 ISSUE 159 the independent florida of Florida Publshed by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesville, Florda We Inform. You Decide. -~ ~a2~'"~ -~ ,'55 By EVA KIS Alligator Staff Writer ekis@alligator.org CAPE CANAVERAL The seven astronauts aboard Space Shuttle Discovery face a "best-case scenario" three-day wait as NASA technicians determine the specifics of a fuel-sensor malfunction that "scrubbed" Wednesday's launch. "All I can say is shucks," Space Shuttle Program Deputy Manager Wayne Hale said. "We were ready to go. It was clearly a launch criteria violation; it took us fiveminutes to confirm State that." NewS NASA administrator Mike Griffin said a check of the four sensors inside the bottom of Discovery's main fuel tank that measure liquid hydrogen -which is ignited with a separate tank of oxygen for thrust -found one of them to be malfunctioning two hours before takeoff. "We're beginning a troubleshooting procedure to work it out," Griffin said. Though all four sensors in the system measure hydrogen levels and thus are redundant, there was no way to know the sensor was faulty until the fuel tank was filled, which is done after the shuttle is rolled out to the launch pad. "You don't need all four to fly -you have to have all four to commit to launch," NASA spokeswoman June Malone said. A NASA security helicopter escorts astronauts back from the launch pad after the launch' is scrubbed at Cape Canaveral on Wednesday. The software that onitors the the fuel tank is empty and ready shuttle schedules ke events for the astronauts based n the sensor readings, which gnal when to detach, about eight-and-a-half minutes after launch. SEE SHUTTLE, PAGE 3 GOING GREEN Cash, status important Editor's note: This is the first of a series of stories taking a closer look at the hidden structures of Student Government. By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org It's dirty. We need it to eat, drive and give our mom flowers. We need it to become a Gator. We need it to "Go Greek." And we might need to fork some over in order to run for Student Government offices. It's called dough, or greenbacks -it's money. UF's Greek system is 61 chapters strong, claiming 4,582 active members at the end of Spring 2005. "I think initially people join for the social connection," Director of Greek Life Chris Bullins said. "A fraternity or sorority offers a smaller place for them to find a connection." But the 14 percent of UF's population that call likeminded. Greek friends their "family away from home" do so at a price. Chapter dues per semester run the average brother or sister $850, according to UF documents. Bullins said the rates fluctuate between $300 and $1,200 per semester, depending upon what dues the organizations' national headquarters require, fluctuations in insurance premiums and overhead expenditures. He said the money can never be used to purchase alcohol. However, Bullins said UF's corps of Greek organizations try hard not to let cost prohibit potential members from joining. "Chapters will offer payment plans," he said. "They work really, really hard to ensure that people don't join based on the financial barrier." He said some Greek organizations offer partial and full scholarships. SG General Organizational Liaison MacKenzie Moritz, who ran for Student Body President as a member of the Progress Party in the Spring 2005 elections, said Greek organizations have solid opinions that sometimes are pushed onto their members. SEE MONEY, PAGE 5 Housingo sitarta roo I UMmate notification sy tern E OFFICIALS ALSO HOPE TO ALLOW RENT PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD. By CASSIDY MILLS Alligator Contributing Writer UF's Department of Housing will introduce a new roommate and housing notification system for Fall that will allow incoming students to receive their housing assignments about a month earlier than last year. Housing spokeswoman Sharon Blansett said this year the building assignments would be mailed on the first bill for rent sent to new students. Following the bill, the department plans' to send two identical e-mails to students that include a mailing address and contact information for roommates, she said. The duplicate e-mail is to be sent about a week after the original in case students run into technical problems retrieving the first e-mail. The e-mails will be sent to students' Gatorlink accounts. "We ran this test to see if the program would work and it did. We're planning for the same success in the Fall." Sharon Blansett housing spokeswoman "I think that using e-mail is the preferred way to communicate with students at this time," Blansett said. "Our goal for the future is to have room assignments on UF's portal so that you can check housing assignments like you can check grades on ISIS." The new system was tested during Summer B on a much smaller group before a decision was made for the future. "We ran this test to see if the program would work and it did," Blansett said.

THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 3 Next possible launch time Saturday SHUT LE, from page 1 If the rocket does not detach in time, which was a risk as the sensor was stuck on "wet," indicating the tank was full, serious damage could result to the shuttle's engines. A similar problem occurred during testing in April, which NASA opted to resolve by replacing the tank entirely, including all the wiring and miscellaneous parts. The new tank and sensors functioned properly during testing earlier in the day. "As all electronics owners know, there's nothing more annoying than an intermittent flaw," Griffin said. This wasn't the first incident that threatened to postpone Wednesday's mission. A window cover from Discovery's cockpit fell off in the morning, damaging some of the shuttle's heat shielding; however, the tiles were replaced and posed no delay to the launch schedule. Those same heat-resistant tiles along the wings of Columbia were damaged by a chunk of insulating foam sprayed on the shuttle's external fuel tanks that came loose during liftoff. uxvfty A PARTMWENT 701 SW 62ND BLVD. 352-373-6330 www.spyglassapts.com When the shuttle does take off, Discovery will mark the United States' return to manned spaceflight for the first time since Columbia disintegrated during re-entry in February 2003. Griffin himself was involved in a Department of Defense project that involved 14 "scrubs," or cancellations. "This is nothing," he said. NASA officials will meet with technicians early Friday morning and, based on their findings, hold a management meeting that afternoon. The next possible launch window opens Saturday at 2:40 p.m. Members of the Senate Subcommittee on Science and Space were also in Cape Canaveral for the launch. The group, which is in the process of drafting a new appropriations bill for NASA, said today's incident will have no bearing on the provisions of their legislation to be presented to the Senate Subcommittee on Science, Technology and Space today. "This is a success story," Sen. Byron Dorgan said. "The success was the NASA team identifying the problem. Think of the alternative."

4, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005 By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@aligator.org The Student Senate passed a bill Tuesday granting $10,000 to Student Government Productions so UF's entertainment bureau can put on a trial-size Christian rock concert, "Engage," in September. The small scale of the concert, which will be free to students, will test students' enthusiasm for a larger affair, SGP chairman Joey Van de Bogart said. While SGP has not yet begun negotiations with performers, two popular national acts -Blindside and Skillet -are being considered, to be supported by two local bands. Former Gator Christian Life President Galen Wood originally asked Van de Bogart to approve a $60,000 concert. Lacking room in his budget, Van de Bogart sent him to the Senate for funding. "Next year, maybe it'll be a $20,000 concert," Van de Bogart said. "And the years after that, it'll get bigger and bigger." Van de Bogart clarified the concert's sponsorStudent ship at Tuesday's GOVe.RInMent Senate meeting. Because GCL is not budgeted by Student Government, it only has creative input. SGP will make all financial and production decisions. Production costs not met by SG's $10,000 budget will come from SGP reserves. Wood said he expects nonChristians to enjoy the show, where they will be exposed to Christian beliefs but won't be evangelized. "We're not trying to convert everybody," he said. "It's going to be a pretty rockin' concert. It's not going to be like a church service at all."

THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 Funding barrier halts non-Greek SG hopefuls MON EY from page 1 "I definitely believe that they (Greeks) are encouraged by their houses to vote for a certain party," he said. "Greek houses are allowed to be an official sponsor. They're going to have a stance and they are entitled to share that stance with their members." And they are abundant in SG. Sixty percent of SG executive officers are Greek, including six out of nine SG agency heads. SG adviser Chris Cupoli said his organization is anything but one-dimensional. "I think it's a lot more diverse than people give it credit for," he said. "The culture groups may have more of a hold than a Greek chapter would." Bullins said high involvement is just the nature of the Greek system. "Our students do a lot of coinmunity service," he said. "They get great exposure to leadership tram .I think that's what keeps them interested -the ability to grow as a person." But the Spring 2005 election had Impact Party Presidential Candidate Dennis Ngimn seeing green. "I cannot see someone who is running for Student Body President with $100 in their pocket winning the electio," he said. "If you don't have a lot of money, it's going to make it that much harder to win." Ngin donated $2,800 to his cause. "I think the administration and the students can agree that SG needs a makeover," he said. "People take it too seriously. I think that's the problem." The Impact Party reported spending a total of $12,482 for the campaign and the Progress Party spent $9,071 by the end of their run. The Moritz family contribution to the Progress Party was $6,970 but their former hopeful said money isn't much of an object when running for Student Body President. "I do think it's possible to do without very much money," Moritz said. "It definitely helps to have money." Charles Grapski, a teaching assistant who has involved himself in SG for almost 20 years, said the money factor may prohibit. potential candidates from running. "Money is a major b-arrier" he said. "There's no way for an average student to put together a campaign. It's just impossible." The Gator Party spent $18,656 in the Spring, more than both Progress and Impact, and won 38 out of 46 possible Senate seats in the SG elections. Cater Party senatorial candidates coughed up $75 each to be on the ticket, and the family of Student Body President Joe Goldberg gave $4,675 toward the campaign. Goldberg was the only presidential candidate to have Greek affiliation. Goldberg, who has been a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity since Spring 2002, said his party would have won without the deep pockets. "I think in any campaign, money is going to be an asset because it enables you to get the word out about your campaign," he said. "I think money's an asset but I don't think it's essential to becoming an executive. I think that our message was on point." Goldberg said he knows of SG campaigns that have hit the $40,000 mark. "It's been all over the board," he said. He said SG just finds the best man for the job when conducting searches for its higher-ups. "I don't know who's Greek," he said. "We don't take affiliations into account. I want someone who can get things done and is qualified for the job." PrI L __ __Fi 71 otect yourself against AIDS.

With more than 7,000 students moving on campus this Fall, the postage and staff time it would take to mail each housing assignment is substantial, Blansett said. "If I had been able to know my roommate earlier it would have been so much easier to know what to pack and know who it is that Studentyou're moving in with," said former uent resident adviser Erica Scicchitano, Ufa who lived on campus for two years. "It would have relieved a lot of my stress about moving away for the first time." Early room assignments are not the only aspect of dorm life the Department of Housing looks to change. "We are actively working on being able to accept credit card payments for rent. Right now we're just dealing with technical and procedural difficulties," Blansett said. Housing is also trying to create an online lease agreement, although Blanseti noted there are major-challenges her department must overcome to make this a viable option. GLASS ONE HOUP"SERVIOE I

6, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005 F a se) stzoar Ground the Shuttle and focus on the future ne thing hits home after the Space Shuttle's return to space was again delayed Wednesday: It's getting mighty old. The Shuttle is 33 years old, as a working concept, and 24 years old as a flyable space vehicle. So as the Shuttle program reaches middle age, we must consider how the craft's return to space will aid President Bush's semi-ambitious plan to explore strange new worlds like Mars. There's no doubt about it -it is a necessity for humanity to devote a significant amount of time and money to space exploration. Furthermore, it is crucial to our development as a race. The monumental obstacles overcome by NASA in the 1960s, to get not only into space but to see two men on the moon by decade's end, are synonymous with America's power to accomplish the impossible when necessary. Apollo 11, which lifted off 36 years ago this -week, didn't have as much computing power as a pocket calculator. It took several years and at least three human lives to get the go-ahead. But when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon, we stood proudly, our power on the world stage unmatched for one shining moment. It didn't seem off the mark, back in 1969, to envision the turn of the 21st Century as an age of multiple-planet exploration and technology beyond comprehension. Even after the programs were scaled down severely in the 1970s, NASA's endeavor to innovate brought us so many new technologies we take them for granted -more than 1,500 of them. One thing separated our plan from any others that have come before or since. Money. That's what we need. NASA's budget was roughly $30 billion (in 2005 dollars) in the mid-1960s, compared with about $16 billion today. If it cost us $30 billion a year to go to the moon, how will half that amount get us to Mars' doorstep? The truth is, NASA doesn't know. Nor does the federal government -the projected timeline for space travel, as released by a cooperative effort of several agencies, has moon travel feasible again by 2020, with first foot on Mars undetermined. It doesn't seem to make sense that we have to wait 15 years to get where we were four decades ago; in fact, it becomes clear we're not putting enough into the program to get anything useful out of it. So all the effort having been expended to get a twentysomething symbol of our obsolescence into orbit seems a waste, when we could probably save our money and devote it to newer programs. Private firms are working to join the Shuttle and the Russian craft Soyuz in the heavens by the end of the decade. And replacements for the Shuttle, which will be necessary to make the leap to other planets, have been on the drawing board since before the Shuttle's first launch. As of today, no working models exist to our knowledge, even conceptually. It's a comforting sight to see people in space, but it's not comforting enough when our commitment to advancement is considered. Let's ground the Shuttle and move on. aigator Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR The Alligator encourages commtes tfrom readers.

Call 376-4458. 0o ALLIGATOR www~aIIigator.org/opinions 4/ W7,We don't know enough to judge ROVE J ust so we're clear, let's get one thing out of the way first: If Karl Rove leaked Valerie Plame's name -directly or indirectly -then he should be fired. President Bush promised he would remove anyone who participated in the leak from his administration, and he should follow through on his promise. But until that is proven, everybody needs to back off and let the investigators do their jobs. Liberals already are up in arms, demanding that Bush fire Rove and openly criticizing him and White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan for avoiding questions about Rove's involvement. Do you want to know why they're avoiding these questions? Maybe, just maybe, it's because they don't know the answers. I know we all think President Bush has a magic crystal ball that lets him know each and every thing that goes on in the world, but let's assume for a second that maybe it's not working at the moment. The rallying cry against Bush today is that he "misled the public" about Rove in the same way that he misled the public about nuclear weapons in Iraq -which, of course, is a whole separate argument that I won't go into. Let's say you lie to someone. They believe, you and then go around spreading the lie, believing it to be true. Are they, then, a liar? I don't think so. Bush originally said he had talked to Rove and that Rove had no involvement in the leak. Read between the lines: Bush talked to Rove, and Rove told him he wasn't involved. Bush took Rove's word for it. What other choice did he have? Do those who are crying "liar" think Bush has access to Rove's or Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper's e-mail accorts? Thus far, that's the only evidence presented against Rove: an e-mail sent from Cooper to his boss stating that Rove leaked the information. That's pretty daring information. No debate there. Matt Sanchez It's also not information that Bush Editonal Notebook or his administration likely were msanchez@alligator.org privy to before everyone else was. It also doesn't prove Rove's involvement by itself, though it does make that outcome seem inevitable. I'm not saying the Bush administration didn't know. Maybe they did. I'm saying that we can't assume our political opponents have been lying to us every time they are found to be wrong -even if they don't have a very good track record. No one knows that much. Not even the president. All of tids bickering between Democrats and Republicans about who's playing nice is making our government seem more and more like a bunch of spoiled kids fighting over who gets to be X's and who gets to be O's. Maybe it's too much to ask, but how about we all set aside our this-person-isn't-libera/consevative-like-I-ain-so-theymust-be-wrong-on-every-possible-subject thoughts and try being rational for a change? If Rove is guilty, but he doesn't get fired, then liberals have my permission to stonn the White House and call for blood. Until then, let's try to remember that whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing we Americans go on so much about, and the fact that President Bush isn't the most likely person to have developed mind-reading.capabilities.

THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 7 'Fair trade'too complex for newspaper column n no way could Christian Waugh have given an adequate analysis of the difference between fair trade and free trade in Tuesday's Alligator. There's just not enough space. I thought I'd add a few points, though: How is fair trade different from free trade? Defining either is tricky. I've been an advocate for fair trade for two years now as a member of Students Making Trade Fair. In that time, the members brought Fair Trade Certified coffee to both Java City and Starbucks on campus, wilh the help of Gator Dining Services and Student Government. Fair trade coffee can be a great tasting product with a great socially-responsible message. As Waugh's column stated: "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." He's right. Established more than thirty years ago in Europe, Fair Trade Certification organizes farmers on cooperatives, where they can grow coffee beans on small plots of land, pool their crop yields together and sell it on the international market. The cooperatives don't sell to middlemen, who are known to buy cheap and sell high. Instead, the cooperatives directly sell to a coffee Claudia Adrien roaster. A percentage of Speaking Out the profits go toward education and health care programs benefiting the cooperative. Unlike coffee beans purchased by roasters such as Maxwell House or Sara Lee, fair trade coffee must be produced with enviromnentally strict standards. Trees cannot be cleared to grow the crop, and many cooperatives use entirely organic farming methods. These coffee farmers receive small loans and operate under the strict supervision of independent third-party agencies. Is this regulation? Yes. Does fair trade have its own system of tariffs? Yes. Is it governmentally regulated? No. Despite political affiliations, fair trade appeals to those on opposite ends of the political spectrum. The.U.S. House of Representatives in 2002 unanimously supported a fair trade resolution. There's a demand for fair trade and the supply is growing. The demand for the product comes out of the public's desire to have socially responsible goods. This is an essential motivating factor when more than 25 million farming families live under extreme poverty. Poverty surrounds coffee because the industry is cornered by four dominant multinationals. So, instead of seeking governmental regulation, which didn't work decades earlier for the coffee industry, the competition provided by fair trade forces many of these companies to make change. Proctor & Gamble now sells a line of fair trade coffee. And Kraft is willing to work with other certification processes, like Rainforest Alliance, to create more environmentally sensilive growing conditions for their beans. Ideally, free trade is thought of as an uninterrupted exchange of goods and services. I think this notion must be re-examined. In all of history, especially in the history of democracies, there's always been some form of government intervention and a system of tariffs. To advocate free trade in its purest sense could never realistically occur if societies choose to live with government. Fair trade is a self-regulating industry with socially responsible practices. It's not communism. It's not anarchy. It's just better business. Claudia R. Adricn, afonner Alligator reporter and colunmist, is co-president of Students Making Trade Fair.

he Th'URSD0AY, JULY 14z, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.a1ligator.org/avenue nod luck finding a Harry Potter costume to wear while you wait in line to buy a copy of "Harry Potter and the Halfiflood Prince" this Friday night. James Coats, part owner and marketing manager at Center Stage Costumes & Magic, said all the adult Harry Potter costumes are reserved for the big release celebrations in Gainesville's bookstores. Though Books-A-Million is the only store reserving costumes for its employees to wear during the Friday night event various book retailers are planning events to entertain eager Harry Potter fans wdho line rip early to buy, the 672-page book, which is the sixth of seven books in J.K Rowling's Harry Potter series. Set-, a complete fistig of Harry Potter events on pg. 12 "The Half-Blood Prince" is scheduled to hit bookshelves on Jiily 16. To grab early, sales, bookstores like Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million will stay open on July 15 and begin selling copies of the book as soon as they are legally allowed -at 12:01 a.m. Scholastic Publishing, a division of Scholastic Inc., is strictly enforcing the rules surrounding the lay down -or release date -for Rowling's new book. Though lay down dates are designed to allow bookstores to compete equally for sales, they also create a veil of secrecy by building fan's anticipation. Sarah Hensley, assistant manager at Barnes & Noble Booksellers on Archer Road, said her store would not receive the books until a day or two before the release date. She said part of the Barnes & Noble agreement with Scholastic states the boxes are to remain sealed until 12:01 a.m. on July 16. Hensley said the publishing company has even recommended security guards be placed in front of boxes in large, metropolitan store locations. One Canadian bookstore broke the release-date agreement and had to offer autographed bookplates to convince customers to return the books sold at the store. A Canadiancourt asked customers who bought the books to swear to secrecy about the book's plotline. This veil of secrecy creates suspense that drives customers to stand in line for the books at midnight on Friday. Amanda Eilers, customer service co-manager at Books-Alillion on 13th Street and event coordinator for Harry Potter night, said she expects about' 300 to 3511 people to be in the store the night of July 15. "We had 250 people in the store with thie release of book five," she said. "With the build rip of thebooks and the movies, as well as better advertising, we are expecting an even higher number this time." Samantha Self, assistant manager of Waldenbooks in The Oaks Mall; said their corporate office informed all Waldenbooks stores that Harry Potter night is like a mini Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and the biggest retail day of the year. Self is expecting anywhere from 100 to 200 people to attend the event, even though this is the first midnight opening the store has ever hosted. Waldenbooks was given special permission by mall managemert to open at 9:30 p.m. on Friday to hold a celebration and sell the books at 12:01 a.m. Only the bookstore will be open, Self said. Six activity tables will be set up in the, mall commons area, including a Dragon's Lair face painting table and an Everything Harry, table,. where customers can make Harry Potter birthday cards and try their hand at Harry Potter trivia. Bigger stores, like BooksA-Million, are planing gala events.

Beer Pong, a game that for years has been popular in college towns across the country, popping up at parties, fraternities and drunken gatherings of all sorts, is now making its way into more public areas, like bars and clubs. Market Street Pub is only one of a handful of Gainesville bars to host special Beer Pong tournament nights. Other places include Jewells Bar and Lounge, Joe's Dell and the riew Purple Porpoise Pub. Because summertime in Gainesville is generally slower and more mellow than the Fall and Spring semesters, some of these places are waiting until the Fall to really expand their Beer Pong activities.

A far cry from the blonde-haired, pencil-thin heiress turned model, the dark-featured Haitian American hopes her diverse look will help her stand out among hundreds of local women, ages 18 to 27, vying for a role on season six of UPN's hit reality show "America's Next Top Model." "I think there are too many stereotypical models out there," Michaud said. "I would like to be a positive role model and project an image of how normal people look." On July 15, Gainesville affiliate UPN 11 will hold a local casting call at the Best Westem Gateway Grand for young women interested in competing for a spot on the show, created by supermodel Tyra Banks, and a potential modeling contract. Auditions are limited to the first 100 entrants. Applicants must bring two forms of identification, a completed application, available at http://www.wgfl.com, and three photographs to the Gateway Grand Ball Room between 3 and 5 p.m. The photos must include a head shot, a full-length' swimsuit photo and a full-length clothed photo. Although Gainesville will not become a bustling college town until the Fall, Joe Grant, director of marketing and promotions at UPN 11, is confident there will be a significant turnout. "We're excited to conduct the auditions and thought it would be a fun thing to do," Grant said. The station is promoting the audition by airing commercials on the network and placing advertisements in local newspapers. Grant also noted more than 100 hits on the station's Web site suggesting a growing interest in the contest among the local viewing area. After registration, applicants will be placed into groups for a three-minute filmed interview. Each woman will introduce herself, demonstrate a catwalk down a runway and answer questions including why she is the next top model. Michaud, a long time fan of the show, performs well under pressure. "I'm not nervous at all," she said. "I'm not afraid to tell people what I really think. I'm really excited." UPN. casting directors in California will choose 12 finalists. Film production for the show will begin in October 2005, and episodes will air during the 2006 season.

10, ALLIGATOR THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005 hat happened to human decency? Livestrong, Lance Armstrong's campaign to fight cancer, has paved the way for a trend of rubber bracelets that tout awareness as fashion. Unfortunately, it seems that wearing one may be harboring a negative connotation. While doing research for a previous article on wardrobe pet peeves, I met a number of people who mentioned the wristbands, saying they were lame. This kind of pissed me off because unlike other clothing styles, this one doesn't come with a price tag and supports one of the noblest ideals -human survival. Similar to the jelly bracelets from elementary school, the soft bangles come in every color under the spectrum, each one demonstrating for a different cause from poverty prevention to water purity to counteracting disease. Throughout your day, you are guaranteed to see a rainbow of them adorning the arms of celebrities, passersby, colleagues and friends. I've even seen individuals with them around their ankles. When was the last tine you donned a fashion that championed anything other than yourself? I realize that in this town and on this campus, we are a population of yoiung adults. We are works in progress, having not fully come into our own, but don't you think we are a little young to be portraying ourselves as cynical, misanthropic dolts? Such a sentiment seems to be sprouting nationwide as well. My best friend in Minneapolis recently went out on a very bad date with a guy who was not only boring, but happened to be wearing a yellow Livestrong@ band.Was the armlet the deal breaker? Not necessarily, but she'd be lying if she said it didn't cariy a slight negative stigma. On the other hand, there are those who slip them on simply to follow mode independent of the statement. This is your Fashion a Go-Go telling you there is nothing savvy about being superficial. If you don one without advocating its purpose, I guess the world wouldn't have to know, unless you foolishly practice self-disclosure. Sellers on eBay also exploiting the trend by auctioning wristbands without disclaining charitable auspices. So, it's likely they're making money from false philanthropy. Marketers are cheapening the Christine fashion, too. Bracelets are popping Steffens up everywhere that declare nothing Fashion a Go-Go to do with humanitarian concern theavenue@alligator.org -unless you consider Playboy a worthy conviction. I own a white band for the ONE Campaign against poverty in Africa. I am a true patron of the cause and have been for months now. Though I don't always wear the arnlet because that's my choice, it's not under false pretenses when I do. Let's just think about this for a moment -it took a terrorist attack claiming thousands of lives to pull the rug out from under us and recognize the value of our existence. We were nice and respectful to one another and smiled at complete strangers for no reason. -Perhaps in the wake of the most recent London assaults, conveniently timed during the G8 summit for human rights, this is not so subtle a reminder that we need to regroup and rally around one another. The bottom line is, though the wristbands may not always match your outfit, everything goes with good intention. You don't have to be in vogue with your clothing, but how about the way you live? After all, life is style, too. Game jump-starts craze BE E R, from page 9 Market Street. "In the Fall, it's going to be crazy." Ask anyone who plays or even watches Beer Pong games, and they'll tell you there's much more to the game, though. "The iniore drunk people get, the more impressive it gets," says Esa Khan, 21, a UF math major, who was cheering his friends on as they played at Market Street. Local bars are using Beer Pong tournaments to attract customers into their businesses, using beer and potential prizes as bait. First prize is usually cash or other prizes, like gift certificates, bar tabs and other rewards. At Market Street alone, the numbers are increasing. While only about 15 teams of two registered the first week, about 20 to 25 teams signed up at the latest tournament. However, many people have never played the game or even heard of it, if they're not from the area. Matt Glossop, 30, a British native who works in the UF physics department, brought his visiting friend from England, Niall Maclean, 33, to watch the game. "We've never seen anything like this before," says Glossop, as he and his friend watch the drunken sport being played at multiple tables around them. "We don't have anything Eike thids in the UK." Whether they come to play for cash prizes or just to drink, the basic point of Beer Pong seems to be the same for everyone. "You meet new people, have fun and drink beer," says Courtney Ward, 23, a UF business administration major, who helps run the Wednesday night Beer Pong tournaments at Market Street. As she says this, a fellow Beer Pong player, probably a few beers into the game, stops in to put in his two cents. "Everybody gets drunk and everyone wins," he says.

iUDIOLOGY :9. Na8oftiowers deserve revis~b-tig The Wallflowers Rebel, Sweetheart Interscope Records May 24, 2005 Almost a decade fter The Wallflowers released ieir hit "One Headlight," it's me to bring attention to this rock roup once again. The band's fifth album hit the tores without much fanfare, and Rebel, Sweetheart" could be one f the most underrated albums of he summer. The Wallflower's signature ound is all over this record; just straight-ahead rock 'n roll that takes influence from Springsteen and Petty. Though the melodies are somewhat predictable, and at times it'll make you think, "God, this is so '90s alt rock," you can still listen to the album proudly with the windows down in your car. Lead singer Jakob Dylan's gritty voice (thanks to dad, the legendary Bob Dylan) and his poetic songwriting are what make The Wallflowers so magnetic. Dylan's lyrics are rich with imagery 'and range from personal relationships to the war in Iraq. F rom the previews and clips I have seen of Tim Burton's latest creative adventure, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," I am hoping when I go o the movie my buttery popcorn topping will be laced vith some type of hallucinogen. With a '60s feel to the movie, I think only acid-heads >r Grateful Dead fans still suffering acid flashbacks will 'ompletely enjoy it. The rest of us will sit in awe, mouths gaped open nd wonder: What is this guy on? This is Burton's fourth meeting with he movie's main star Johnny Depp, who -lays Willy Wonka. The pair also worked together on 'Edward Scissorhands" in 1990, "Ed Nood" in 1994 and "Sleepy Hollow" in 999. One thing Burton makes very clear about "Charlie nd the Chocolate Factory" is it's not a remake of the 971 "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." The main plot stays the same -five children find o-olden tickets in Wonka chocolate bars and win a guided tour of the mysterious chocolate factory. However, this version stays true to the 1964 children's novel by Roald Dahl. In the movie, opening Friday, Johnny Depp will replace Wilder as Wonka. I believe Depp will either hit the part right on or miss it by a long shot. While Depp usually shines in abnormal parts, like his drunken portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean," this role will be a One notable track is "God Says Nothing Back," on which Dylan sings, "God says nothing but I told you so." Though the content is pretty dark, it won't. leave you feeling depressed. The band success-fully contrasts the subject matter and the melody, which takes on a lighter tone than the lyrics. If you pick up this CD, make sure to hear the band's newest single, "The Beautiful Side of Somewhere" and "Days of Wonder." -JUNE CAPPIELLO test of his acting ability. If he can pull this off, he can pull off anything. While the old version is known as a summer camp and almost cultclassic, Dahl was quoted in an "Entertainment Weekly" interview that he was not a fan of the original version. Burton went so far as to find a writer who had not seen the original movie version and ordered him not to see it when he prepared the script for this new version. There is also no singing in this Melissa version and no Gene Wilder. Filipkowski That was my personal favorite The Reel Life part of the '70s version. theavenue@Slligator.org The Oompa-Loompas also receive a makeover. Don't worry, they still rhyme eerily, sing and dance. They will not retain their orange and green colors, though, and will all be played by the same actor. They will then be digitally multiplied for an "attack of the Oompa-Loompa clones." Whether the public will einbrace the new journey into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory is still unknown. Despite Depp's mysterious wit and charm, his visit to the chocolate factory could make for a hit-or-miss summer blockbuster. My suggestion is to see the movie with an open' mind.

Sometime in Spring, I changed from a nonsmoker to a social smoker. Now in my opinion, habits are habits. I floss more often than I smoke, but no one ever requests "floss advocate" in personal ads or roommate applications. The dating distinction between smokers and nonsmokers though is much more dramatic. Even though I'd rather be categorized as part of the clean-teeth brigade, that label may not be how most people see me. 'In as a part of the increasingly common club of onlywhen-I'm-drinking tobacco-users, I realized I didn't know where I fit in the spectrum any longer. Since I rarely buy cigarettes, I'm not a consistent smoker. However, any number of strangers wouldn't know that after seeing me bumming a clove from my friends at the bar. As a social smoker, was I already branded and boxed with the pack-a-day types? My friends gave mixed reviews when I asked whether or not I counted as "a smoker." Mr. Lube One friend, who Risqu6 Business cringes anytime theavenue@alligator.org someone mentions smoking,. considered me un-datable. He said he dated a guy who, like me, only enjoyed cigarettes in combination with alcohol. My friend could still smell the smoke on the guy's clothes and could taste it in his mouth without ever being near a lit cigarette. On the other hand, another nonsmoker-only friend said my nicotine consumption was acceptable. Then, I went to the out-and-proud smokers to hear about the grass on their side of the fence. While the inhaling choices of their sporadic dates was really a toss up, all my smoking friends were in relationships with only fellow smokers. It seems like the population filters itself. But still the question remains for my fellow social smokers and me. As it seems, we go both ways. While I love the feeling of perpetual distraction that comes from mixing nicotine and alcohol, I know I can get the same affect from caffeine. As well, using my search for a light to spark conversation with strangers has produced some fun memories. However, I'm rarely at a loss for words, especially if alcohol is about. Even though I have enjoyed my experiences with the cancer sticks, I'm not sure I'm really ready for the stigma or the label. When -it comes to smoking and me, I might just be burnt out.

12, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, JULY 14,2005 Bookstores will host magical festivities to welcome 'Half-Blood Prince' POTTER, from page 8 Though it sounds like a bad pun on the book's -title, LifeSouth Community Blood Centers' blood mobile will be in Books-AMillion's parking lot July 16 and will raffle off copies of the new book to donors. Center Stage also will set up a magic booth in the store for the pre-release celebration Other stores have smaller events planned. Barnes & Noble's festivities begin at 9 p.n. on Friday. The store will give away posters and have a face-p ainting booth. Joe Simmons, corporate sales representative at Borders, said he is expecting a mob of Harry Potter fans in the store Friday. "I'm a little hesitant, but it should be fun," he said. Borders will basically be a big activity room for children, he said. Some of the activity tables will involve making magic potions and others will feature wizard duels. Simon & Schuster is the store's main sponsor and will provide prizes like posters and bookmarks to winners of the house cup challenge, which will involve trivia and possibly costumes, Simmons said. Even local Gainesville bookstores like Goerings Book Store will stay open later for Harry Potter fans. Goerings' event will begin at 10 p.m., said Mary Ann Emerson, a Goerings employee. Last year, the store opened the sealed boxes at 11:45 p.m. and distributed the product to customers. At the stroke of midnight, it began selling the books to customers. Emerson said the store would probably use the same procedure this year. Goerings is also partnering with Mike and Lisa Manfredi at Sweet Dreams Homemade Ice Cream, Coffee and Desserts. Each customer who comes to the celebration will receive one free scoop of ice cream arid can also purchase a one-time-only butterbeer-flavor ice cream.Emerson said the contract Goerings signed with Scholastic had strict clauses that prevented it from marketing Harry Potter merchandise without the publisher's permission. However, Emerson said when she called Scholastic and explained what the store was trying to do, the publishing company told her items such as a butterbeer-flavor ice cream would be acceptable for the July 15 event. "People have been asking, 'Are you going to be open Harry Potter night because, if you are, I want to get my book from Goerings,"' Mike Manfredi said. Bares & Noble on Southwest Archer Road is having its 'Midnight Magic" party from 5f50 p to 2 a.m. The event features face painting, Berlie Bott's jellybean counting coolest 'fiiotos; wizard passports, giveaways, posters and tattoos. Customers are encouraged to dress up., Books-A-Million on 2601 NW 13th St. is having a midnight party from 9 p.m. to midnight featuring costurn contests for kids (14 and under) and adults, a trivia contest, face painting school ot witchcraft and wizardry magic show and crafts.

THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org Walsh to sig rni io contract with I Heat Haslem re-signs with Heat By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabrarmsoni@aligaur.org Shaq, Dwyane Wade .Matt Walsh? In a surprising reversal of fortune, the former Gators guard will sign a partially guaranteed contract with the Miami Heat in late July, ind may find himself on Miami's opening day roster. Critics lambasted Walsh's decision to leave UF following his junior year, believing he wasn't ready for the NBA. Initially it appeared like a poor decision on Walsh's part -he wasn't selected in the NBA Draft -but he continued to believe he would land a pro contract as a free agent. Now, Walsh will sign a twoyear contract believed to be worth more than $1 million. "It feels great," Walsh said. "I'm definitely excited after some of the negative stuff that was said after the Draft." Walsh's father, Mike, and agent, Jason Levien, received a bulk of the criticism for possibly swaying Matt to enter the Draft, but all along the Walsh camp said the Heat were interested in Matt and likely would have drafted him had former Kansas forward Wayne Simien not been available. Now, the Heat gets Simien and Walsh, and the Walsh family can breathe a sigh of relief. "It's been a little hectic," Walsh said. "I'm happy, obviously, for myself, and I had confidence this was going to happen. I'm happy for my dad, agent and AAU coach. After everyone said [those three] made a bad decision, they get to say 'screw you.' Role on Heat Walsh will be teamed up with former UF forward Udonis Haslem, who signed a new five-year contract with Miami on Tuesday expected to be worth almost $34 million. The Heat came within a game of reaching the NBA Finals this past year, falling to Detroit in the seventh game of the Eastern Haslem Conference finals. But both Shaquille O'Neal and Wade were banged up in the series, leaving many to anoint Miami favorites to win the NBA title next season. Time will tell whether Walsh will receive immediate playing time or be stashed on the inactive list. Under the new rules of the collective bargaining agreement, first and second year NBA players can be sent to the developmental league at the team's discretion, btit Levien said that was net brought up. "I'll fit in good," Walsh said. "Anytime you can play with Shaq you're going to get good, open looks, and one of the things [Miami] likes is my ability to hit open shots." Assuming Miami makes no major roster changes, Walsh will likely compete with Rasual Butler and 19year-old Dorell Wright for a reserve guard role. "I learned my lesson a long time ago. Never underestimate Matt Walsh," Walsh's high school coach Jim Fenerty said. "If the Miami Heat needs a perimeter guy with Shaq inside, or if they need a scrappy guy that can get rebounds, Matt Walsh will make this team better." Walsh played two games on the Heat summer league team in Los Angeles and arrived at the L.A. Airport on Tuesday night with plans to join Seattle's summer league team. Miami general manager Randy Pfund told Walsh to keep his cell phone charged. With the battery draining, a nervous Walsh waited impatiently, unsure whether he would board the flight or receive the phone call of a lifetime. The plane ticket went to waste. "It's unbelievable and a dream come true," Walsh said. "I can't [believe] I'm going to be teammates with Shaq and Udonis." SEE WALSH, PAGE 24 Absurdity of Olympics, MLB fuel Sheffield's controversial comments A three-year contract with the Yankees: $39 million. An X-rated video of R. Kelly with your wife: $0. A chance to represent your country and its national pastime in international competition: worthless. At the All-Star Game festivities in Detroit on Monday, Yankees slugger Gary Sheffield fired off a dicey remark, refusing to participate. in March's 16-nation World Baseball Classic. "My season is when I get paid," Sheffield told the New York Daily News. "I'm not sacrificing my body or taking a chance on an injury for something that's made-up. "This isn't the Olympics. That's a big difference. This is something you made up." Great. Then just stay home, count your Benjamins and try to keep Kelly from urinating on your girl, Sheff. Besides, the last thing this country needs is to witness another Dream Team turn into a nightmare. Right? But greedy, self-centered rhetoric and all, he has a point. It's not the Olympics. In a truly brilliant move on Friday, the International Olympic Committee elected not to include baseball and softball in competition after the 2008 Beijing Games. Clueless IOC president Jacques Rogge said baseball would be allowed to retum only if it allowed its top players to compete and applied stiffer doping penalties. But come on Monsieur Rogge. MLB superstars earn more than some countries can afford to fund their Olympic programs. And, of course, owners, like George Steinbrenner, who control capital worth more than the GDP of some nations, will be more than happy to let a third of their respective rosters leave midseason for the sake of good-spirited Bryan App international competiApp-etite tion. for Receptions And doping in the bapp@alligator.org Olympics? Shocking. Let's just kick swimming, weightlifing, cycling and track and field events out of the games while we're at it. There are always the steroid-free sports of potato-sack and tihree-legged racing. This is just another reason why the Olympics will always suck and Americans don't care. Now MLB is coming back at the IOC high and inside in an attempt to present baseball as a truly international sport. All it took was about one MasterCard commercial and 3 hours, 3 minutes of an internationally flavored home-run derby to figure out that one. But why should baseball's biggest stars serve as pawns in the MLB's vendetta with the 10C? Does baseball really want to disrupt spring training with the Classic and risk injuries to its superstars -the same ones that put butts in seats when it counts? So don't be so quick to slam Sheffield. As he said, "A lot of guys feel that way. They won't say it like I will, though." Just ask Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, who said he wouldn't participate in the Classic unless "Mr. George" approved. And for owners like Steinbrenner, such words are priceless.

THURSDAY, JULY 14 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 23 "Copyrighted Materia I Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" none of the most drasinc Ineup changes in the nation, the UF rnen's basketball team Iost 60 percent of its scoring from a year ago. David Lee, Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson all went pro, leaving Coach Bily Donovan with a completely different teat 'for 2005-06. Here's an early look at the new Gators. TheG attosorP rowe tdnku Aml gator Project64-Lineup Power Forward: Chris Richard Sophomor 6-8, 2355 04-05 Key stas: 3.2 ppg, 2.5 rpg .616 fg The Lowdown: It's truly a make or break year for Richard. After two mediocre seasons, Richard showed flashes of potential in the 2005 postseason. He has the ability yto muscle his way to the paint, but a he must be consistent and limit mistakes. Center: A[ Horford Sophomore 6-8, 235 04-05 Key stats: 5.6 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 1.6 bpg The Lowdown: His teammates call him Alfred the Horf, and the so.The best shot blocked on the team lsts year nr bee the anchor in the middle. Expect a double digit scoring average and a spot on the SEC blocks and rebounding leader board. Small Forward: Corey Brewer Sophomore 6-8, 185 04-05 Key stats: 7.5 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 1.5 spg The Lowdown: An explosive season could be in store for the Worm. Brewer stood out early last year with his defensive prowess, but by season's end his scoring ability was evident. This year, Brewer will be asked to carry the offensive load and he should find himself on plenty of highlight reels. Shooting Guard: Derwin Kitchen Freshman 6-4, 180 2005 Fla. 5A High School Player of the Year The Lowdown: Kitchen's academic status is still in question, but assuming there are no eligibility issues, he should eventually find his way into the starting lineup. Kitchen can play and defend both guard spots as well as attack the basket, but freshmen aren't always reliable. .Kewy re.ervs Lee Humphrey, 6-2, Junior, guard. Humphrey could geit the sarting nodat shooting guard, and his point abty witi be utilzed aPl season. He's a so a solid defdterat tie top of the key Joaklm Noah, 6 11, Sophomore, forward. At times Nfioah looked like a player with starting potential, but occasional he appeared lost, Now, as the toP b g man off the bench, his contributions are crudaia Walter Hodge, 5-1 reshnman, guard the only oint guard n the r sr other than Green, Hodge looks o score first. Adrian Moss9, Scnior, center. If healthy, Moss will provide senior eadership and a big body that can rebound and foul. Outlook: At first glance, the lineup looks sketchy. Don't expect an SEC championship, but UFwill surprise critics by makingthe NCAA Tournament and playing high-caliber basketbI. This isa team'suited to Dornovan's coaching Style. If all goes well, the Gators should be an exciting; cohesive, defensively improved unit. Point Guard: Taurean Green Sophomore 6-0, 177 04-S Key stats: 3.9 ppg, 2.2 apg, 1.0 spg The Lowdown: Green is a better pure point guard than Roberson and he will look to pass first, score Second while limiting turnovers. With Green's ability to run an up-tempo offense, he should be a nice fit in bonovan's fast-paced running game.

24, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005 E EXPERIENCED LINE IS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE IN THE NATION. By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Staff Writer ooultas~olligao.ocg To call them the centerpiece of the offense would be an understatement, but don't expect any of them to be on the cover of NCAA Football 2007. The offensive line is regarded as a position for the big guys who just do as they're told. They don't score the tou4sdowns, but rather win the game in the trenches. If experience translates to success, the Gators' offensive line could be the best one to play in the Swamp in quite some time. UF will field four seniors and a freshman on the 2005 starting line led by center Mike Degory. Degory, who has started 38 consecutive games since his freshman year, was recently named to the Outland Trophy Watch list. The trophy is awarded to the best lineman in college football. Degory, arguably one of the top three UF players on either side of the ball, has been a mainstay at UF for three years. With Coach Urban Meyer's offense still in the learning process, Degory's leadership and consistency will be counted upon in 2005.

As another player that will be counted on to provide leadership, Butler believes the Gators' offensive line is one of the most unique in the nation. "I think that the guards want to push guys back, but I think as an offensive line we are one of the more mobile units in the country," he said. "We've got big guys and most of us weigh in around 310 and can still get out there and run and make plenty of plays down field." Left tackle Randy Hand and left guard Tavares Washington are the other two E a seniors on the side responsiflE MflEg 5 ble for protecting quarterback Chris Leak's blind side. In an offense revolving around speed and misdirection, Washington should be able to pull out and provide excellent run blocking for the Gators' backfield. He might seem like the odd guy out on the depth chart, but redshirt freshman Jim Tartt was one of the pleasant surprises in the spring. "He's done really well, but he's just a really big, country, strong, tough guy," Butler said. "He can go out there and just smash people in the face, and I know from talking to [linebacker] Todd McCullough that running into that kid is like running into a wall." Sophomores Drew Miller and Phil Trautwein also will be in the rotation this year along with junior Steve Rissler.

Forward David Lee, selected in the first round of the NBA-Draft by the New York Knicks, will now be engaged in a friendly rivalry with Walsh. In the 1990s, Miami and New York were bitter rivals in the NBA, and there is still animosity between the teams. Walsh hasn't spoken to Lee in recent weeks, but said he looks forward to playing the former UF star in the NBA. But it's still undetermined whether Roberson will get his opportunity to join Walsh and Lee in the pros. Since scoring 13 points for the Memphis Grizzlies in their summer league opener, Roberson's numbers have dropped. On Tuesday he scored just four points,. but added four assists. Walsh believes a NBA team will eventually sign Roberson to a free agent contract. "Peep's out here in L.A. with me. We're staying in the same hotel and we've been hanging a bit," Walsh said. "He's playing well and has a real good opportunity [to make the NBA]."
