HOMECOMING 2005
Wayne Brady to headline Gator Growl
By CRYSTAL HENRY
Alligator Writer
chenry@alligator.org
Gator Growl officials have selected "Whose
Line Is It Anyway?" comedian Wayne Brady
as the headlining act for this October's event.
Brady, an Orlando native who has won
two Emmy awards including one for "Whose
Line...," will join a who's who of past per-
formers, such as Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno,
at the world's largest student-run pep rally.
Brady's talent coordinator, Colleen McGarr,
said Brady will work closely with Carmody
and the rest of the Gator Growl staff to tailor
his act specifically for this year's show.
"He's from Orlando, so he's super familiar
with Gator Growl," McGarr said.
She said Brady agreed to perform at UF for
a number of reasons, but mainly because, like
for many performers, Gator Growl is like a
right of passage they all want to do it once.
McGarr said Brady is the first performer
of his kind at Gator Growl because he will
incorporate comedy, music and improvisation
all in one show.
Growl spokesman Chris Chase said Brady
will be paid $65,000 for a 45-minute perfor-
- mance. Last year's head-
S & liner, Blue Collar Comedy
Tour's Bill Engvall, was
paid $90,000 for his Gator
Growl appearance.
Although the Florida
Blue Key event has a
smaller budget this year
Brady and had to request a pro-
vision of almost $200,000
from Student Government, the "Revenge of
the Swamp"-themed show will go on, Gator
Growl Producer Rob Carmody said.
Carmody said he still is searching for
opening acts but doesn't want to get students'
hopes up by naming any of the possibilities
until he knows whom he will get to commit.
Students can also audition to be part of the
event at a talent night to be held within the
next few weeks, Chase said.
Both Carmody and Chase noted every-
thing is right on schedule for what will be
Gator Growl's 80th year, and Carmody, who

ISIS to charge cards
At Criser Hall (above), students can pay their bills in several ways without facing a new service charge.
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
Students who use ISIS to pay
university obligations, such as
tuition, with a credit card will see
a charge added to their transac-
tions next week in a move a UF
administrator says is meant to
encourage the use of less costly
payment methods.
Starting July 26, a 2.6-percent
service charge will be added to
all credit card payments made
through ISIS on UF's Web site to
offset the fees charged to the uni-
versity to process the payments.
UF Senior Associate Controller
Stuart Hoskins said UF students
pay more than $40 million in
tuition each year, and the fees to
cover credit card payments made
by a minority of students are paid
for by all students.
"That's why we had to make
this decision," he said.
Hoskins added that admin-
istrators, who announced the
upcoming fee Friday via e-mail,
have considered adding the fee
since January.
Credit card companies charge
UF about 2 percent of the total to
process online transactions. The
extra 0.6 percent UF is charging
students will cover the cost of hir-
ing a processing company.
"What we tried to do was go
back and charge this to the stu-
dents who were using the credit
cards," he said.
"We know increasing any fees
isn't popular with students."
VISA, the most frequently used
credit card on ISIS, declined to ac-
cept the 2.6-percent service charge
and no longer will be accepted on
ISIS.
VISA would have allowed the
convenience fee if UF charged a
flat fee to all students, Hoskins
said, but that was not feasible
since some students use ISIS to

Multicultural groups seek improved representation
Editor's note: This is the second story in a
series taking a closer look at the hidden
structures of Student Government.

With opinions as diverse as their back-
grounds, students in multicultural groups
seem to agree on one thing: there is room for
improvement in Student Government's repre-

sentation of minority students.
Senate President Diane Kassim, the highest
ranking African American woman in SG his-
tory, said the path to her position was riddled
with challenges.
"I'm not going to say it was easy at all," she
said. "I took chances. There were several situ-
ations where I thought I would never be a part
of (Student) Senate again."
Kassim said she feels SG is treading the high
road of diversification.
"I believe that [SG] is a better reflection of
the student body, more so than the administra-
tion," she said. "The numbers are moving up.
(But) there's always room for improvement."
Hispanic Student Association Vice President
of Operations and District
Student D Sen. Laura Gonzalez said
Government there are very few hoops to
jump through in order to
get to the SG finish line.
"I was chosen based on my qualifications,"
she said. "I don't think being a minority made
it more difficult in any way. I found it a very

SG adviser Chris Cupoli said he believes
SG is on the path toward boasting a group
of representatives just as multifaceted as UF's
student body.
"Just looking around the third floor (of the
Reitz Union), I think it is more diverse than it
has been," he said. "It's a fairly diverse room.

Witches, wizards and were-
wolves stood in line at the Joe
Muggs "Leaky Cauldron" Caf6
for pints of Berry Brew and
purple mini cakes, while others
bustled through the store mak-
ing wizard hats and watching
magic tricks.
At 12:01 a.m. July 16, the
crowd in Books-A-Million on
13th Street erupted in cheers as
an employee behind the registers
lifted a book into the air the
first of approximately 450 books
sold in the first hour and a half.
"Harry Potter and the Half-
Blood Prince" was no longer a
secret.
Scholastic Inc., the global
children's publishing and media
company, printed and shipped
10.8 million copies of "Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood
Prince" filling more than 600
trucks in preparation for the
biggest book release in history,
according to a company press
release. More than 5,000 stores
nationwide held midnight par-
ties to celebrate the release of J.K.
Rowling's sixth Potter book.
"It's like Christmas in July,"
said Clay Whittaker, a cafe as-
sociate at Books-A-Million. "The
excitement grows as the minutes
tick away to midnight."
Harry Potter fans scoured
the store looking for any Harry
Potter accessories they could
find, including books, pencils
and the now famous black
Harry Potter eyeglasses. After
being separated into one of
four houses Gryffindor,
Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and
Slytherin each customer

visited one of the four activity
"classrooms" in the store.
Jessica Stephens, a 13-year-old
fan who arrived just after 9 p.m.
to take part in the festivities, said it
was weird being in Slytherin when
her stepsister was in Gryffindor.
The two houses are pitted against
each other in the books.
Fans were dressed in such
elaborate costumes that custom-
ers had a hard time distinguish-
ing between reality and the fan-
tasy world of Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"I wasn't expecting Professor
Trelawney to be here," Stephens
said, motioning to a woman
dressed as one of the book's char-
acters, complete with long, curly
silver hair, a crystal ball and eye-
glasses that magnified her eyes to
twice their normal size.
The winners of the best overall
costume contest, Ryan Tamay and
Alex Geoffroy, were dressed as a
Slytherin quidditch player and a
hippogriff, respectively. A hippog-
riff is a magical creature that looks
like a giant eagle and horse.
Ashley Powers, who dressed
as Harry's sidekick, know-it-all
Hermione Granger, came to win
Books-A-Million's Harry Potter
trivia contest.
Cradling a stuffed dragon
named Norbert, Powers entered
the contest but did not win.
However, she was still excited
about receiving her book and said
she was going to start reading it
the minute she got it.
"I'm going to stay up until six in
the morning if I have to," she said.
Stephens, on the other hand,
said she was going to go to sleep
and start reading in the morning,
since it was only going to take her
about three or four hours to finish
the 672-page book.
"I've read each one about 16
times except the fourth," she
said. "I've read that one about 40
times."
As customers filed out of the
store with their books in hand at
about 1:30 a.m., Books-A-Million
employees surveyed the aftermath.
Luke Schmidt, the store's gen-
eral manager, said the number of
people who attended the event
was much higher than the last.
"I was stupefied," he said, rub-
bing his eyes as he sat in the back
office after the event ended.

Students to vote in
online-voting poll
* A FORUM ON THE LONG-
DEBATED SUBJECT WILL
TAKE PLACE WEDNESDAY.
By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org
Students are invited to act as
senators by debating and cast-
ing ballots on the issue of online
voting in Student Government
elections at a forum Wednesday
night, Senate President Diane
Kassim said.
"If the Senate ignores what
the students say," Kassim said,
"that says a lot about the Student
Senate."
The issue has been raised and
quashed in Senate since Fall 2001,
when students had the option of
voting online in a trial run of
the system that 600 voters used.
Gainesville-based network-
ing company Accelerated Data
Works, Inc. conducted the trial.
Kent Tambling, the firm's
vice president of operations,
said no security weaknesses
were found.
He said he has spoken to SG
every year since and assured
them each time the system was
secure.
"I felt the answers I was giv-
ing were not the ones they were
looking for," he said. "I felt they
were looking for weaknesses."
Former Student Body
Treasurer Dennis Ngin specu-
lated political motives may have
suppressed the issue in the past.
"If more people vote, better
representatives will be elected
and some people don't like that,"
Ngin said.
Sen. Jared Hernandez,
chairman of the Online Voting
Revisions Committee, said his
group has arrived at two options
for online voting, which it has
termed "secure site" and "unse-
cure site."
Secure-site voting involves
monitored polling locations that
require photo identification. Its
advantage is students can vote
at any polling location, instead of
only at their respective colleges.
With an unsecure site sys-
tem, students can vote from
almost any computer with an
Internet connection.
Tambling said IP addresses,
which identify computers
logged onto specific networks
such as campus wireless net-
works, can'be frozen to prevent
party members from campaign-
ing by using their laptops to ask
students to vote on the spot.
Addresses also can be timed
out to prevent multiple votes
from the same computer.
Hernandez expressed con-
cern that unsecure-site voting
would not protect students'
anony m -
Student ity, allowing
Government them to be
coerced from
over their shoulders.
"It's up to the individual
voter to protect their own rights
to vote," Tambling said, adding
such a case would be no differ-
ent from absentee ballots.
Committee member Sen.
Gareth Kerr expressed discom-
fort about the terms "secure
site" and "unsecure site."
"I don't like the terminology
because I think it's all secure,"
he said.,
Both forms use 128-bit en-
- cryption, code even the U.S.
government has not been able
to break.
Santa Fe Community College
and Florida International
University use online voting for
their SG elections.
"You can pick up your cell
phone and vote in Student
Government elections," said
Dan Rodkin, associate director
for student life at SFCC.
The switch to online
voting could save approxi-
mately $30,000 each election,
Hernandez said.
The forum will be held at 7
p.m. in room 282 of the Reitz
Union.

Poll: Staff happy with UF, not pay
By DOUGLAS BONEPARTH
Alligator Contributing Writer
For UF staff, life is pretty good.
A survey of more than 8,000 UF
employees showed a high level of
contentment with work environ-
ments at the university as well as
benefits and career-development
opportunities.
Of those surveyed, 84 percent
said they would recommend UF as
a good place to work, compared to
the national average of 77 percent.
As far as school spirit is con-
cerned, 83 percent of respondents
said they were proud to be part of
the UF community, right on par
with the national average.
About 61 percent of those offered
the survey, which was designed
by Chicago-based International
Survy Research, responded.
"Survey results indicate that our
staff thoroughly enjoys the working
condi ions here," UF President Bernie
Machen said in a press release.
On the other hand, the survey
revealed that the same group re-
ported a low level of satisfaction
with pay and internal communica-
tions.
"Staff pay is a major concern
and we recognize that issue. Pay is
one of our high-
UF pest priorities, and
the upcoming 3.6
percent salary
increase is a step
'roe in the right direc-
tion," Machen
said.
Machen Another area
UFpresident of dissatisfaction
among UF staff
involves the implementation of the
PeopleSoft accounting software.
PeopleSoft, blamed for multiple
personnel and payroll issues in the
year following its activation, has
made their jobs more challenging,
staffers said.
As for improvement in soft-
ware, Vice President for Human
Resources Kyle Cavanaugh said
UF has an ongoing plan to ease
employees' relationship with
PeopleSoft.
"PeopleSoft is much more than
an information system; it's nothing
short of a cultural change," he said.
"It requires a different thinking
process, but over time we will see
improvement."
Cavanaugh said the majority of
staffers believe the PeopleSoft situ-
ation soon will improve because
familiarity and knowledge of the
system is increasing rapidly.
Machen said in the release UF
will use the results, along with
other information, to create a
strategy to continue to improve the
administration's relationship with
university staff.
"Attracting and retaining qual-
ity staff is a key to our pursuit of
becoming a Top 10 institution,"
he said. "The survey results are an
important tool in helping us do just
that."

Bob Graham to visit UF
By ASHLEY JONES
Alligator Contributing Writer
Retired U.S. Senator and UF alumnus
Bob Graham will visit UF on Thursday
to discuss a center for public service
planned for the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences.
Graham will hold an open forum for
faculty, staff and students at 2 p.m. in the
Keene Faculty Center at 103 Dauei Hall to
discuss the new Bob Graham Center for
Public Service.
The facility will be dedicated to train-
ing college students in languages, culture
and other skills vital to a career in public
service.
"Graham has been talking with UF
since the Spring about establishing this
center," said Allyson Beutke, spokes-
woman for the college.
Some of the issues Graham will dis-
cuss at the forum include the opening
date for the center, how the center will
operate and how it will be funded.
"The center, like the other programs in
the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,
will receive state money," Beutke said.
"But Graham will also solicit for donations
r from private donors."
Plans for the
Graham Center
include implement-
ing a Statesmen-in-
Residence Program,
which will invite
j prominent U.S. and
Graham international leaders
to UF to conduct re-
search and give seminars, Beutke said.
The center also will hold interdisci-
plinary forums, provide an internship
program and eventually, through CLAS,
offer bachelor's and master's degrees in
public policy, Beutke said.
Graham will teach courses at UF and
serve as a Senior Scholar in Residence, but
will not preside as the center's coordina-
tor, Beutke said. A professor from the col-
lege most likely will hold that position.
College gets interim dean
* TONY DASTA WILL LEAD THE
COLLEGE OF DESIGN BY AUG. 6.
By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Contributing Writer
Tony Dasta knew he would become an
architect and teach, but he didn't expect a
39-year stint at UF, a tenure that culminated
in his appointment as the interim dean of
the College of Design, Construction and
Planning last week.
Dasta, 64, formerly the associate dean
for curriculum and student services at the
college, started at the university as a profes-
sor in 1966 after completing his master's
degree in architectural engineering at the
University of Illinois because it seemed like
a "good place to start a career," he said.
He worked as a consultant while teaching
to become a registered architect and engineer,
he said. After 25 years as a professor, he has
spent the last 14 years in administration.
He will begin his new position Aug. 6,
according to a press release. His annual
salary as dean will be $176,274, the same as
his current salary, according to UF's human
resources and academic personnel depart-
ments.
During his time as interim dean,
Dasta said he hopes to increase gradu-
ate-student enrollment in the college and
broaden its international programs. He
said he wants to keep the college moving
while it awaits a new dean.
He has an open-door policy with stu-
dents, he said.
"When I'm a dean, students come
first," he said. "If I'm here, and you're
here, we talk."
Dasta has another two years left until
retirement when he can go fishing and
work on his golf handicap, he said. The
search for a new
U F dean should take
Administration about a year.
The college
has about 1,500
students and about 74 to 80 faculty mem-
bers so it is one of the smaller colleges at
the university, he said.
Andrew Wehle, Dasta's assistant in
student services, said he expects a smooth
transition because of Dasta's knowledge
of the college.
There will be no search to fill Dasta's
previous position, Wehle said. Dasta has
said he will continue to be involved in
student services.
We are looking for healthy males between the
ages of 18 50 to participate in a clinical research

UF students fight genocide one letter at a time
By ERIN CHALFANT
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF students are demanding the
President and representatives take
action against the genocide in the
p Darfur region of western Sudan.
Human Rights Awareness on
Campus has sent a total of 1,350
letters to President Bush, Sen. Mel
Martinez, Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep.
Cliff Stearns to urge them to take
action.
"We want to tell people about
these situations, and expose the ugly
truths behind the West's inaction,"
group President Nikolas Wolfe said.
The new student group, started in
March, has recruited 30 active mem-
bers and more than 200 students for'
its letter-writing campaign.
The letters implore legislators
to pass the Darfur Accountability
Act, which would establish United
Nations-sanctioned aid to the area's
peacekeepers and would create a
no-fly zone over Sudan.
Robert Uttaro, a 52-year-old UF
political science doctoral candidate,
said the only thing that could keep
the genocide in Darfur at the fore-'
front of American politics is college
students pushing the issue.
"The challenge for this gen-
eration is to get America-back on
the right side," said Uttaro, who has
taught courses on African politics at
UF and will be teaching an African
experience course in the Fall.
The United Nations estimates
a total of 400,000
Student Africans have been
Activism killed by govern-
ment-sponsored
raids since the "ethnic cleansing"
started in February 2003.
Uttaro said the United
States stopped calling the mur-
ders in Darfur genocide when
Condoleezza Rice became Secretary
of State in January, but the Darfur
Accountability Act may be able to
repair some damage.
He said the act is probably "al-
ready a dead horse" since'the White
House rejected it a few months ago,
but there is hope in mobilizing legis-
lators on local levels.
Wolfe, a political science major,
said the response from lawmakers so
far has been vague. One letter dated
July 6 from Steams said he "voted in
favor of a resolution that declared the
atrocities unfolding in Darfur, Sudan,
genocide" on July 22.
In April, the group won a $10,000
MTVu grant for its Darfur activism
as a start-up organization. Wolfe
said the organization's goal for the
summer is to continue to work and
to remember that the organization
was not just a fluke idea at the end
of spring.
"We want something to be
done," Wolfe said.
He said his group would like to
use the money from MTVu to spon-
sor a village in Sudan by sending
clothing, food and other supplies..
The organization is working
on getting speakers such as Don
Cheadle from "Hotel Rwanda" and
Paul Rusesabagina, the man his
character is based on, to speak at
UF in the Fall.

attendees "will be blown away with how
talented Wayne Brady is," adding he feels
Brady's performance will be unlike any-
thing Gator Growl has seen before.
Tickets Went on sale Wednesday, and
although Chase said he did not know how
many had been sold so far, he expected tick-
et sales to pick up now that Brady has been
named as part of the entertainment lineup.
Gator Growl is scheduled to take place
Oct. 7 at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, and
the first 15,000 student tickets, subsidized
to cost $5 by SG, can be purchased at the
University Box. Office in the lobby of the
Constans Theatre adjacent to the Reitz
Union. Tickets for non-students also can be
purchased for $18.
SG asked to engage underrepresented student groups
CULTURAL, from page 1
Sen. Jared Hemandez said he doesn't
see the SG engine running so smoothly.
"SG should not only be representative
of the students, but it should be reflective
of the. student body," he said. "There's still
a great many barriers that still need to be
broken in terms of race, sexual orientation
and gender."
Hernandez added the issues at hand
run deeper than a simple fix will address.
"The system that currently exists re-
quires groups to be politically motivated,
active and participatory," he said. "There
are institutional obstacles to tradition- .
ally underrepresented and marginalized.
groups."
But Pride Student Union President
Allison Andrews said her group has done
better recently than in past years.
"This past year was the first year that
we had really good representation," she
said. "I think that right now things are
good. More people are willing to be out
in Senate."
Asian Student Union President Sandy
Chiu said there is a shortage of Eastern
faces in SG.
"They have a fear that it's not the place
for them," she said of her constituents.
"Maybe they are afraid of SG in general.
It's harder for an Asian American to feel
like they belong at UE The outreach is not
Asian specific. A lot of people feel they are
not welcome in SG because they don't see
any Asian Americans in it."
"I think to have more people
in SG, people have to take the
initiative first."
Sandy Chiu
ASU president
She said SG members need to breathe
more multicultural air at campus events.
"It would be really helpful and advan-
tageous on SG's part if they would come
out to more multicultural events," she said.
"We can only do so much promoting."
Hernandez said SG needs to deepen its
interest in minority groups in an effort to
lure all students into the activities of UF's
student-run governing body.
"You have to engage populations of stu-
dents that haven't been engaged before," he
said. "They have to feel vested in the com-
munity I know we can do better. It takes
leaders who are willing to break barriers."
Chiu added that it has been difficult to
get efficient funding from SG because the
Budget Committee increases' organiza-
tional checkbooks by 5 percent each year,
which is too low for the "exponential"
growth of ASU.
"But there's only a certain amount
of money for student groups," she said.
"Everyone has the need for more money."
But she said she thinks the Asian
American community needs to take the
first step toward change.
Summer program director of the Jewish
Student Union Josh Sachs said his organi-.
zation is content with the state of its repre-
sentation in SG.
"I've never found a problem with get-
ting involved (in SG),"'he said. "You just
have to figure out what you want to do."
He said JSU does not tell its members
who to vote for in SG elections.
"The students are there to make their
own decisions," he said.
None of the multicultural groups men-
tioned require membership dues.
Senate President Pro-Tempore John
Boyles said senators tend to vote along
party lines rather than with their multicul-
tural comrades.
"Having a political party can been a
great tool to accomplish common goals,"
he said.

Batter up
Don't discount UF's
major-league potential
With summer in full swing, our hearts turn to the
world of baseball, where the tales of fortune and
disaster would make Kevin Costner blush.
There's the ongoing saga of the New York Yankees, the
team for whom George Steinbrenner has spent so much
money that Coleridge could pen a verse or two about
him.
With $208 million in the bank, the 25 men lucky enough
to play on the stately pleasure field that Ruth built remain
in second place with a win-loss record unremarkable in its
mediocrity.
Hint to Steinbrenner: buy five other teams. You can af-
ford it. Or the Kingdom of Tonga you could afford that,
too.
Speaking of low payroll and low expectations, no one
fits the bill like our "hometown" Tampa Bay Devil Rays,
the worst team in baseball.
Is it comforting to us, then, that the other team based in
Florida is winning only as many as it's losing? Ours must
be the worst state in the union for baseball fans.
Then again, Florida's infatuation with the game has
taken its share of lumps. We're a football state.
Or maybe Gainesville's a basketball city, too.
But it seems UE's contributions to the major leagues of
our national pastime have plenty of their own stories to
tell, and they're almost as plentiful as UF stars in other
sports. "
The Washington Nationals, led by former UF star Brad
Wilkerson, were written off as nobodies while they fought
hard to avoid last place while hailing from Montreal the
past few years.
Conditions became so bad that no one owned the team
all the other teams pitched in to buy a share to keep'the
franchise alive.
With a fresh start in D.C., they've become one of the best
teams in baseball. Wilkerson, while not an All-Star, has per-
formed admirably in center field for the Nats this year.
It goes to show that nothing is predictable, a lesson we
can all share.
Or take the story of David Eckstein, once the second
baseman here at UF and now the shortstop for the St.
Louis Cardinals.
Although loved by the folks in Anaheim, where he
started his career, he finally became an All-Star in St. Louis.
Playing for the best team in the league hasn't hurt him.
It's possible the Cards and Nats will face off in this
year's playoffs, and when they do it'll be a reunion of
Gators and of what UF does when it does something
right.
And don't forget former UF pitcher Josh Fogg, who's
held his head (and his record) above water despite pitch-
ing for the below-middling-Pittsburgh Pirates.
While none of these men have the explosive star power
of an Emmitt Smith or a Udonis Haslem, a baseball super-
star may be on the horizon faster than could be expected.
Look at the Gators this year. They weren't expected to
compete, and they made it to the brink of a national cham-
pionship.
Could Matt LaPorta be the next Albert Pujols? Could
Jeff Corsaletti become, well, the next Brad Wilkerson?
We don't know either, but you can bet we'll stay tuned.
Batter up.

Opinions
Super Lance, hero a
s mere mortals, we often look to the superhuman
for inspiration. One lives among us, and his name
is Lance Armstrong.
Webster's dictionary" defines superhuman as "being
above the human; exceeding normal human power, size
or capability."
After overcoming cancer that spread from his testicles
to his abdomen, lungs and brain, Armstrong was given a
50 percent chance to live.
He responded by winning the Tour de France a record
six times in a row and is currently on his way to lucky
number seven.
Before he was diagnosed with cancer, Armstrong had
never won the event.
The Tour de France is one of the most grueling athletic
competitions on the planet. It takes place over the course
of three weeks in July with only one or two days devoted
to rest for the whole race.
The 2005 Tour spans 2,240,miles with cyclists riding
more than 100 miles almost every day. The Tour begins
with 189 cyclists and often only half of them cross the fin-
ish line.
Imagine riding a bicycle from New York to Los Angeles
in less than a month, and then add in ample climbs of the
Alps and Pyrenees mountains for good measure.
In 1986, after 83 years of European domination,
America's Greg LeMond became the first non-European
to win the Tour de France.
At the time, this accomplishment was equivalent to
America winning the World Cup in soccer. Now, consider
Lance Armstrong's domination of the Tour for six straight
years, possibly seven.
How's that for perspective?
Armstrong's physical capability is rivaled by no other hu-

Aaron Blye man being on the planet. At the start
Blye's Eyes of the Tour, his body-fat level was
ablye@alligator.org about 4-5 percent. The average man
has between 15-17 percent, whereas
elite athletes are in the 6-12 range.
Somehow, Armstrong produces less lactic acid and
metabolizes it more effectively than most top athletes. It
is a physiological phenomenon that scientists have yet to
understand.
This ability allows him to spin the pedals around 100
times per minute on a mountain climb, a rate that would
turn his opponents' quads into Jell-O.
Armstrong's 83.8 score on the V02 Max test, used to
assess an athlete's aerobic ability by measuring maximum
oxygen consumption, is more than double that of a typi-
cal, healthy man.
His heart, which is a third larger than that of an average
male, is so strong that it beats about 32 times per minute at
rest, a rate'so low that any doctor who didn't know better
would immediately send him to the hospital.
Sounds more like a description of the newest comic-
book superhero than the attributes of a human being.
During Stage 9 of the 2003 Tour de France, Armstrong
was forced to off-road down a grassy embankment at 60
mph when a rival went down in front of him. How his 20
mm wide tires didn't explode is beyond comprehension.
Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali might have more
talent than him, but Lance Armstrong is the greatest
American athlete of all time.
With less than a week remaining in Armstrong's final
Tour de France, Americans should all tune into OLN and
see first hand what it means to be superhuman.

Power of language extends beyond phrases and clauses
If there are universals for everyone in the
human adventure, one of them must be
language.
Denying the power of language cannot be
done with a straight face. Unfortunately, the
same can be said of trying to find a comprehen-
sive definition of language that encompasses all
its varied uses and messy meanings.
We use the word for a lot of things: the lan-
guage of love, the language of war, computer
languages and so on.
As omnipresent as it is though, language
unfortunately is taken for granted in educa-
tion, in policy and in our every day lives. We
should not, as the President might say, misun-
derestimate language's many intricacies.
As native speakers of language, our minds
quickly and effortlessly combine these forms
to express thought. But I encourage you to
toss your grammar book out the window and
learn about these rules and forms from our
linguistics department.
The fun and interesting Introduction to
Linguistics (LIN3010) presents the study of
language through many rigorous, exciting
and often interrelated disciplines such as syn-
. tax, phonology, morphology, sociolinguistics,
writing systems and many more.
We draw conclusions from sociolinguistics
as to why language in education should be
more readily understandable.
In Texas, it has been shown that students
whose native language is Spanish and don't
know English will do better in education if
they continue learning both as time goes on..
It might have something to do with the
ability to compare and contrast the languages,
thereby deriving a superior understanding of
. what makes, language work, perhaps expand-
ing our mind to consider different possibilities.
People deserve a chance to learn as fully as
everyone else. Coming to America, being born
or being raised here isn't enough.
If older immigrants don't know English,
Christian and they don't use it
Waugh in their jobs, and they
The Final Frontier don't have the financial
wug gtor.org access to resources to
cwaugh@alligator.org learn the language, and
learn the language, and
if their friends don't
speak English, then how the hell can they be
expected to learn it?
Children certainly deserve such an oppor-
tunity, which is why we should strive to leave
no child behind as opposed to simply catering
to the lucky multilinguals.
And so, too, does language in
our normal lives go unappreciated.
Every word can have an effect on the mind.
Languages themselves may shape perceptions
on a neurobiological basis, if we are to believe
some neuroscientists.
One unfortunate trend belying crude,
unfeeling and unthinking ignorance is to call
things of supposed ill repute "gay." .
English's grammatical structure contains a
more pernicious and -covert trend: the obfus-
cation of women. From the generic pronoun
"he" to the order of women in phrases like
"men and women," women are implicitly put
second place all the time by almost all speak-
ers of the language.
One linguist at UF says we should say
"women and men" until it doesn't matter
anymore. I agree.
We should be freed by language, not im-
prisoned by it. Perhaps if people made a con-
scious effort to change this, their perceptions
might change.
But language is ever-changing. Its forms
shift and dance to the speech communities
of the day. Words and grammars are here one
day and gone the next.
We should not fear the change of language,
but welcome it, because language's power
comes from diversity.

Reduced library hours meet most students' needs
Editor: I am writing in response to the letter from graduate
assistant Ann Griswold complaining about library hours.
Each year, library staff develop a schedule of service hours
designed to meet the needs of UF's students, faculty and staff.
Traditionally, we offer shorter hours during the summer
and greatly reduced hours (including closing on weekends)
during intersessions.
Library use is significantly lower during these periods.
During the intersession between Summer and Fall, reduced
hours give the libraries time to gear up for the coming semester
and the library staff an opportunity to schedule the vacations
they have earned. Since we don't have redundant staffing, we
would be stretched thinly if several staff needed to be away
from the libraries during our peak periods.

Sam Proctor the real 'Gator to know'
During the past few weeks, many articles and editorials
have been published in newspapers across the state regarding
the UF Alumni Association's list of 81 "Gators to Know."
There is a man who more than deserves to be there, a true
UF alumnus who arguably has done more to advance the his-
tory of UF and the state than any other Samuel Proctor.
UF will never be the same without him. The first time I met
him, Dr. Proctor spent hours talking about not only the Johns
Committee but also other fascinating parts of UF's history.
UF was so much a part of his life. How many others can say
they have been on campus for almost 70 years?
Even though he had been ill for the past two years, when
visiting him, he would still recount names and events from the
past about professors, campus buildings and alumni.
He truly was a Gator standout and a great man every UF
alumnus should be proud of.

Renovated law library opens
* THE FACILITY STAYED IN
BUTLER PLAZA FOR A YEAR.
By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
Ilewis@alligator.org
UF's Levin College of Law
reopened its library on campus at
Holland Hall on-Friday after more
than a year of storing its legal re-
sources at Butler Plaza.
The newly renovated library
has been renamed the Lawton M.
Chiles Legal Information Center
and boasts an expansion of about
60,000 square feet, said Kathleen
Price, associate dean for Library
and Technology at the college.
"What used to be classrooms
are now part of the library," Price
said. "We put in new floors and
have new classroom towers."
In addition to the expansion,
Price said the library features cut-
ting-edge technology she hopes
will aid law students.
"It's a totally wireless campus,
and every classroom has all the lat-
est technologies," she said. "Some
are energy-savers, .like when
people are moving in a room, lights
will go on, and when the move-
ment stops they'll go off."
The facility has been closed
since April 2004, when all its
resources except reserve and tax
materials were moved to a storage
facility in Butler Plaza.
Despite the inconveniences
of an off-campus resource center,
Price said students'
SOn reactions were gener-
Campus ally positive.
"I think that was
what was most surprising to me
because I expected students to be
angry, and they were wonderful,"
she said. "Our students are a con-
genial group, and they've grown
accustomed to studying in the
woods around picnic tables."
Although the library only
closed in 2004, plans for its reno-
vation have been in the works for
years, Price said.
"The project began even before
I came here from NYU, so I'd say
it started four or five years ago,"
she said, adding that UF architec-
ture students helped in the initial
stages to determine the amount of
new space necessary.
Now that the center is reopen-
ing, Price said she hopes to draw
attention to its expansion and
technologies during a dedication
ceremony scheduled for Sept. 8.
"It's a football weekend, so
we're planning to have an open
house and tours the next day," she
said, adding that recently retired
Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day
0' Connor and members of the
Florida Supreme Court are slated
to make appearances at the event.
Although she looks forward
to the events surrounding the
library's dedication, Price said
she's eager for law students to be-
gin utilizing the renovated center's
new resources.
"We're very excited to provide
this space for students," she said.
"Just as the university is seeking to
become one of the Top 10 public in
the nation, so is the law school, and
I think this library will jumpstart
that."
Campus payment still free
IS IS, from page 1
pay thousands of dollars in
tuition while others only use
it to pay parking tickets.
"We couldn't come up.
with one single rate that
would be fair to everybody,"
he added.
However, the fee will not
impact credit card transac-
tions on campus, where VISA
still is accepted. It also will
not apply to debit card trans-
actions.
The fee likely will im-
pact students who do not
receive financial aid and
cannot afford paying tuition
with a checking account.
Undergraduate Florida
residents, who pay $2,955 per
year for 30 credits, would be
charged $76.83 for making
online credit card payments.
Out-of-state students would
pay $411.50 on their $15,827
annual tuition.
Hoskins said while credit
card tuition payments are
popular, they represented
a minority of the payment
methods.
"Last time we did an
analysis, just about half of the
[tuition] fees get paid for by
financial aid," Hoskins said
He added the majority of
the remaining half is paid for
by the fee-free methods of
cash or check.
Transferring funds to UF
electronically from a check-
ing account, known as EFT,
will remain free and will be
processed immediately in-
stead of taking three to four
days also starting July 26.
Tuition payments via
credit card can be made fee-
free at S-113 Criser Hall.

Craze sweeps
UF college
By JAYME GOUGH
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF's College of Health and
Human Performance is on the ball
- literally.
Outreach coordinator Cher
Harris, 31, started the craze with her
purple exercise ball.
Staff and faculty passing by her
office would catch Harris sitting on
her exercise ball while typing at her
computer. Her high-backed office
chair sat abandoned in the comer
of the room.
"I started using it in 1999 when I
was getting my master's in Exercise
Physiology at the University of
Indiana, and the balls were just get-
ting popular," Harris said. "There are
so many health benefits that go along
with sitting on the ball, and when I
explain that to people, they get curi-
ous and want to try it themselves."
Harris started a trend that spread
quickly among the college's faculty.
Eleven faculty members so far have
traded their office chairs for exercise
balls, including the college's interim
dean, Jill Vames.
"We spend a lot of time at work,"
Vames said. "We need to have some
fun, and this a safe way to get some
low-impact exercise and bum a
couple extra calories while working.

aware of your posture, Harris said.
In the beginning, it is difficult be-
cause if you slouch you feel very un-
stable, and if you aren't used to keep-
ing your back straight, your muscles
will hurt by the end of the day.
Harris explained when a person
slouches they depend on their lower
back muscles to hold up their torso
instead of their abdominal muscles.
This.causes lower back pain, weak
abdominal muscles, cartilage de-
terioration and permanent spine
curvature.
As people who slouch age, they
eventually are unable to straighten
their spines and end up with
humps.
"I would say posture is the most
important part of being fit and
healthy because it affects all activi-
ties and everything yofi do in daily
life," Harris said.
It is especially important for
women because of bone density is-
sues, Harris said.
(352) 381-3100
Women are more susceptible
to osteoporosis than men because,
during menopause, bone density
decreases as women lose calcium,
and the bones in the spine break
or shrink. Sitting straight could
decrease harmful stress on the back
'that worsens osteoporosis.
"Sitting on the ball has made all
activities much easier," Harris said.
"I don't have any back pain, and
my core muscles are strong."
DeEtta Harissen, 34, is a pro-
gram assistant in the college's
Office of Student Affairs. She has
sat on the ball for the past two
weeks and said she already feels
the impact the ball has had on her
quadriceps, gluteus muscles and
legs.
"Students notice and say things
like 'nice seat' or 'That's different,'"
Hanssen said. "It makes a lot of stu-
dents smile, because you don't real-
ize what you look like when you
start bouncing without thinking."
Hanssen said as she became ac-
climated to the ball, boring office
tasks weren't as difficult to finish.
"I did a lot of data entry into
a computer today, but I don't
feel the mental fatigue I normally
would have begun to feel by now,"
Hanssen said.
Harris suggests beginning ball-
users start by sitting on the ball in
one-hour intervals.
"It sounds ludicrous, but sitting
up straight in the beginning is tir-
ing," Harris said.
She said K-mart sells the balls
for around $13.

Secondary prepares for more man-to-man coverage
* A KEY INTERCEPTION IN THE 2004
GAME AGAINST FSU MAY PROVE A
BUILDING BLOCK FOR HERRING.
By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Staff Writer
eesteban@alligator.org
With a crucial game on the line, some-
body in the secondary needed to step up.
Ideas were on a swivel as tomahawk
chops churned in unison to the tune of the
Marching Chiefs and it seemed as if the
Gators were destined for yet another late-
game meltdown with Florida State driving
into UF territory.
But the final game of the regular season
brought promising signs for the 2005 cam-
paign. In the closing seconds against FSU,
Jarvis Herring's game-clinching intercep-
tion showed that the safety should be a
force in his final season.
Now a senior, Herring cemented his
spot at the strong safety position through-
out the spring after becoming a mainstay
on the 2004 secondary.
His ability to read the offense and be
at the right place at the right time helped
him lead the Gators last year with four
interceptions.
"I'm not a fast guy or a guy who will
run you a 4.3," Herring said. "I just don't
have that kind of speed. But I'm one that's
going to keep hustling to the ball on every
play and I'll be the last man standing."
While Herring might not be -a blazing
speedster,
S i junior Dee
110"M MI Ai ig Webb brings
i plenty of
speed to the
secondary.
Webb, who competed with the track
team in the spring to' improve his speed,
emerged as the Gators' top cornerback last
year after leading UF in pass breakups
with 10.
UF should be playing a lot more man-
to-man coverage this year, and that's an
opportunity that Webb is already savor-
ing.
"Man coverage is my favorite coverage
and we didn't run it too much until the
end of last season," he said. "I like that
a lot because I feel like I can shut down
anybody at anytime, so by [Coach Urban
Meyer] implementing that, I can be more
physical with the receiver."
An even bigger surprise for the UF sec-
ondary in 2004 turned out to be the rapid
on-field maturation of sophomore Kyle
Jackson.
Jackson started the Gators' final four
games last year and looked like a natural
at the free safety position; snatching two
interceptions in UF's 48-14 win against
South Carolina.
The biggest question in the secondary
is who will lock up the second cornerback
spot.
Senior Vernell Brown emerged from
the spring as the starter, but he will have
to hold off up-and-comers like Reggie
Lewis, twin broth-
ers Tremaine and
Jermaine McCollum
and true freshman
Avery Atkins.
The dark horse
in the race could be
sophomore safety
Reggie Nelson.
Nelson has all the

lnr t)Js
intangibles to be a force in the SEC, but
. a transition to cover corner would have
to be learned in a small amount of time.
At 6-foot-I, 175 pounds, he possesses the
ideal frame for a starting corner and is ath-
letic enough to get on the field as the year
progresses.
Sophomore Tony Joiner and junior
Terrence Holmes should also give quality
depth in the secondary because of their
game experience. Joiner is a close friend
with Jackson and the relationship has
helped him become even more knowl-
edgeable on the field.
"[Kyle] being out there and playing is
kind of like a mentor to me, because he
played last year and I didn't," Joiner said.
"So he sees things I don't see."

Donovan criticizes NBA's minimum-age requirement
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
Donnell Harvey, Kwame
Brown, Mike Miller, Christian
Drejer the list of players who
have deferred to complete their
basketball apprenticeships under
UF coach Billy Donovan grows
longer.
At the helm of a program that
lQst nearly 40 percent of its scor-
ing after former UF junior guards
Anthony Roberson and Matt
Walsh opted to go pro last month,
Donovan would seem to be the
poster boy for raising the NBA
age limit.
But the coach burned so fre-
quently by early departures of-
fered criticism of the NBA's recent-
ly adopted 19-year-old minimum
entry age during a teleconference
on Monday.
As part of the NBA's collective
bargaining agreement with the
player's union last month, the
league raised its minimum age
from 18.
Starting in 2006, all NBA draft
entrants must be at least 19 years
old, which effectively eliminates
the opportunity of high school
prospects skipping college to head
straight to the pros.
"Personally, I don't like it,"
Donovan said. "I think it creates
more confusion in our game at the
college level."
Donovan explained that from
speaking with NBA scouts, colle-
giate coaches have a good idea of
1A

Several players have left the UF men's basketball program before their third year in college. Coach Billy
Donovan suggested using an eligibility rule in basketball similar to the one used in college baseball.
which potential signees are likely
to jump straight to the league.
Under the old regulation,
coaches could maximize their re-
cruiting time by concentrating on
prospects not pegged for the pros.
Now, with the new age limit
forcing future NBA superstars to
spend a year out of high school,
coaches must face the burden of
convincing talented but potential
two-, three, and four-year play-
ers, to commit to a program as a
reserve for an unknown amount
of time.
"I think it's very difficult in
college when you sign a real good
player, and you spend an enor-
mous amount of time [recruiting
him]," Donovan said, "and then
he's only there for a year and
leaves."
Donovan did acknowledge that
players, such as former Syracuse
star Carmelo Anthony, have made
significant impacts on their respec-
tive teams in only one year.
But he also noted the difficulty
in a program recovering from such
a loss.
Donovan also pointed out the
adjustment period many first-year
collegiate players encounter could
injure an NBA prospect's stock.
"I think it creates unrealistic
expectations for a young man,"
Donovan said. "I don't care if it's
high school to college or college to
the NBA. Anytime you change lev-
els and the competition changes,
there's always a period of adjust-
ment."
While the coach admitted he
couldn't offer a perfect solution,
Donovan pointed to baseball's
policy as a preferable example.
High school baseball players
have the option of jumping to the
big leagues immediately. However,
once a player has signed with a
college, he must remain there for
three years.
"Selfishly, the best thing for our
game would be a situation like
baseball," Donovan said. "I think
that will make it a little easier for
us transition-wise.
"But at the same point, it's not
fair to a young man that has the
option to leave after his freshman
or sophomore year and can make a
lot of money to maybe change the
lifestyle of his family."
At 60, Spurrier shouldn't have to deal with South Carolina mess
There was a day not so long ago when
South Carolina landing on probation
equaled a page seven story, buried
somewhere between UCF football and the
NHL.
But when the NCAA announced the
discovery of ten violations under Lou Holtz
throughout a three-year period, the interest
in Gainesville exploded.
About five hours northeast of town, Steve
Spurrier hides under his USC visor to escape
the scorching sun blazing on a ritzy South
Carolina golf course.
Today the 60-year-old Spurrier, once
crowned "Wonderboy" in Gainesville, is old
enough to utilize many senior citizen golf
discounts.
You'd expect a man like Spurrier to retire
at 60 and play golf, drive to the beach and

drool at girls in bikinis, or do whatever it is
retired millionaires do.
Instead, you can turn on the TV and find
Spurrier wearing a red Gamecocks vest. He
looks much more weary these days, worn
out with the. season still more than a month
away.
The first summer of Spurrier's seventh
decade hasn't been so kind to the ol' ball
coach. After watching several of his players
run afoul with the law, Spurrier must deal
with the violations.
No, South Carolina won't be slapped with
the most serious penalties. Spurrier and Co.
have requested two years of probation and a
minor reduction in scholarships.
But it's painfully obvious the Gamecocks
are far from competing for a SEC title, some-
thing USC has never accomplished.

Meyer, Steve Spurrier and off-the-

Steve, buddy, pal,

doing in Columbia?
You once laid claim to

Some say it's Spurrier's enormous ego,
desperate to prove that he can single-hand-
edly resurrect a program like he did at Duke
and UF (shhh, we'll pretend the NFL coach-
ing gig was a dream or something).
Let's get real. If South Carolina wins the

Some will argue that Spurrier found him-
self in a similar situation when he became
UF's head man, but the talent-rich state of
Florida seemed to be waiting for the Age of
Spurrier. History doesn't repeat itself, not
like that.
So why, at Spurrier's age, would he want
to take over a program that's a long-term in-
vestment? Even Pat Riley, also regarded as a
fading legend, will only accept a coaching gig
likely to result in a shiny championship ring.
Spurrier may claim he balked at the UF
job because he wanted a new challenge, but
do you really believe he would rather coach
South Carolina than a familiar UF team
loaded with talent.
In all likelihood, Spurrier never expected

AA: Do you have an opportunity to golf often?
BM. I thought when I moved to Florida that I
would eolt a lot, but I haven t been able
to get our much. But I golf once a month
anyway.
AA. When you arrived in Gainesville, were you
surprised at the enthusiasm surrounding UF
sports?
BM: Well, actually, I knew it was one of the top
overall programs in Ihe country. I measure
that not so much by football, which a lot
of schools have, but by the depth or the
program especially women's sports I
was verve impressed coming in by the qual-
ity of the swimming and diving team, the
women s soccer team, the gymnastics team
and the volleyball team. Women's basket-
ball had a rough go. but I knew it was a good
program.
AA: What about just the overall fan support?

that's a lot.
BM: I've never seen anything like it. At most
places-including Michigan, which is a
pretty fair football school-never would
spring sports and the spring game have
the kind of attraction that it does here.
Many schools are doing away with the
spring game. Obviously that wouldn't work
here given the fan interest in making it
happen. But I realized a number of things.
First, last fall going through a coaching
search win a.11 the help that I received, I
h realized there's a lot of
people paying attention

rn football. And generally

and seeing the enthu-
e n siasm outpour for him,

different place.
AA: How strange is it hir-
ing Urban Meyer twice, and what's so special
aoout n.m?
BM: I remember the last time I saw Coach
Meyer before I came to Florida. Utah played
Southern Mississippi in the Liberth Bowl
on New Near's Eve day. The n6i.t morning I
was checking out of the hotel at 7 a.m. and
Urban was down at the lobby. We hugged
and I said, "go get 'em. Urban." I figured
that was it. Then, the idea of us hiring him
[at UF| never even got in my head. It was
Jeremy Foley who really decided that s the
person we wanted. BItL I knew Urban. I knew
his values are what a coach ought to have.
He s family list and he lakes care ot his
athletes the way any c:ach would want his
atnletes to ne taken care of. He also loves
the university. He will never do anything to
embarrass the university. Most of the people
now hali: become familiar with now he be-
haves and now important the university is
to him. We're lucky to have an Urban Meyer
at the University of Florida, any university ,
would be.
AA: Are you troubled by the increase in off-the-
field incidents in college sports?
BM' Yes, I am. I think it was one of Urban's pri-
orities both at Utah and here that in order
to be a champion you ve got to live right off
the field. You've got to perform well in the
classroom as well as on the field It was
something I knew would be a nignil impor-
tant issue for him. I don t Know how these
tiversiies can look thernsel.es in the mir-
ror with all the stuff that's going on.
AA: What about in pro sports? What went
through your head when you saw the
Pistons-Pacers brawl back in November?
BM: That was a disgrace to athletics. A lot of
that had to do with alcohol. You saw the
beers that were flying around. I've been to
the Palace of Auburn Hills and it's a great
facility. But it's a pro atmosphere with lots of
alcohol, and the crowd sort of gets worked
up over that. I don't think it helped college
sports or pro sports at all.
AA: Is there something that can be done?
Obviously they're not going to ban alcohol at
pro sporting events.
BM; I think it's had a sobering effect on every-
one when they saw just how out of control it
was. I'd be surprised if it happened again. I
think the NBA has really made it clear where
the line is. and you shouldn't cross that line.
Maybe that line wasn I as clearly marked
before this as it is now I think it will take
care of itself.
4A. Switching gears a ont. Steve Spurrier is a
legend at UF. but now he's a rival. Is he still
a Gator?
BM: I think Steve will always be a Gator. He
still has a home here in Gainesville and he
says ne wants to come here to retire. I wish
he would have come nere to retire sooner
rather than later ilaugnsi. I do think we're
going to have some spirited competition
now that he's at South Carolina, but at the
end of the day Steve Spurrier is and always
will be a Gator.
AA: Are you looking forward to the game in
Columbia?
BM I'm rot going. I don't do away games. I
think the rivalry will heat up and I think
it will be good for college sports. I know
Coach Meyer's looking forward to it, and I
bet Coach Spurrier is looking forward to it
as well.
#ABRAMSON, from page 19
UF to find a better coach than him (what? That's blasphemy
in the Book of Steve).
UF did it right. At 40, Urban Meyer could be Spurrier's son
(adopted, of course-they don't exactly appear biologically
related).
In the last few years, Meyer led an unheralded Utah team
to a Fiesta Bowl championship. Spurrier led Redskins owner
Daniel Snyder to the insane asylum (or was it the other way
around?)
But enough Urban praising and Spurrier bashing, because
Spurrier could have been a solid No. 2 choice for the UF job.
Spurrier can flat out coach in the college level, and he de-
serves better.
There weren't many high profile job openings this season
- I can't picture Spurrier being an ideal fit in Catholic South
Bend. Talk about the odd couple.
But how about, dare I say it, the Florida State job next
season. Bobby Bowden's time is up, he's old enough to be
Spurrier's dad (possibly not adopted, in an eerie Darth Vader-
Luke Skywalker sort of relationship).
Imagine what the 01' Ball Coach could do in Tallahassee.
Recruiting in South Carolina is a daunting task, especially
with Clemson in the mix. The high school talent in South
Carolina and Florida isn't even comparable.
And there will be other jobs available. Another Texas loss
to Oklahoma could mean the inevitable oust of Mack Brown.
I 'know the golfing in South Carolina is second to none, but
if Spurrier really wanted to coach this late in his life, why not
aim for the greatest reward of all a second national title.
For now, Spurrier and the 'Cocks will remain page one
news around the SEC, especially in Gainesville.
But for how long?

the independent florida Not officially associated with the University of Florida Pblshed by Camopus ConouniCationSInc. of Gaesville. Flonda We Inform. You Decide. Recycle TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 By CRYSTAL HENRY Alligator Writer csenry@aIIigator.org Gator Growl officials have selected "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" comedian Wayne Brady as the headlining act for this October's event. Brady, an Orlando native who has won two Emmy awards including one for "Whose Line.," will join a who's who of past performers, such as Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno, at the world's largest student-run pep rally. Brady's talent coordinator, Colleen McGarr, said Brady will work closely with Carmody and the rest of the Gator Growl staff to tailor his act specifically for this year's show. "He's from Orlando, so he's super familiar with Gator Growl," McGarr said. She said Brady agreed to perforn at UF for a number of reasons, but mainly because, like for many performers, Gator Growl is like a right of passage -they all want to do it once. McGarr said Brady is the first performer of his kind at Gator Growl because he will incorporate comedy, music and improvisation all in one show. Growl spokeman Chris Chase said Brady will be paid $65,000 for a 45-minute performance. Last year's headliner, Blue Collar Comedy Tour's Bill Engvall, was paid $90,000 for his Gator Growl appearance. Although the Florida Blue Key event has a smaller budget this year and had to request a provision of almost $200,000 from Student Government, the "Revenge of the Swamp"-themed show will go on, Gator Growl Producer Rob Carmody said. Carmody said he still is searching for opening acts but doesn't want to get students' hopes up by naming any of the possibilities until he knows whom he will get to commit. Students can also audition to be part of the event at a talent night to be held within the next few weeks, Chase said. Both Carmody and Chase noted everything is right on schedule for what will be Gator Growl's 80th year, and Carmody, who SEE GROWL, PAGE 5 At Criser Hall (above), students can pay their bills in several ways without facing a new service charge. By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org Students who use ISIS to pay university obligations, such as tuition, with a credit card will see a charge added to their transactions next week in a move a UF administrator says is meant to encourage the use of less costly payment methods. Starting July 26, a 2.6-percent service charge will be added to all credit card payments made through ISIS on UF's Web site to offset the fees charged to the university to process the payments. UF Senior Associate Controller Stuart Hoskins said UF students pay more than $40 million in tuition each year, and the fees to cover credit card payments made by a minority of students are paid for by all students. "That's why we had to make this decision," he said. Hoskins added that administrators, who announced the upcoming fee Friday via e-mail, have considered adding the fee since January. Credit card companies charge UF about 2 percent of the total to process online transactions. The extra 0.6 percent UF is charging students will cover the cost of hiring a processing company. "What we tried to do was go back and charge this to the students who were using the credit cards," he said. "We know increasing any fees isn't popular with students." -VISA, the most frequently used credit card on ISIS, declined to accept the 2.6-percent service charge and no longer will be accepted on ISIS. VISA would have allowed the convenience fee if UF charged a flat fee to all students, Hoskins said, but that was not feasible since some students use ISIS to SEE ISIS, PAGE 8 IM tultur Igroups seek improved representation Editor's note: This is the second story in a series taking a closer look at the hidden structures of Student Government. By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org With opinions as diverse as their backgrounds, students in multicultural groups seem to agree on one thing: there is room for improvement in Student Government's representation of minority students. Senate President Diane Kassim, the highest ranking African American woman in SG history, said the path to her position was riddled with challenges. "I'm not going to say it was easy at all," she said. "I took chances. There were several situations where I thought I would never bea part of (Student) Senate again." Kassim said she feels SG is treading the high road of diversification. "I believe that [SG] is a better reflection of the student body, more so than the administration," she said. "The numbers are moving up. (But) there's always room for improvement." Hispanic Student Association Vice President of Operations and District Student D Sen. Laura Gonzalez said Government there are very few hoops to jump through in order to get to the SG finish line. "I was chosen based on my qualifications," she said. "I don't think being a minority made it more difficult in any way. I found it a very welcoming environment. Every facet of school is represented." SG adviser Chris Cupoli said he believes SG is on the path toward boasting a group of representatives just as multifaceted as UF's student body. "Just looking around the third floor (of the Reitz Union), I think it is more diverse than it has been," he said. "It's a fairly diverse room. It's not all old, white guys anymore at UP."

At 12:01 a.m. July 16, the crowd in Books-A-Million on 13th Street erupted in cheers as an employee behind the registers lifted a book into the air -the first of approximately 450 books sold in the first hour and a half. "Harry Potter and the HalfBlood Prince" was no longer a secret. Scholastic Inc., the global children's publishing and media company, printed and shipped 10.8 million copies of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" -filling more than 600 trucks -in preparation for the biggest book release in history, according to a company press release. More than 5,000 stores nationwide held midnight parties to celebrate the release of J.K. Rowing's sixth Potter book. "It's like Christmas in July," said Clay Whittaker, a caf6 associate at Books-A-Million. "The excitement grows as the minutes tick away to midnight." Harry Potter fans scoured the store looking for any Harry Potter accessories they could find, including books, pencils and the now famous black Harry Potter eyeglasses. After being separated into one of four houses -Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin -each customer visited one of the four activity "classrooms" in the store. Jessica Stephens, a 13-year-old fan who arrived just after 9 pm. to take part in the festivities, said it was weird being in Slytherin when her stepsister was in Gryffindor. The two houses are pitted against each other in the books. Fans were dressed in such elaborate costumes that customers had a hard time distinguishing between reality and the fantasy world of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "t wasn't expecting Professor Trelawney to be here," Stephens said, motioning to a woman dressed as one of the book's characters, complete with long, curly silver hair, a crystal ball and eyeglasses that magnified her eyes to twice their normal size. The winners of the best overall costume contest, Ryan Tamay and Alex Geoffroy, were dressed as a Slytherin quidditch player and a hippogriff, respectively. A hippogriff is a magical creature that looks like a giant eagle and horse. Ashley Powers, who dressed as Harry's sidekick, know-it-all Hermione Granger, came to win Books-A-Million's Harry Potter trivia contest. Cradling a stuffed dragon named Norbert, Powers entered the contest but did not win. However, she was still excited about receiving her book and said she was going to start reading it the minute she got it. "I'm going to stay up until six in the morning if I have to," she said. Stephens, on the other hand, said she was going to go to sleep and start reading in the morning, since it was only going to take her about three or four hours to finish the 672-page book. "I've read each one about 16 times -except the fourth," she said. "I've read that one about 40 times." As customers filed out of the store with their books in hand at about 1:30 a.m., Books-A-Mllion employees surveyed the aftermath. Luke Schmidt, the store's general manager, said the number of people who attended the event was much higher than the last. "I was stupefied," he said, rubbing his eyes as he sat in the back office after the event ended. -AMANDA BROWN The Alligator strives to be accurate and clear in its news reports and -editorials.

TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 3 E A FORUM ON THE LONGDEBATED SUBJECT WILL TAKE PLACE WEDNESDAY. By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@aIligator.org Students are invited to act as senators by debating and casting ballots on the issue of online voting in Student Government elections at a forum Wednesday night, Senate President Diane Kassim said. "If the Senate ignores what the students say," Kassim said, "that says a lot about the Student Senate." The issue has been raised and quashed in Senate since Fall 2001, when students had the option of x'oting online in a trial run of the system that 600 voters used. Gainesville-based networking company Accelerated Data Works, Inc. conducted the trial. Kent Tambling, the firm's vice president of operations, said no security weaknesses were found. He said he has spoken to SG every year since and assured them each time the system was secure. "I felt the answers I was giving were not the ones they were looking for," he said. "I felt they were looking for weaknesses." Former Student Body Treasurer Dennis Ngin speculated political motives may have suppressed the issue in the past. "If more people vote, better representatives will be elected and some people don't like that," Ngin said. Sen. Jared Hernandez, chairman of the Online Voting Revisions Committee, said his group has arrived at two options for online voting, which it has termed "secure site" and "unsecure site." Secure-site voting involves monitored polling locations that require photo identification. Its advantage is students can vote at any polling location, instead of only at their respective colleges. With an unsecure site system, students can vote from almost any computer with an Internet connection. Tambling said IP addresses, which identify computers logged onto specific networks such as campus wireless networks, can be frozen to prevent party members from campaigning by using their laptops to ask students to vote on the spot. Addresses also can be timed out to prevent multiple votes from the same computer. Hernandez expressed concern that unsecure-site voting would not protect students' a n 0 n y m Student ity, allowing Government them to be coerced from over their shoulders. "It's up to the individual voter to protect their own rights to vote," Tambling said, adding such a case would be no different from absentee ballots. Committee member Sen. Gareth Kerr expressed discomfort about the terms "secure site" and "unsecure site." "I don't like the terminology because I think it's all secure," he said. Both forms use 128-bit encryption, code even the U.S. government has not been able to break. Santa Fe Community College and Florida International University use online voting for their SG elections. "You can pick up your cell phone and vote in Student Government elections," said Dan Rodkin, associate director for student life at SFCC. The switch to online voting could save approximately $30,000 each election, Hernandez said. The forum will be held at 7 p.m. in room 282 of the Reitz Union. By DOUGLAS BONEPARTH Alligator Contributing Writer For UF staff, life is pretty good. A survey of more than 8,000 UF employees showed a high level of contentment with work environments at the university as well as benefits and career-development opportunities. Of those surveyed, 84 percent said they would recommend UF as a good place to work, compared to the national average of 77 percent. As far as school spirit is concerned, 83 percent of respondents said they were proud to be part of the UF community, right on par with the national average. About 61 percent of those offered the survey, which was designed by Chicago-based International Survey Research, responded. "Survey results indicate that our staff thoroughly enjoys the working conditions here," UF President Bermie Machen said in a press release. On the other hand, the survey revealed that the same group reported a low level of satisfaction with pay and internal communications. "Staff pay is a major concern and we recognize that issue. Pay is one of our highest priorities, and the upcoming 3.6 percent salary increase is a step in the right direction," Machen said. Machen Another area UFpresident of dissatisfaction among UF staff involves the implementation of the PeopleSoft accounting software. PeopleSoft, blamed for multiple personnel and payroll issues in the year following its activation, has made their jobs more challenging, staffers said. As for improvement in software, Vice President for Human Resources Kyle Cavanaugh said UF has an ongoing plan to ease employees' relationship with PeopleSoft. "PeopleSoft is much more than an information system; it's nothing short of a cultural change," he said. "It requires a different thinking process, but over time we will see improvement." Cavanaugh said the majority of staffers believe the PeopleSoft situation soon will improve because familiarity and knowledge of the system is increasing rapidly. Machen said in the release UF will use the results, along with other information, to create a strategy to continue to improve the administration's relationship with university staff. "Attracting and retaining quality staff is a key to our pursuit of becoming a Top 10 institution," he said. "The survey results are an important tool in helping us do just that." r ------i j. rr v vv oVt/w -r w Lt vvI wv-yr wv LU'LIr Name: Serena Barry 8 Class: UF Senior Major: Elementary Education 0 Hobbies: Reading, Watching TV, hanging out with my friends, adjust relaxing W/hy d& I dcnatelPlzmau This coupon good r hp savelie st'1easy for an extra $5 on /or acll& e&g u e b1Udg your 2nd and 4th donation.

4, ALLIGATOR M TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 Bob Graham to visit UF By ASHLEY JONES Alligator Contributing Writer Retired U.S. Senator and UF alumnus Bob Graham will visit UF on Thursday to discuss a center for public service planned for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Graham will hold an open forum for faculty, staff and students at 2 p.m. in the Keene Faculty Center at 103 Dauer Hall to discuss the new Bob Graham Center for Public Service. The facility will be dedicated to training college students in languages, culture and other skills vital to a career in public service. "Graham has been talking with UF since the Spring about establishing this center," said Allyson Beutke, spokeswoman for the college. Some of the issues Graham will discuss at the forum include the opening date for the center, how the center will operate and how it will be funded. "The center, like the other programs in the College of Liberay Arts and Sciences, will receive state money," leutke said. "But Graham will also solicit for donations from private donors." Plans for the Graham Center include implementing a Statesmen-inResidence Program, which will invite prominent U.S. and international leaders to UF to conduct research and give seminars, Beutke said. The center also will hold interdisciplinary forums, provide an internship program and eventually, through CLAS, offer bachelor's and master's degrees in public policy, Beutke said. Graham will teach courses at UF and serve as a Senior Scholar in Residence, but will not preside as the center's coordinator, Beutke said. A professor from the college most likely will hold that position. College gets interim dean 0 TONY DASTA WILL LEAD THE COLLEGE OF DESIGN BY AUG. 6. By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Contributing Writer Tony Dasta knew he would become an architect and teach, but he didn't expect a 39-year stint at UF, a tenure that culminated in his appointment as the interim dean of the College of Design, Construction and Planning last week. Dasta, 64, formerly the associate dean for curriculum and student services at the college, started at the university as a professor in 1966 after completing his master's degree in architectural engineering at the University of Illinois because it seemed like a "good place to start a career," he said. He worked as a consultant while teaching to become a registered architect and engineer, he said. After'25 years as a professor, he has spent the last 14 years in administration. -te will begin his new position Aug. 6, according to a press release. His annual salary as dean will be $176,274, the same as his current salary, according to UF's human resources and academic personnel departments. During his time as interim dean, Dasta said he hopes to increase graduate-student enrollment in the college and broaden its international progra ms. He said he wants to keep the college moving while it awaits a new dean. He has andopen-door policy with students, he said. "When I'm a dean, students come first," he said. "If I'm here, and you're here, we talk." Dasta has another two years left until retirement when he can go fishing and work on his golf handicap, he said. The search for a new UF dean should take Administration about a year. The college has about 1,500 students and about 74 to 80 faculty members so it is one of the smaller colleges at the university, he said. Andrew Wehle, Dasta's assistant in student services, said he expects a smooth transition because of Dasta's knowledge of the college. There will be no search to fill Dasta's previous position, Wehle said. Dasta has said he will continue to be involved in student services. Protect yourself against AIDS. THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY. So.

TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 5 UF sudens fiht genocid e one letter at a t"m By ERIN CHALFANT Alligator Contributing Writer UF students are demanding the President and representatives take action against the genocide in the Darfur region of western Sudan. Human Rights Awareness on Campus has sent a total of 1,350 letters to President Bush, Sen. Mel Martinez, Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Cliff Stearns to urge them to take action. "We waiL to tell people about these situations, and expose the ugly truths behind the West's inaction," group President Nikolas Wolfe said. The new student group, started in March, has recruited 30 active members and more than 200 students for its letter-writing campaign. The letters implore legislators to pass the Darfur Accountability Act, which would establish United Nations-sanctioned aid to the area's peacekeepers and would create a no-fly zone over Sudan. Robert Uttaro, a 52-year-old UF political science doctoral candidate, said the only thing that could keep the genocide in Darfur at the forefront of American politics is college students pushing the issue. "The challenge for this genration is to get America-back on the right side," said Uttaro, who has taught courses on Africati politics at UF and will be teaching an African experience course in the Fall. The United Nations estimates a total of 400,000 Student Africans have been ACUti RiSi killed by government-sponsored raids since the "ethnic cleansing" started in February 2003. Uttaro said the United States stopped calling the murders in Darfur genocide when Condoleezza Rice became Secretary of State in January, but the Darfur Accountability Act may be able to repair some damage. He said the act is probably "already a dead horse" since the White House rejected it a few months ago, but there is hope in mobilizing legislators on local levels. Wolfe, a political science major, said the response from lawmakers so far has been vague. One letter dated July 6 from Stearns said he "voted in favor of a resolution that declared the atrocities unfolding in Darfur, Sudan, genocide" on July 22. In April, the group won a $10,000 MTVu grant for its Darfur activism as a start-up organization. Wolfe said the organization's goal for the summer is to continue to work and to remember that the organization was not just a fluke idea at the end of spring. "We want something to be done," Wolfe said. He said his group would like to use the money from MTVu to sponsor a village in Sudan by sending clothing, food and other supplies. The organization is working on getting speakers such as Don Cheadle from "Hotel Rwanda" and Paul Rusesabagina, the man his character is based on, to speak at UF in the Fall. SG asked to engage underrepresented student groups CULTURAL from page I Sen. Jared Hernandez said he doesn't see the SG engine running so smoothly. "SG should not only be representative of the students, but it should be reflective of the student body," he said. "There's still a great many barriers that still need to be broken in terms of race, sexual orientation and gender." Hernandez added the issues at hand run deeper than a simple fix will address. "The system that currently exists requires groups to be politically motivated, active and participatory," he said. "There are institutional obstacles to traditionally underrepresented and marginalized. groups." But Pride Student Union President Allison Andrews said her group has done better recently than in past years. "This past year was the first year that we had really good representation," she said. "I think that right now things are good. More people are willing to be out in Senate." Asian Student Union President Sandy Chiu said there is a shortage of Eastern faces in SG.

6, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 Batter up Don't discount UF's major-league potential W itlh summer in full swing, our hearts turn to the world of baseball, where the tales of fortune and disaster would make Kevin Costner blush. There's the ongoing saga of the New York Yankees, the team for whom George Steinbrenner has spent so much money that Coleridge could pen a verse or two about him. With $208 million in the bank, the 25 men lucky enough to play on the stately pleasure field that Ruth built remain in second place with a win-loss record unremarkable in its mediocrity. Hint to Steinbrenner: buy five other teams. You can afford it. Or the Kingdom of Tonga -you could afford that, too. Speaking of low payroll and low expectations, no one fits the bill like our "hometown" Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the worst team in baseball. Is it comforting to us, then, that the other team based in Florida is winning only as many as it's losing? Ours must be the worst state in the union for baseball fans. Then again, Florida's infatuation with the game has taken its share of lumps. We're a football state. Or maybe Gainesville's a basketball city, too. But it seems UF's contributions to the major leagues of our national pastime have plenty of their own stories to tell, and they're almost as plentiful as UF stars in other sports. The Washington Nationals, led by former UF star Brad Wilkerson, were written off as nobodies while they fought hard to avoid last place while hailing from Montreal the past few years. Conditions became so bad that no one owned the lean' all the other teams pitched in to buy a share to keep'lhe franchise alive. With a fresh start in D.C., they've become one of the best teams in baseball. Wilkerson, while not an All-Star, has performed admirably in center field for the Nats this year. It goes to show that nothing is predictable, a lesson we can all share. Or take the story of David Eckstein, once the second baseman here at UF and now the shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals. Although loved by the folks in Anaheim, where he started his career, he finally became an All-Star in St. Louis. Playing for the best team in the league hasn't hurt him. It's possible the Cards and Nats will face off in this year's playoffs, and when they do it'll be a reunion of Gators and of what UF does when it does something right. And don't forget former UF pitcher Josh Fogg, who's held his head (and his record) above water despite pitching for the below-middlingPittsburgh Pirates. While none of these men have the explosive star power of an Emmitt Smith or a Udonis Haslem, a baseball superstar may be on the horizon faster than could be expected. Look at the Gators this year. They weren't expected to compete, and they made it to the brink of a national championship. Could Matt LaPorta be the next Albert Pujols? Could Jeff Corsaletti become, well, the next Brad Wilkerson? We don't know either, but you can bet we'll stay tuned. Batter up. allina nkt nor Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR The Aligator encourages comments from readers.

The average miii Webster's dictionary defines superhuman as being above the human; exceeding normal human power, size or capability." After overcoming cancer that spread from his testicles to his abdomen, lungs and brain, Armstrong was given a 50 percent chance to live. He responded by winning the Tour de France a record six times in a row and is currently on his way to lucky number seven. Before he was diagnosed with cancer, Armstrong had never won the event. -The Tour de France is one of the most grueling athletic competitions on the planet. It takes place over the course of three weeks in July with only one or two days devoted to rest for the whole race. The 2005 Tour spans 2,240,miles with cyclists riding more than 100 miles almost every day. The Tour begins with 189 cyclists and often only half of them cross the finish line. Imagine riding a bicycle from New York to Los Angeles in less than a month, and then add in ample climbs of the Alps and Pyrenees mountains for good measure. In 1986, after 83 years of European domination, America's Greg LeMond became the first non-European to win the Tour de France. At the time, this accomplishment was equivalent to America winning the World Cup in soccer. Now, consider Lance Armstrong's domination of the Tour for six straight years, possibly seven. How's that for perspective? Armstrong's physical capability is rivaled by no other huhas between 15-17 percent, whereas elite athletes are in the 6-12 range. Somehow, Armstrong produces less lactic acid and metabolizes it more effectively than most top athletes. It is a physiological phenomenon that scientists have yet to understand. This ability allows him to spin the pedals around 100 times per minute on a mountain climb, a rate that would turn his opponents' quads into Jell-O. Armstrong's 83.8 score on the V02 Max test, used to assess an athlete's aerobic ability by measuring maximum oxygen consumption, is more than double that of a typical, healthy man. His heart, which is a third larger than that of an average male, is so strong that it beats about 32 times per minute at rest, a rate'so low that any doctor who didn't know better would immediately send him to the hospital. Sounds more like a description of the newest comicbook superhero than the attributes of a human being. During Stage 9 of the 2003 Tour de France, Armstrong was forced to off-road down a grassy embankment at 60 mph when a rival went down in front of him. How his 20 mm wide tires didn't explode is beyond comprehension. Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali might have more talent than him, but Lance Armstrong is the greatest American athlete of all time. With less than a week remaining in Armstrong's final Tour de France, Americans should all tune into OLN and see first hand what it means to be superhuman. Aaron Blye is a political science senior.

TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Power of IangL If there are universals for everyone in the human adventure, one of them must be language. Denying the power of language cannot be done with a straight face. Unfortunately, the same can be said of trying to find a comprehensive definition of language that encompasses all its varied uses and messy meanings. We use the word for a lot of things: the language of love, the language of war, computer languages and so on. As omnipresent as it is though, language unfortunately is taken for granted -in education, in policy and in our every day lives. We should not, as the President might say, misunderestimate language's many intricacies. As native speakers of language, our minds quickly and effortlessly combine these forms to express thought. But I encourage you to toss your grammar book out the window and learn about these rules and forms from our linguistics department. age extends beyond phrases and clauses The fum and interesting introduction to Linguistics (LIN3010) presents the study of language through many rigorous, exciting and often interrelated disciplines such as syntax, phonology, morphology, sociolinguistics, writing systems and many more. We draw conclusions from sociolinguistics as to why language in education should be more readily understandable. In Texas, it has been shown that students whose native language is Spanish and don't know English will do better in education if they continue learning both as time goes on. It might have something to do with the ability to compare and contrast the languages, thereby deriving a superior understanding of what makes language work, perhaps expanding our mind to consider different possibilities. People deserve, a chance to learn as fully as everyone else. Coming to America, being born or being raised here isn't enough. If older immigrants don't know English, Christian and they don't use it Waugh in their jobs, and they The Final Frontier don't have the financial cwaugh@alligator.org access to resources to learn the language, and if their friends don't speak English, then how the hell can they be expected to learn it? Children certainly deserve such an opporturinity, which is why we should strive to leave no child behind as opposed to simply catering to the lucky multilinguals. And so, too, does language in our normal lives go unappreciated. Every word can have an effect on the mind. Languages themselves may shape perceptions on a neurobiological basis, if we are to believe some neuroscientists. One unfortunate trend belying crude, unfeeling and unthinking ignorance is to call things of supposed ill repute "gay." English's grammatical structure contains a more pernicious and covert trend: the obfuscation of women. From the generic pronoun "he" to the order of women in phrases like "men and women," women are implicitly put second place all the time by almost all speakers of the language. One linguist at UF says we should say "women and men" until it doesn't matter anymore. I agree. We should be freed by language, not imprisoned by it. Perhaps if people made a conscious effort to change this, their perceptions might change. But language is ever-changing. Its forms shift and dance to the speech communities of the day. Words and grammars are here one day and gone the next. We should not fear the change of language, but welcome it, because language's power comes from diversity. Christian Waugh is afirst-year law student. His columoon appears on Tuesdays. Reduced library hours meet most students' needs Editor: I am writing in response to the letter from graduate assistant Ann Griswold complaining about library hours. Each year, library staff develop a schedule of service hours designed to meet the needs of UF's students, faculty and staff. Traditionally, we offer shorter hours during the summer and greatly reduced hours (including closing on weekends) during intersessions. Library use is significantly lower during these periods. During the intersession between Sunmer and Fall, reduced hours give the libraries time to gear up for the coming semester and the library staff an opportunity to schedule the vacations they have earned. Since we don't have redundant staffing, we would be stretched thinly if several staff needed to be away from the libraries during our peak periods. Carol A. Turner Director for Public Services, George A. Smathers Libraries Sam Proctor-the real 'Gator to know' During the past few weeks, many articles and editorials have been published in newspapers across the state regarding the UF Aluni Association's list of 81 "Gators to Know." There is a man who more than deserves to be there, a true UF alumnus who arguably has done more to advance the history of UF and the state than any other -Samuel Proctor. UF will never be the same without him. The first time I met him, Dr. Proctor spent hours talking about not only the Johns Committee but also other fascinating parts of UF's history. UF was so much a part of his life. How many others can say they have been on campus for almost 70 years? Even though he had been ill for the past two years, when visiting him, he would still recount names and events from the past about professors, campus buildings and alumni. He truly was a Gator standout and a great man every UF alumnus should be proud of.

8, ALLIGATOR O TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 Renovated law 10brary opens 19 THE FACILITY STAYED IN BUTLER PLAZA FOR A YEAR. By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer Ilewis@alligator.org UF's Levin College of Law reopened its library on campus at Holland Hall on-Friday after more than a year of storing its legal resources at Butler Plaza. The newly renovated library has been renamed the Lawton M. Chiles Legal Information Center and boasts an expansion of about 60,000 square feet, said Kathleen Price, associate dean for Library and Technology at the college. "What used to be classrooms are now part of the library," Price said. "We put in new floors and have new classroom towers." In addition to the expansion, Price said the library features cutting-edge technology she hopes will aid law students. "It's a totally wireless campus, and every classroom has all the latest technologies," she said. "Some are energy-savers, like when people are moving in a room, lights will go on, and when the movement stops they'll go off." The facility has been closed since April 2004, when all its resources except reserve and tax materials were moved to a storage facility in Butler Plaza. Despite the inconveniences of an off-campus resource center, Price said students' On reactions were generC4W;ij ally positive. "I think that was what was most surprising to me because I expected students to be angry, and they were wonderful," she said. "Our students are a congenial group, and they've grown accustomed to studying in the woods around picnic tables." Although the library only closed in 2004, plans for its renovation have been in the works for years, Price said. "The project began even before I came here from NYU, so I'd say it started four or five years ago," she said, adding that UF architecture students helped in the initial stages to determine the amount of new space necessary. Now that the center is reopening, Price said she hopes to draw attention to its expansion and technologies during a dedication ceremony scheduled for Sept. 8. "It's a football weekend, so we're planning to have an open house and tours the next day," she said, adding that recently retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day 0' Connor and members of the Florida Supreme Court are slated to make appearances at the event. Although she looks forward to the events surrounding the library's dedication, Price said she's eager for law students to begin utilizing the renovated center's new resources. "We're very excited to provide this space for students," she said. "Just as the university is seeking to become one of the Top 10 public in the nation, so is the law school, and I think this library will jumpstart that." Campus payment still free ISIS, from page 1 pay thousands of dollars in tuition while others only use it to pay parking tickets. "We couldn't come rip with one single rate that would be fair to everybody," he added. However, the fee will not impact credit card transactions on campus, where VISA still is accepted. It also will not apply to debit card transactions. The fee likely will impact students who do not receive financial aid and cannot afford paying tuition with a checking account. Undergraduate Florida residents, who pay $2,955 per year for 30 credits, would be charged $76.83 for making online credit card payments. Out-of-state students would pay $411.50 on their $15,827 annual tuition. .Hoskins said while credit card tuition payments are popular, they represented a minority of the payment methods. "Last time we did an analysis, just about half of the [tuition] fees get paid for by financial aid," Hoskins said He added the majority of the remaining half is paid for by the fee-free methods of cash or check. Transferring funds to UF electronically from a checking account, known as EFT, will remain free and will be processed immediately instead of taking three to four days also starting July 26.

TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 9 Crfe 0t 0011S Craze sweeps UF college By JAYME GOUGH Alligator Contributing Writer UF's College of Health and Human Performance is on the ball -literally. Outreach coordinator Cher Harris, 31, started the craze with her purple exercise ball. Staff and faculty passing by her office would catch Harris sitting on her exercise ball while typing at her computer. Her high-backed office chair sat abandoned in the corner of the room. "I started using it in 1999 when I was getting my master's in Exercise Physiology at the University of Indiana, and the balls were just getting popular," Harris said. "There are so many health benefits that go along with sitting on the ball, and when I explain that to people, they get curious and want to try it themselves." Harris started a trend that spread quickly among the college's faculty. Eleven faculty members so far have traded their office chairs for exercise balls, including the college's interim dean, Jill Varnes. "We spend a lot of time at work," Varnes said. "We need to have some fun, and this a safe way to get some low-impact exercise and burn a couple extra calories while working. You can't roll from your computer Cher Harris, Melissa Wohistein, Interim Dean Jill Varnes, Janice Douglas and Jessica Brennan gather around a table in the College of Health and Human Performance's reading room on Friday. to your printer in the office the way you would in an office chair. It forces you to move around." Sitting on the ball makes you aware of your posture, Harris said. In the beginning, it is difficult because if you slouch you feel very unstable, and if you aren't used to keeping your back straight, your muscles will hurt by the end of the day Harris explained when a person slouches they depend on their lower back muscles to hold up their torso instead of their abdominal muscles. This.causes lower back pain, weak abdominal muscles, cartilage deterioration and permanent spine curvature. As people who slouch age, they eventually are unable to straighten their spines and end up with humps. "I would say posture is the most important part of being fit and healthy because it affects all activities and everything you do in daily life," Harris said. It is especially important for women because of bone density -issues, Harris said. -'7 SW( v Ga5sv2I), 38da 327 (352) 38143100 Women are more susceptible to osteoporosis than men because, during menopause, bone density decreases as women lose calcium, and the bones in the spine break or shrink. Sitting straight could decrease harmful stress on the back that worsens osteoporosis. "Sitting on the ball has made all activities much easier," Harris said. "I don't have any back pain, and my core muscles are strong." DeEtta Hanssen, 34, is a program assistant in the college's Office of Student Affairs. She has sat on the ball for the past two weeks and said she already feels the impact the ball has had on her quadriceps, gluteus muscles and legs. "Students notice and say things like 'nice seat' or 'That's different,' Hanssen said. "It makes a lot of students smile, because you don't realize what you look like when you start bouncing without thinking." Hanssen said as she became acclimated to the ball, boring office tasks weren't as difficult to finish. "I did a lot of data entry into a computer today, but I don't feel the mental fatigue I normally would have begun to feel by now," Hanssen said. Harris suggests beginning ballusers start by sitting on the ball in one-hour intervals. "It sounds ludicrous, but sitting up straight in the beginning is tiring," Harris said. She said K-mart sells the balls for around $13.

18, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 "consdary prepares for more man-to-man coverage N A KEY INTERCEPTION IN THE 2004 GAME AGAINST FSU MAY PROVE A BUILDING BLOCK FOR HERRING. By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Staff Writer eesteban@alligator.org With a crucial game on the line, somebody in the secondary needed to step up. Meads were on a swivel as tomahawk chops churned in unison to the tune of the Marching Chiefs and it seemed as if the Gators were destined for yet another lategame meltdown with Florida State driving into UF territory. But the final game of the regular season brought promising signs for the 2005 campaign. In the closing seconds against FSU, Jarvis Herring's game-clinching interception showed that the safety should be a force in his final season. Now a senior, Herring cemented his spot at the strong safety position throughout the spring after becoming a mainstay on the 2004 secondary. His ability to read the offense and be at the right place at the right time helped him lead the Gators last year with four interceptions. "I'm not a fast guy or a guy who will run you a 4.3," Herring said. "I just don't have that kind of speed. But I'm one that's going to keep hustling to the ball on every play and I'll be the last man standing." While Herring might not be a blazing s p e e d s t e r, junior Dee Webb brings plenty of speed to the secondary. Webb, who competed with the track team in the spring to improve his speed, emerged as the Gators' top cornerback last year after leading UF in pass breakups with 10. UF should be playing a lot more manto-man coverage this year, and that's an opportunity that Webb is already savorino. "Man coverage is my favorite coverage and we didn't run it too much until the end of last season," he said. "I like that a lot because I feel like I can shut down anybody at anytime, so by [Coach Urban Meyer] implementing that, I can be more physical with the receiver." An even bigger surprise for the UF secondary in 2004 turned out to be the rapid on-field maturation of sophomore Kyle Jackson. Jackson started the Gators' final four games last year and looked like a natural at the free safety position; snatching two interceptions in UF's 48-14 win against South Carolina. The biggest question in the secondary is who will lock up the second cornerback spot. Senior Vernell Brown emerged from the spring as the starter, but he will have to hold off up-and-comers like Reggie Lewis, twin brothers Tremaine and Jermaine McCollum and true freshman Avery Atkins. The dark horse in the race could be sophomore safety Reggie Nelson. Nelson has all the GP Tackles TFL/Yds Int/Yds Herring 11 55 4/24 intangibles to be a force in the SEC, but .a transition to cover corner would have to be learned in a small amount of time. At 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, he possesses the ideal frame for a starting corner and is athletic enough to get on the field as the year progresses. Sophomore Tony Joiner and junior Terrence Holmes should also give quality depth in the secondary because of their game experience. Joiner is a close friend with Jackson and the relationship has helped him become even more knowledgeable on the field. "[Kyle] being out there and playing is kind of like a mentor to me, because he played last year and I didn't," Joiner said. "So he sees things I don't see."

TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Donnell Harvey, Kwame Brown, Mike Miller, Christian Drejer -the list of players who have deferred to complete their basketball apprenticeships under UF coach Billy Donovan grows longer. At the helm of a program that lost nearly 40 percent of its scoring after former UF junior guards Anthony Roberson and Matt Walsh opted to go pro last month, Donovan would seem to be the poster boy for raising the NBA age limit. But the coach burned so frequently by early departures offered criticism of the NBA's recently adopted 19-year-old minimum entry age during a teleconference on Monday. As part of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement with the player's union last month, the league raised its minimum age from 18. Starting in 2006, all NBA draft entrants must be at least 19 years old, which effectively eliminates the opportunity of high school prospects skipping college to head straight to the pros. "Personally, I don't like it," Donovan said. "I think it creates more confusion in our game at the college level." Donovan explained that from speaking with NBA scouts, collegiate coaches have a good idea of Matt Marriott/ Alligator staff Several players have left the UF men's basketball program before their third year in college. Coach Billy Donovan suggested using an eligibility rule in basketball similiar to the one used in college baseball. which potential signees are likely to jump straight to the league. Under the old regulation, coaches could maximize their recruiting time by concentrating on prospects not pegged for the pros. Now, with the new age limit forcing future NBA superstars to spend a year out of high school, coaches must face the burden of convincing talented but potential two-, three, and four-year players, to commit to a program as a reserve for an unknown amount of time. "I think it's very difficult in college when you sign a real good player, and you spend an enormous amount of time [recruiting him]," Donovan said, "and then he's only there for a year and leaves." Donovan did acknowledge that players, such as former Syracuse star Carmelo Anthony; have diade significant impacts on their respective teams in only one year. Bul he also noted the difficulty in a program recovering from such a loss. Donovan also pointed out the adjustment period many first-year collegiate players encounter could injure an NBA prospect's stock. "I think it creates unrealistic expectations for a young man," Donovan said. "I don't care if it's high school to college or college to the NBA. Anytime you change levels and the competition changes, there's always a period of adjustment." While the coach admitted he couldn't offer a perfect solution, Donovan pointed to baseball's policy as a preferable example. High school baseball players have the option of jumping to the big leagues immediately. However, once a player has signed with a college, he must remain there for three years. "Selfishly, the best thing for our game would be a situation like baseball," Donovan said. "I think that will make it a little easier for us transition-wise. "But at the same point, it's not fair to a young man that has the option to leave after his freshman or sophomore year and can make a lot of money to maybe change the lifestyle of his family." At 60, Spurrier shouldn't have to deal with South Carolina mess here was a day not so long ago when South Carolina landing on probation equaled a page seven story, buried somewhere between UCF football and the NHL. But when the NCAA announced the discovery of ten violations under Lou Holtz throughout a three-year period, the interest in Gainesville exploded. About five hours northeast of town, Steve Spurrier hides under his USC visor to escape the scorching sun blazing on a ritzy South Carolina golf course. Today the 60-year-old Spurrier, once crowned "Wonderboy" in Gainesville, is old enough to utilize many senior citizen golf discounts. You'd expect a man like Spurrier to retire at 60 and play golf, drive to the beach and drool at girls in bikinis, or do whatever it is retired millionaires do. Instead, you can turn on the TV and find Spurrier wearing a red Gamecocks vest. He looks much more weary these days, worn out with the season still more than a month away. The first summer of Spurrier's seventh decade hasn't been so kind to the ol' ball coach. After watching several of his players run afoul with the law, Spurrier must deal with the violations. No, South Carolina won't be slapped with the most serious penalties. Spurrier and Co. have requested two years of probation and a minor reduction in scholarships. But it's painfully obvious the Gamecocks are far from competing for a SEC title, something USC has never accomplished. Andrew Abramson Drew's Control aabramson@alligator.org Don't feel sorry for Steve, he knew the dung was about hit the fan when he took the job. Still, I don't get it. Steve, buddy, pal, legend, what are you doing in Columbia? You once laid claim to king of college football, your majestic visor more feared than Napoleon's sword. Some say it's Spurrier's enormous ego, desperate to prove that he can single-handedly resurrect a program like he did at Duke and UF (shhh, we'll pretend the NFL coaching gig was a dream or something). Let's get real. If South Carolina wins the SEC East this year or next, I will attend a 1 July 16, 1996 Senior quarterback Eric Kresser transfers to then-Division I-AA Marshall. After starting just once at UF, Kresser took Chad Pennington's job at Marshall, leading the 15-0 Herd to a national title. WNBA and MLS game on the same day. Some will argue that Spurrier found himself in a similar situation when he became UF's head man, but the talent-rich state of Florida seemed to be waiting for the Age of Spurrier. History doesn't repeat itself, not like that. So why, at Spurrier's age, would he want to take over a program that's a long-term investment? Even Pat Riley, also regarded as a fading legend, will only accept a coaching gig likely to result in a shiny championship ring. Spurrier may claim he balked at the UF job because he wanted a new challenge, but do you really believe he would rather coach South Carolina than a familiar UF team loaded with talent.

20, ALLIGATOR 0 TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2005 realized there's a lot of people paying attention to what's going on with football. And generally once Coach Meyer came and seeing the enthusiasm outpour for him, I realized we were in a different place. This is the first of a two-part series of interviews between Alligator sports editor Andrew Abramson and UF President Bernie Machen. Abramson and Machen discussed a wide array of sports issues. AA: Growing up, who were your sports idols and favorite teams? BM: I grew up in St. Louis, so my favorite team was the baseball Cardinals, which is the biggest thing in St. Louis. Stan Musial, Tim McCarver, Bob Gibson-those are the names out of the past that I grew up watching. Baseball was a big sport, there was no pro football. Remember, they're now the Arizona Cardinals, they used to be the St. Louis Cardinals, but when I was growing up they were the Chicago Cardinals. You're going way back now. There was no pro football team in St. Louis when I'was growing up; it came as I graduated high school. So when it came to football, the University of Missouri, Dan Devine-he went on to Notre Dame-was the team that we all watched. AA: Did you play many sports as a child? BM: I played football and I played golf. In junior high I played basketball but at the high school level I only played football and golf. AA: Do you ever get the desire to go out and throw the football around anymore? BM: Not anymore. Not anymore. AA: Do you have an opportunity to golf often? BM: I thought when I moved to Florida that I would golf a lot, but I haven't been able' to get out much. But I golf once a month anyway. AA: When you arrived in Gainesville, were you surprised at the enthusiasm surrounding UF sports? BM: Well, actually, I knew it was one of the top overall programs in the country, I measure that not so much by football, which a lot of schools have, but by the depth of the program -especially women's sports. I was very impressed coming in by the quality of the swimming and diving team, the women's soccer team, the gymnastics team and the volleyball team; Women's basketball had a rough go, but I knew it was a good program. AA: What about just the overall fan support? 60,000 fans showing up to a spring game, that's a lot. BM: I've never seen anything like it. At most places-including Michigan, which is a pretty fair football school-never would spring sports and the spring game have the kind of attraction that it does here. Many schools are doing away with the spring game. Obviously that wouldn't work here given the fan interest in making it happen. But I realized a number of things. First, last fall going through a coaching search with all the help that I received, I AA: How strange is it hiring Urban Meyer twice, and what's so special about him? BM: I remember the last time I saw Coach Meyer before I came to Florida. Utah played Southern Mississippi -in the Liberty Bowl on New Year's Eve day. The next morning I was checking out of the hotel at 7 a.m. and Urban was down at the lobby. We hugged and I said, "go get 'em, Urban." I figured that was it. Then, the idea of us hiring him [at UF] never even got in my head. It was Jeremy Foley who really decided that's the person we wanted. But I knew Urban. I knew his values are what a coach ought to have. He's family first and he takes care of his athletes the way any coach would want his athletes to be taken care of, He also loves the university. He will never do anything to embarrass the university. Most of the people now have become familiar with how he behaves and how important the university is to him. We're lucky to have an Urban Meyer at the University of Florida, any university would be. AA: Are you troubled by the increase in off-thefield incidents in college sports? BM: Yes, I am. I think it was one of Urban's priorities both at Utah and here that in order to be a champion you've got to live right off the field. You've got to perform well in the classroom as well as on the field. It was something I knew would, be a highly important issue for him. I don't know how these universities can look themselves in the mirBermne KBRA MSON, from page 19 UF to find a better coach than him (what? That's blasphemy in the Book of Steve). UF did it right. At 40, Urban Meyer could be Spurrier's son (adopted, of course-they don't exactly appear biologically related). In the last few years, Meyer led an unheralded Utah team to a Fiesta Bowl championship. Spurrier led Redskins owner Daniel Snyder to the insane asylum (or was it the other way around?) Imagine what the 01' Ball Coach could do in Tallahassee. But enough Urban praising and Spurrier bashing, because Recruiting in South Carolina is a daunting task, especially Spurrier could have been a solid No. 2 choice for the UF job. with Clemson in the mix. The high school talent in South Spurrier can flat out coach in the college level, and he deCarolina and Florida isn't even comparable. serves better. And there will be other jobs available.

What went through your head when you saw the Pistons-Pacers brawl back in November? BM: That was a disgrace to athletics. A lot of that had to do with alcohol. You saw the beers that were flying around. I've been to the Palace of Auburn Hills and it's a great facility. But it's a pro atmosphere with lots of alcohol, and the crowd sort of gets worked up over that. I don't think it helped college sports or pro sports at all. AA: Is there something that can be done? Obviously they're not going to ban alcohol at pro sporting events. BM: I think it's had a sobering effect on everyone when they saw just how out of control it was. I'd be surprised if it happened again. I think the NBA has really made it clear where the line is, and you shouldn't cross that line. Maybe that line wasn't as clearly marked before this as it is now. I think it will take care of itself. AA: Switching gears a bit, Steve Spurrier is a legend at UF, but now he's a rival, Is he still a Gator? BM: I think Steve will always be a Gator. He still has a home here in Gainesville and he says he wants to come here to retire. I wish he would have-come here to retire sooner rather than later (laughs). I do think we're going to have some spirited competition now that he's at South Carolina, but at the end of the day Steve Spurrier is and always will be a Gator. AA: Are you looking forward to the game in Columbia? BM: I'm not going. I don't do away games. I think the rivalry will heat up and I think it will be good for college sports. I know Coach Meyer's looking forward to it, and I bet Coach Spurrier is looking forward to it as well.
