Welcome to Gainesville.
If you're coming to college here
for the first time, get ready to ex-
perience the Dickensian best and
worst of times, including the rain.
Seriously though, Gainesville
sits as the foundation of your
academic future. However, there's
more here than textbooks and a
football team.
Of course, there's a lot to be
proud of in our faculty, academic
programs and, most of all, us. The
best crop of students in Florida.
Work hard. Play hard. Or
don't.
It's your choice.
This town caters to folks of all
energy levels. This newspaper, we
hope, will inform you enough to
make comfortable decisions about
what to do and how to live here.
We inform, you decide it's
our motto.

THE LEADERS OF UF
Tim Casey / Alligator Staff
UF President Bernie Machen and Student Body President Joe Goldberg lead more than 50,000
students, staff and faculty members. Goldberg took office in May with a brand-new staff; Machen
has spent part of his 19 months at UF learning his way around the university.
Administration
has new faces
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
Walking back to his office after a
morning photo shoot, UF President
Bernie Machen admits that even he was
a little overwhelmed by the size of the
university he was elected to lead nearly
two years ago.
"This is by far the biggest university
that I've ever been around," Machen
said. "It takes some getting used to."
Machen, the former president of the
University of Utah, recommended new
students pound the pavement with a
map and enough time to figure out their
way around UF.
After having "survived" at UF for 19
months, as he jokingly puts it, Machen
said he has truly begun to understand
the university.
His goal for UF one year from now is
on track, with plans to make the univer-
sity a Top 10 public research institution:
continued academic improvement,
more students graduating on time and
increased faculty and staff support.
To all students, Machen has a mes-
sage: get involved on campus.
"They're obviously talented aca-
demically," Machen said, but added
that it's what students do outside of
class that's important.
With more than 700 organizations on
campus, students have the opportunity
to connect with each other through al-
most any interest or hobby.
Soon, campus sidewalks will swell
with the familiar faces of returning
students and the scurrying bodies of
frenzied freshmen.
In much the same way, UF's admin-
istration embodies a mix of veteran
employees and new leaders.
Since Machen's hiring, six new vice
presidents have been hired in a reorga-
nization of UF's leadership, including
Janie Fouke, UF's new provost and
senior vice president.
"I think, for the most part, a blend
of new and continuing is the ideal situ-
ation," Machen said. "We have some

Student leaders share agendas
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
Student Body President Joe
Goldberg said he is a Gator from
snout to tail.
"UF was the only place that I
applied to," he said. "I knew that
was where I wanted to go."
He said he went to Gator
Growl, UF's Homecoming pep
rally, years before his time as a
college student, when his sister
was attending.
But he didn't come to
Gainesville longing for the chance
to be part of Student Government.
"I really didn't know I wanted
to get involved," he said.
He eats, sleeps and drinks SG
now, he said.
"Being that voice for all the
students ... I don't take that light-
ly," he said. "I get my motivation
from fighting for the students.
That's what I really enjoy every
day is being able to advocate for
them."
He said he's ready to rise to any
occasion that affects the Orange
and Blue.
"SG is going to adapt to what-
ever is the issue at the time," he
said. "We're not always going to
get our way in the end, but at least
they hear our side."
The sports management senior
will pocket an $8,196 salary this
year.
"Obviously, I don't do it for the
money," he said. "We're the lowest-
paid officers in the state."
Goldberg said he fights for
students of all shapes, sizes and
shades.
"I am accepting of all people,"
he said. "I think that diversity is
extremely important."
Goldberg is a member of the
Black Student Union, Hispanic
Student Association, Pride
-Student Union
Student and the Jewish
Government Student Union.
"I love talk-
ing to students," he said. "You
don't have to be black to be a
member of the Black Student
Union. The diversity on our cam-
pus is just tremendous."
Goldberg, a Miami native, said
the key to success in college is learn-
ing how to manage one's interests.
"Think about what you enjoy,"
he said. "The best thing to do is try
to find somebody you can relate to.
Find what your passion is and then
run wild with it."
He said getting involved allows
students to make UF cozy despite
its 1,965-acre size and 48,000-strong
student body.
"I think that it's important to
get involved in something extra-
curricular," he said. "We're always
looking for new students to get
involved in SG."
VP stacks 'em up
Student Body Vice President
Joyce Medina proudly-proclaims her
accomplishments.
She is president of the Mortar
Board Honor Society at UF, among
her memberships in several honors
organizations.
She was the 2003 Hispanic
Student Association public-relations
director, a staff member of Preview
2004 and hails from Gamma Eta
Sorority.
But the half-Cuban, half-Filipino
said the transfer, early in her aca-
demic journey, from UCF to UF was
a touching experience.
"My sister went here," she said.
"UF just had so many other options.
I wanted to challenge myself more. I
was very proud of getting in."
Medina said she has opened
the book on her responsibility to
control the nearly 40 SG cabinets
by putting the cabinet directors'
notebooks in the SG office on the
third floor of the Reitz Union for
all to read.
"I've worked behind the scenes
a lot," she said. "I was always will-
ing to help where SG has been. I feel
I've made cabinet more accessible
and more accountable to (Student)
Senate. I'm [in Gainesville] when
everyone is on vacation."

Editorial
So it's the first day of the rest of your life, eh?
Or not. College strikes people in different ways.
Whether you're a 16-year-old prodigy or an 80-year-
old transfer student who's searching nobly for that
elusive bachelor's degree, or anywhere in between, we
at the Independent Florida Alligator welcome you to
Gainesville.
There's a lot to enjoy about our fair city, but also more
than a few traps for anyone new to the way things work.
As anyone who's caroused downtown for the first time
can tell you, enough 3-for-1 specials and you'll learn the
lessons of college the hard way.
Most of us have learned the hard way, so in an effort to
help you out on this new journey, the Alligator proudly
presents:
Tips & Tricks
It's hard to expect new folks in town to have much im-
pact on their academic life, but here's a big TIP: Don't go
with the flow.
Impress yourself on professors, administrators, any-
one who might have a say in your future here. Always
be polite with the employees in your college. They have a
greater ability to help you along than they might lead you
to believe.
And don't be afraid to speak up if a class appears full or
you don't see credits you should have on your transcript.
Students who are proactive about their education come
out best in the end.
There's a large number of locals here who want nothing
more than to ram some culture down your throat. Our TIP:
Take them up on it once in a while.
Gainesville has world-class museums, theatres and
other outlets of intellectual curiosity. Student Government
organizations bring interesting speakers every week,
along with the occasional large-scale concert.
You already pay for some of this culture as a part of
tuition. So it's worth it for you to take a look.
Speaking of taking a look, here's an important TRICK
for living in Gainesville: Take a ride around town.
If you don't have a car, find someone who does and
make an afternoon of exploring the city.
There's a great deal of variety among different stores
and venues in town and it's always good to shop around.
Especially don't think that campus stores always offer
competitive rates.
Also, it'll get more difficult to spend time searching for
a specific place once the semester starts.
A TIP for those who don't like surprises, especially if
you live off campus: Don't rush into signing or paying for
anything.
Great deals don't always stay great by the time you get
home. And when the apartment complex managers sug-
gest you fill out your move-in form, take the time to do it.
You'll thank yourself at the end of the year, when you're
not hit by charges you could have avoided.
And perhaps the ultimate survival TRICK: Take time to
enjoy yourself.
We have football galore on weekends during the Fall,
and Meyermania will push that to new heights.
Better yet, take a day and go to Orlando ride
some roller coasters and take your mind off school.
One of the greatest advantages to Gainesville is its surpris-
ingly central location for a city in Florida. Don't let that go
to waste.
Follow these basic steps, and we're pretty sure your
adjustment to this college town will go a lot smoother.
You go, Gator.

Bgl- fs ORIE NTATor a
Column
Big-city fast food leads to revelation
since I began college, one of the things I miss the most
about home and like the best about going back is the
great food. Oh yeah, and seeing the people who gave
birth to me, that too.
As college students, we far too often accept the status
quo of quick, cheap and easy.. .food that is. Unfortunately,
more often than not, this doesn't equate with good,
healthy meals.
So when I got off the plane in New York for my grand-
parents' 65th wedding anniversary last week, I was more
than happy to be greeted at my aunt's house by 10 chick-
ens, a giant ham, five different types of rice and a salmon
platter.
My grandparents' big fat Jewish wedding anniversary
could have given the similarly titled movie a run for its
money.
A few days later I continued the food fiesta in New
York City after reacclimatizing myself to the Big Apple.
"Hello, homeless-dude-sleeping-on-the-bench. How's
it going, hipster-20-something-New Yorker. Nice to see
you again, guy-giving-me-the-finger."
Ah yes: I was home, and home equals good food.
Now, good food according to my grandmother usually
means a meal at one of the city's famous eateries, so when
we approached what appeared to be a fast-food restau-
rant, I was surprised to say the least.
However, I would soon discover that Better Burger was
no measly fast-food joint and that its burgers were indeed
better than "the big boys."
My burger consisted of 1/3 lb antibiotic-and-hormone-
free organic beef cooked to my liking on an all-natural ses-
ame-seed wheat bun with organic white cheddar cheese,
lettuce and tomato.
The combo meal included my choice of bottled water
Aaron Blye instead of soda and a side of organic
Blye's Eyes Better Fries spritzed with olive oil
ablye@alligator.org and air-baked, not fried.
I've always been skeptical of
meals out of a tree-hugging hippie
cookbook, but it was probably the best-tasting fast food
I've ever had, and it was only about $2 more than a com-
parable meal at McDonald's.
Unfortunately, I couldn't convince the owner to expand
outside of NYC and set up shop in Gainesville, but I did
come to an important realization.
Although Better Burger hasn't made it to Gainesville
yet, college students have an alternate means to eat quick,
cheap and healthy.
Looking around campus I think we can all agree the
University of Florida has one of the best student bodies in
the nation -but roughly 60 percent of Americans are either
overweight or obese, and there isn't a college student in
America who hasn't heard of the freshman 15.
I know you might think your cooking skills are limited
to grilling chicken on the George Foreman grill, but cook-
ing is as easy as following directions and it's cheap.
If you can color inside the lines, you can make chicken
parmigiana, with a little bit of practice.
And if you're eating cheap pizza topped with sausage
that physically resembles hamster poop or a sandwich,
possibly served somewhere on campus, that consists of
reflective roast beef or gelatinous turkey meat, then you
might want to take those items off your personal menu.
Instead of spending your hard-earned dollars on
unhealthy junk food, take to the kitchen or check out
some of the great local- restaurants scattered throughout
Gainesville.

UF has many opportunities
WT A Telcome to UF!
WIt is my sincere privilege, as
your Student Body President,
to extend my personal welcome to you.
Your choice to attend UF reflects your
capacity for academic success and your
interest in a college experience that is
both challenging and exciting.
As a Gator, you are undoubtedly
aware of the tremendous opportunities
available to students here at UF.
The school's resounding national
prestige is in large part a result of our
students' refusal to accept the status quo.
Whether it is in the classroom, on the field
or in a laboratory, our students set the bar
for performance in all walks of life.
My position at UF affords me the op-
portunity to oversee one of the largest
and most involved Student Governments
in the nation. With a budget surpassing
$11 million, our school is dedicated to in-
vesting in the very people that make our
success as an institution possible: you.
But beyond Student Government,
nearly 800 student-run organizations
exist. In the rare instance you cannot
find a club for your particular interest,.
we encourage students to form their own
organizations.
Joe Goldberg UF's students
Speaking Out and faculty
make it a point
to provide every
potential opportunity for involvement,
leadership, service and education to our
students.
No matter how much time you will
spend at the university, I encourage you
to capitalize on the multitude of resourc-
es.available to you.
Finding your niche through involve-
ment at UF and in the Gainesville com-
munity comprises the essence of your
college experience. Find a way to make
your time here unique and to leave your
mark on this 152-year-old campus.
Through it all you will make unfor-
gettable memories and gain friendships
that will last a lifetime. Making it into UF
speaks volumes to what you already are
capable of. Take it one step further.
Recognize your own potential and
prepare yourself for success while at UF
and beyond. Please feel free to contact
me directly if you have any questions at
president@sg.ufl.edu.
Go Gators!
Joe Goldberg is Student Body President
through next Spring.

UF campus legends have developed over a century
By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Contributing Writer
With almost 100 years of history, UF's
campus combines diverse and sometimes
avant-garde architecture with distinctive
art and wild stories.
One of the more recognizable but
lesser-known structures on campus is
Alachua, or, as it is more widely called,
the "French Fries." The yellow-painted
aluminum sculpture of self-supporting
rectangular tubes stands just west of the
Marston Science Library.
UF College of Fine Arts spokeswoman
Sarah McNeill said she thought the struc-
ture got its nickname soon after it was
built in 1988 by sculptor John Henry as
a commission by the Florida Board of
Regents, the longtime governing body of
the state university system.
Century Tower was built in 1953 to com-
memorate the 100th anniversary of the
university and was dedicated to UF stu-
dents killed in World War I and II.
Its architecture landed a portion of campus'
north side on the National Register of Historic
Places. Professor Susan Tate with the College
of Design, Construction and Planning said it
was "unusual" to have a part of a major public
university listed on the register.
The "collegiate gothic" style of red
bricks and vaulted entrances was used
with the first buildings, the
On now-residential Buckman
CampUS and Thomas halls, and other
earlier buildings, she said.
Newer buildings present, if not always
the form, then new interpretations of that
original style.
Contrary to what some may say, how-
ever, Tate said it is not likely the interlock-
ing Thomas, Fletcher and Sledd halls in
the historic district were meant to form a
UF pattern.
As with any proper place of history,
UF's campus also has its share of leg-
ends, including the ghost of Old Steve
the cook.
When radiators inside Thomas Hall rat-
tled, students attributed it to the ghost of
the cook who worked there when Thomas
and Buckman housed all university fa-
cilities, even the cafeteria, University
Archivist Carl Van Ness said.
Freshmen should also be thankful that
certain "hazing" rituals have fallen by the
wayside.
When the newest underclassmen came
to UF in the days before coeducation,
they were told by their elders to speak to
everyone, walk around the Plaza of the
Americas rather than through it and wear
beanies until the end of the Fall semester
unless they performed certain rituals, Van
Ness said.
One ritual included defeating the
sophomores at a game of capture the flag.
Years later, a way to lose the beanie was
if UF beat Georgia at the Florida-Georgia
football game.
Relatedly, as noted in the alumni asso-
Anai Apicella, Alligator
The sculpture Alachua outside the Marston Science Library, commissioned by the Flor-
ida Board of Regents and built by John Henry in 1988, is better known as the "French
Fries" among students who walk past the imposing structures.
ciation magazine UF Today, Gatorade was
invented at UF in 1965 because football
players could not practice sufficiently in
the Florida heat.
East of Turlington Plaza stands Century
Tower, built to commemorate the UF alumni
who took part in both World Wars, dedicated
on the 100th anniversary of the founding of
the college that became UF, Tate said.
Graduate instructor Danielle Dirks said
she remembers a story about the tower
when she first came as an undergraduate
to UF. Supposedly, a brick would fall from
the tower for every virgin who graduated
from UF.
But the Spring 2002 edition of Orange
and Blue Online carries another, more
chilling story about rumors of at least one
suicide off one of the two Beaty Towers,
the twin apartment-style residences on the
south side of campus.
Tom Petty allegedly wrote the song
"American Girl" because of this suicide,
but he has not confirmed it, according to
the article.
Catrice Ackerman, a desk assistant at
the residence hall, said most of the win-
dows of the towers cannot be opened,
though she had heard a story involving
a girl who committed suicide because she
received a bad grade.
Students can take this piece of advice
from the 1932-33 version of the "F Book,"
an old university student handbook: "You
can get a lot of fun out of being a freshman
if you but will."

or story to share? Send us an e-mail to
letters@alligator.org and we'll investigate it
in the coming semester.

Student activities at UF go beyond
meetings to pirates, weapons, portfo-
lios, culture and service in more than
500 ways.
Take the Florida Picaroons, a social
and service club formed at UF this
year. Officers go by nautical titles such
as admiral and commodore, according
-to the club's Web site.
Club President Carlo Petrillo
said he hopes the group eventu-
ally launches a bottle-boat regatta,
in which teams would compete by
building boats out of milk jugs. Any
funds the group raises would go to
ocean-preservation organizations, and
the club plans to take part in road and
other nature clean-ups.
Florida Fencing has about 40 mem-
bers, though it can swell to more than
100 at each year's first meeting, last
year's president Kelly Crandall said.
Students can compete or just practice
as a recreational member.
As students become more involved,
they are encouraged to purchase their
own equipment, which costs about
$200 for a basic set, Crandall said, as
sports clubs can't charge participants
dues.
The team does have
Student limited equipment for
Lifle them to use, she said,
adding that the club of-
fers social, leadership and travel op-
portunities.
Fencers can practice as much or as
little as they want; attendance is taken
only at the veteran level, Crandall
said. Last year about four weekly
practices were held.
The Student Investment Club is
geared to student personal-finance
issues classes may not address, said

GREEK LIFE
Rush weeks about to start
Join the clubs
By KYLIE CRAIG

kcraig@alligator.org
The first memories of UF for nearly 2,000
incoming freshmen this year will be Greek
Recruitment Week.
Panhellenic Council will recruit this week
starting Tuesday for its 16 sororities, followed
by Interfraternity Council recruitment for its 23
fraternities during the week of Aug. 28.
While PC and IFC are the only two out of the
four Greek councils on campus hosting official
recruitment events during the Fall semester,
both take different approaches to the process.
IFC officials refer to their recruitment as
"very informal in nature." Students looking
to join can fill out the application on the IFC
Web site and attend a Rush Forum on Aug.
28 at 6 p.m. in the Reitz Union Ballroom B.
Recruitment begins the same night.
PC will hold its mandatory orientation Aug.
16 at 5 p.m., with recruitment starting the next
day at 9 a.m.
IFC Vice President of Membership Chris
Bucciarelli said students should come in with
an open mind, visit a variety of chapters and be
sure to ask questions.

that it gives you an opportunity to see and

Bucciarelli said.
Once recruitment week begins students can
choose which houses they would like to visit.
"You have the option of going to every
house, going to one house, going for two hours
or 10 minutes," Bucciarelli said.

New students get stiffed
* OUT-OF-STATE TUITION IS ESPE-
CIALLY AFFECTED.
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
Being new to UF will be slightly more
expensive in the Fall due to tuition criteria
changes based on a student's status as "new"
or "continuing" that now help determine how
much he or she pays.
Students already pay different tuition rates
as undergraduates and graduates as well as
Florida residents versus out-of-state students,
but their time or lack thereof spent at UF
now too will factor into the equation.
"This is a first time ever," said Stuart
Hoskins, senior associate controller at UF.
He said officials at the Office of the
University Registrar and the Office of the
Provost largely-were behind the changes.
A memo released July 15 listed new students
as either undergraduates starting in Fall, gradu-
ate students seeking new degrees, non-military
students re-enrolling after more than two semes-
ters and non-degree seeking students.
Continuing students must have been ad-
mitted before Fall 2005 and enrolled in either
Spring or Summer 2005.
Hoskins estimated UF received about $197
million in tuition from its 48,000 students for
the fiscal year ending June 30, meaning the av-
erage student pays about $4,100 per year.
The biggest increases in tuition occurred in
graduate professional programs such as medi-
cal, dental and veterinary medicine, where new
students will pay hundreds of dollars more
than continuing students.
Out-of-state tuition for dental students will
cost an estimated $43,000, about $9,000 more
than last year.
Student Medical and veterinary medi-
Life cine tuition will see increases in
the thousands of dollars.
Both new and continuing Florida residents
will pay $103.12 per undergraduate credit hour
- a 4.7-percent increase from last year.
However, rrew non-residents will pay more
than $574 per undergraduate credit hour,
which is about $20 more than their continuing
counterparts and almost $50 more than the
same students paid last year.
Florida residents entering graduate school
at UF will pay $259.75 or about 8 percent more
than those already enrolled, who will pay
$239.59 per credit hour.
New and continuing out-of-state graduate
students both will pay about $890 per credit.
Halls sport new looks
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
Murphree Hall will open its doors
to residents once again this Fall after
enduring $10 million in renovations.
The residence hall, which has been
partially closed for more than a year,
has new furniture, new paint, updated
equipment and a virtual necessity in
Florida: air-conditioning.
Second-year engineering student
Melissa Ackert said the renovations
helped persuade her and her room-
mate to leave Broward Hall and its
air-conditioning window units for
Murphree.
"We heard they got central A/C put
in, and that was a big factor," she said.
The project was the largest, but by
no means the only remodeling that
took place under the UF Department
of Housing & Residence Education in
preparation for the new school year.
"We've done thousands of renova-
tions," said Sharon Blansett, assistant
director of housing.
Reid Hall received new windows
and sprinklers and will offer practice
rooms for artists from the College of
Fine Arts.
S North Hall also
received sprinklers
4 and bathroom reno-
vations, and land-
scaping at the Tolbert
Area is expected to
increase wireless
Dunkel Internet access.
UF housing director Blansett also an-
nounced an upgrade
in residence hall cable television to
about 70 channels of digital TV.
The housing department's partner-
ship with Cox Communications- also
will allow students to order services
like Pay-Per-View for themselves with-
out charging their roommates.

UF podcasting takes off
* THE UNIVERSITY NOW OFFERS
MP3 FILES OF CAMPUS NEWS.
By GRACE SINCLAIR
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF students and faculty are now lis-
tening to more than music on their MP3
players.
Podcasting, a form of downloading
audio files onto an MP3 player, has come
to UF and garnered a successful response
from the public.
UF's news Web site, http://news.ufl.edu,
offers audio files for download that feature
news stories and speeches.
Joe Hice, associate vice president of
marketing and public relations, said the
success of podcasting at UF has exceeded
expectations.
In its first week, more than a thousand
people downloaded audio files onto their
MP3 players from UF.
"We are very excited it started off so
strong," he said. "It is a good sign of things
to come."
Professors' lectures could be podcasted
for students who miss a class, said Steve'
Orlando, associate director of news and
public affairs at UF.
The future of podcasting also could
include sporting events and concerts, he
said.
Orlando said he has received positive
feedback from podcast users and has had
no complaints of technical problems.
"Walking around on campus, I
have a lot of time. I think it (pod-
casting) would be really conve-
nient."
Kristine Festa
UF psychology junior
The most popular download was a
speech by former Sen. Bob Graham, he
said. Several hundred people downloaded
this speech alone.
Kristine Festa, a junior psychology ma-
jor, said she plans to download the speech-
es she can not attend.
"Walking around on campus, I have a
lot of time," she said. "I think it would be
really convenient."

There's lots to do and explore right here at UF
By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org
Who needs downtown
Gainesville, with its watered-down
liquor and too-loud music? There's
enough, clean fun on campus to
make forgoing hedonism tempting.
For starters, there is that house
full of 100,000 bats.
It turns out bats just live in caves
because they can't afford real estate.
Constructed in 1991, the St. Lucie
Bat House at UF accommodates
bats displaced from the former dark
alcoves of the track and tennis stadi-
ums: It is located on the west side of

campus on Museum Road, across
from Lake Alice.
Wait until sundown and the bats
swarm outdoors to eat bugs that
would otherwise eat the denizens of
UF's campus.
History junior Megan Watts said
she's been to the bat house several
times.

Sheila Jones and her 4-year-old daughter, Chelsea, look at an identification guide at the Florida Museum

"People go and they're like,

pretty 'like whoa.'"'
Across the street are trails that
wind through the wooded wilder-
ness around Lake Alice, one of sev-
eral such areas throughout campus.
Graduate research assistant Joanna
Reilly-Brown attributed this to
Gainesville's oasis-like location.
"It's a big city in the middle of
the country," said Reilly-Brown, a
lifelong Gainesville resident.
Heading west from the bat
house yields some prettier wing-
flappers at the Florida Museum
of Natural History. The museum's
Butterfly Rainforest houses approx-
imately 2,000 butterflies of about 60
species.
Admission to the museum' is

Butterfly Rainforest charges stu-
dents $6.50.
Thursday nights are Museum
Nights for card-carrying UF stu-
dents. The museum is open late,
and there is often live music and free
food catered by a local restaurant.
The Butterfly Rainforest is usu-
ally excluded from Museum Nights,
but visitors can explore many strata
of time and wildlife in the rest of
the museum, including a navigable
Florida cave with dripping rock
formations.
Another popular "night" on
campus is Friday night at the Reitz
Union. The Gator Nights event in-
cludes extreme bowling, free movies
and food, as well as always-chang-
ing live entertainment.

Student Activities Center in Reitz Un
ion features complete club listings
CLUBS, from page 10
Anthony Dispenziere, past president of the
club and current board member.
The club instructs more than 100 students
on how to invest in stocks, bonds and mutual
funds, and offers advice regarding all matters
of investing, he said.
The group also makes connections with lo-
cal business leaders, and Dispenziere said his
group hopes to bring in speakers from major
companies.
A current endeavor of the club is the
Investment Challenge, a year of weekly meet-
ings where members present investment strat-
egies, he said. Students are allocated $100,000
in virtual money and "invest" it.
The most lucrative investors win prizes,
such as a real $100 gift certificate, but only
members who make at least half of club meet-
ings are eligible.
Dues are $10 per semester because
Student Government doesn't fund the club,
Dispenziere said.
Some of the larger groups on campus are
the Jewish Student Union, the Black Student
Union, the Asian American Student Union
and Recurso.
The Jewish Student Union serves the UF
campus and its approximately 7,000 Jewish
students as primarily a social club, said Bennie
Cohen, program director at Hillel, UF's Jewish
student center. It offers an Israeli Dancing
group and Gators for Israel, which educates
students about Israeli issues.
The Asian American Student Union's ap-
proximately 300 members host cultural events
"for everyone to be aware of Asian American
experiences in the [United States]," club
President Sandy Chiu said.
It hosts Asian American Kaleidoscope
Month in November and will have an assem-
bly with mostly dance performances Sept. 1,
she said.
Recurso's listserv boasts approximately 500
students who can take part in community-ser-
vice activities such as assisting children with
AIDS, cancer or malnutrition in developing
countries, club President Emily Friend said.
Recurso has sent medical and school sup-
plies, blankets, money and other aid to devel-
oping countries, she said.
- The Black Student Union believes all UF
students are members and that it is the voice
of black UF students, a recent brochure stated.
It has a dance troupe, Shades of Unity, and or-
ganizes Black History Month activities and the
Mr. and Ms. BSU pageant.

Gainesville leaders
seek student input
By ALEJANDRA CANCINO
Alligator Contributing Writer
.Some see them as their best
friends; others don't know about
them or simply don't care.
But the decisions of Gainesville's
seven commissioners affect every-
one in this city.
Among other things, they are
in charge of setting the tax rate on
properties that determines rent,
passing the city's fiscal budget for
everything from roads to festivals
and approving ordinances and reso-
lutions, like the 1999 anti-rave law
that set the closing time for bars and
clubs at 2 a.m.
Of the seven commissioners,
four are elected by their respec-
tive districts into which the city
is divided. As the population of
Gainesville boomed, two at-large
commissioners elected by the entire
city were appointed. The mayor is
the commission's seventh member.
The four commissioners by
district are Chuck Chestnut (1), Ed
Braddy (2), Jack Donovan (3) and
Craig Lowe (4). The two commis-
sioners elected at-large are Warren
Nielsen and Rick Bryant.
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan ran for
her post in 2004 after serving as a
city commissioner for six years.
Since her election, Hanrahan has
been working toward maintaining
and improving the quality of life in
Gainesville by creating beautifica-
tion, recreation and redevelopment
programs to make the city more
attractive for students, professors
and visitors, programs she plans to
continue, she said.
She is also an .id \:caef ineifc reas-
ing the communication between the
cit, mid UF students, and has set
as a goal for the next school year
to "help ensure that young people
are safe and responsible in the use
of alcohol."
Like Hanrahan, n,;-t >:it,' com-
missioners believe in making
Gainesville a* more prosperous
city in all its sectors, but they have
unique visions as to how to achieve
those goals.
Chestnut is working to improve
low-income housing, targeting
his efforts of
Gainesville City bringing eco-
COmmisSion nomic devel-
opment to the
east side of the city, an issue that has
been at the top of his agenda since
he was elected in 2000.
Donovan, the newest commis-
Ssioner after defeating incumbent
Tony Domenech in an April runoff
election, said he believes that initia-
tives to discourage binge drinking
are necessary and advocates unifica-
tion within the city.
Lowe's focus is on the environ-
ment, minority rights and redevel-
opment programs and he said he
wants his incumbents to be more
aware of the local government.
Nielsen, a Vietnam veteran and
a recipient of two Bronze Stars in
1971, has had beautification plans,
environmental protection, the econ-
omy and social equity on his agenda
since he was elected in 2000.
Bryant also is seeking equity,
working to close the development
gap between east and west
Gainesville.

COUNTY COMMISSION
Holding a bigger plate
County scope
larger than UF
By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
llewis@alligator.org
Although relatively few UF
students are involved in the local
politics of Gainesville and the rest
of Alachua County, the Alachua
County Commission is constantly
working toward its goals to cre-
ate a better living environment
for both students and permanent
residents.
"[The commission] should be
able to accurately facilitate the
university's objectives and stan-
dards," County Commissioner Lee
Pinkoson said in a past Alligator-
report. "We need. to remember that
[students] are an instrumental part
of Alachua County."
In addition to Gainesville,
Alachua County also encom-
passes neighboring towns such as
Newberry, Archer, Micanopy and
Waldo.
All areas are represented in the
commission, whose members each
hail from one of the county's five
districts and meet- in the- County
Administration Building in down-
town Gainesville.
The five county commissioners
by district are Mike Byerly (1), Lee
Pinkoson (2), Paula DeLaney (3),
Cynthia Moore Chestnut (4) and
Rodney Long (5).
Although all five commissioners
identify themselves as Democrats,
their backgrounds and advocacy
issues vary.
Long is a devoted advocate of
homeless issues, recently spending
two days living on the streets of
Gainesville to gain a firsthand view
of life as a homeless person.
"People making decisions don't
understand the problem because
they're making decisions based on
misinformation, fear and politics,"
Long said of .the insight he gleaned
in a Spring Alligator report.
He is the first black to serve
on both the city and county com-
missions and owns a bail bonds
agency.
Byerly, a graduate of Buchholz
High School in Gainesville, is an-
other proponent of increasing the
commission's involvement in local
student affairs.
"The university does so much
for the surrounding community,"
he has said. "Cooperation is really
key."

Bring on the grub: Many options for hungry students
By STEPHANIE GARRY
.Alligator Staff Writer
*smgarry@alligator.org
With more than 25 places to eat on cam-
pus, it's no mystery as to where that fabled
freshman 15 comes from.
First-time Gators, with the newfound
freedom of declining balance in hand, find
themselves in a fast-food heaven to trump
even the best-endowed interstate exit.
The only hitch is that you have to use
cash or declining balance on your Gator 1
Card and there are no free refills.
In the Reitz Union, you'll find Wendy's,
Taco Bell, Subway and hordes of people dur-
ing lunch hour. There's also home cooking at
Home Zone, Italian at Capeesh, ice cream,
coffee and a Pan-Asian noodle and sushi bar.
The student union is not only the most
popular on-campus eatery, but also has
the best hours. Wendy's and Subway are
almost always open when you need them.
If you prefer to "eat mor chikin," walk
across the Reitz Union lawn to the Hub,
the old bookstore that's awaiting a make-
over to become a technology lab. There
you'll find Chick-fil-A, $4 smoothies from
Zia Juice and Einstein Bros. Bagels.
The small eating area in the Hub turns
into a feeding frenzy around lunch, so
if your appetite's better when the line's
short and the volume's lower, check out
the Racquet Club on Fletcher Drive. Here
you'll find a mini Burger King, coffee, a
Boar's Head deli, sushi, salad and deli-
cious cheesesteak sandwiches.
This is also home to the Gator Dining
Services office, where students can manage
their declining balance or meal plan ac-
counts.
Fast food chains aren't the only popular
option for freshmen. Many newcomers, es-
pecially those living close to the two dining
centers near Broward Hall and the Tolbert
Area, buy meal plans for their first year.
The unlimited plan offers a 54-percent
discount on the normal price of eating at
a dining center, but that's only if you eat
four meals a day, according to a Gator
Dining brochure.
The plans are not right for everyone,
fitting big eaters best, and students should
consider taking advantage of the 10-day
grace period beginning Aug. 16 to see
if their meal plans work for
Student them.
Life Some students regret their
meal plan choice because they
find they don't use all of their weekly meals
and end up paying for food they didn't want
or didn't eat.
Lydia Brooks, a fifth-year political sci-
ence major, advised freshmen to opt for
declining balance instead of the meal plan.
She would have had to eat at least 10 or
14 meals a week to get her most out of the
$1,200 or $1,400 those plans cost, she wrote
in an e-mail.
"I just didn't want to eat that much
food, that often," Brooks wrote. "Do you
know how many Subway sandwiches or
Java City cappuccinos I could have got-
ten for that? I was furious when I realized
what a waste of money it was."
Twelve hundred dollars would buy
roughly 300 6-inch subs or 400 cappuc-
cinos.

Subway employee Courtney Hill prepares a sandwich in the Reitz Union Food Court
on Wednesday. During the Fall and Spring semesters, Subway constantly has a line of
customers extending outside the cafeteria.
If the traditional option of paying $6
a meal for all-you-can-eat buffets or fried
chicken doesn't fit your fancy, the UF
campus almost always has a solution for
the stingy or resourceful student. Veteran
campus-goers pack their lunches and en-
joy UF's green spaces or bring leftovers
from home and heat them up in the micro-
wave nestled between snack machines on
Turlington Plaza.
Starving students should keep an eye
out for free lunch on Turlington Plaza or
the Reitz Union Colonnade, where student
organizations or promoters hand out free
pizza sometimes once a week.

Parking problems grow during busy Fall semester
* UF HAS 24,000 SPACES TO SERVE
ALMOST 70,000 DAILY VISITORS.
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
There just isn't enough Swamp for every
Gator to claim territory at the same time.
Approximately 48,000 students and 11,000
faculty members at UF must share 24,000 park-
ing spaces in 13 garages. And the number of
slots is not likely to rise for the next three years.
Assistant Vice President for Administration
and Finance Bob Miller said that while UF's
master plan calls for new parking garages,
UF's Transportation and Parking division will
not be able to afford them until 2007-08.
"We are not in any stage where we're get-
ting ready to build one," he said. "We don't get
any state money for parking."
Miller said on any given day during the Fall
and Spring, there are between 65,000-70,000
students, faculty, staff and guests on campus,
including special events and Shands at UF.
"Amazingly enough there is always stu-
dent parking places," he said. "They might
not be where students would want them to be.
Students don't come to campus every day, and
when they do come, they don't leave their car
here all day."
Students must purchase a decal to park
legally on campus. In October 2003,3,558 Red
3 decals, which are for on-campus students
who have fewer than 50 credits, were sold for
3,101 All Red or All Decal spaces, according to
parking services.
In the same period, Red 1 decals, which are
available to students living on campus who
have completed at least 60 credit hours, were
oversold by 106 percent. For 800 Red-desig-
nated spaces, 1,653 decals were in effect.
Commuter decals,. which are sold to off-
campus students with 110 credits, fared worse
at an oversell rate of 125 percent.
"If you want a decal, we'll sell you a decal,"
Miller said.
Student decals cost $98 annually or $49
per semester, except for medical students and.
motorcyclists.
Miller said freshmen living off campus
may be more likely to break the guidelines.
"If they give themselves enough time, it's
not inevitable that a freshman gets a parking
ticket," he said. "A number do
Student because they don't plot out their
ITfe route. With proper planning, they
can avoid any tickets."
Parking citations are typically $20 and go
into a Student Traffic Court fund, which aids
in constructing more sidewalks, lighting and
other necessities around campus.
Miller said.students need to recognize that
Fall is more congested than Summer.
"The first few weeks are hectic for fresh-
men," he said. "You need to be prepared to
leave earlier and to schedule yourself a little
extra time. You might add 30-40 percent on
that time in the beginning of Fall because it's
going to be a lot busier."
Miller said despite the traffic, there is a solu-
tion Gainesville's Regional Transit System.
"I think that if you live off campus, there's
a bus stop close by and an RTS service that is
going to get you to campus," he said.
Gainesville's mass-transit- system is the
fourth largest city transportation network
in Florida. The extensive campus service is
funded by the Transportation Fee, which is
included in tuition. Students may ride RTS
buses throughout Gainesville for "free" by
presenting their Gator 1.
Student Body President Joe Goldberg lived
in Rawlings Hall when he was a freshman in.
Fall 2002, and during that time he said it was
difficult to park his car on campus.
"When I moved off campus, I started using
the bus more and more," he said.
SBut he added, "I don't think anyone will
ever'be satisfied with the system. Parking is
always going to be an issue here."

UF services moving online
Most dorms 40+ years old
By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
Ilewis@alligator.org
Like many other Florida high
school seniors, Jorie Scholnik often
felt pressured by college stress and
was anxious to receive her admis-
sion decisions from several schools.
Instead of waiting by her mail-
box for a response, UF's efforts to
expand the use of Internet technol-
ogy meant Jorie was able to learn of
her Summer B acceptance online.
"I found out probably about a
month before the certificate was
mailed to me, and it was definitely
relieving," she said. "It's nice to
know you have a place to go for
next year."
In recent years UF has been
working to increase usage of online
technology in several departments,
including Admissions, Housing,
Transportation and Parking
Services, and the University
Registrar's Office.
Scholnik, who is now a sopho-
more at UF, said she also has used
Internet technology to avoid long
lines of students to obtain parking
decals at the Reitz Union.
"E-mail obviously saved a
ton of postage costs and
staff time."
Sharon Blansett
Assistant housing director
"I ordered my decal early on-
line, just so it's one less thing you
have to waste time on," she said.
"It was really helpful, because I
didn't have to wait with everyone
else and could just go ahead and
buy my textbooks instead."
There are no additional fees
attached to placing Internet decal
purchases, and students who order
online may pick up their decals
between Aug. 17 and Aug. 26 at the
UF Bookstore.
In addition to ordering parking
decals and receiving admission
decisions via the Internet, students
living in residence halls can place
online service requests through the
Housing Automated Work-request
Kiosk.
This year, in another stride to
increase Internet usage, the hous-
ing department began notifying
residence hall students of their
roommate assignments via e-mail.
"We have 7,552 students in
residence halls, so e-mail obviously
saved a ton of postage costs and
staff time," Assistant Director, of
Housing Sharon Blansett said. -
By next year Blansett said her
department hopes it can send out
residence hall agreements, the
equivalent of off-campus lease con-
tracts, by e-mail as well.
"We've got our fingers crossed,
but it looks good," she said.
As technology usage expands,
so does the importance of offering
Internet-based resources.
For example, the Integrated
Student Information System is
utilized by all UF students to pay
fees, register for classes and view
academic transcripts, among other
tasks.
HOUSING, from page 11
To prevent public access to
residence halls, swipe cards
given to residents must be used
to enter the building.as well as
the floor where residents live.
"Just to get to my room, I
had to go through three locks,"
Ackert said.
Weather damage also is on
the minds of housing staff fol-
lowing heavy winds and rain
sustained in 2004 from Tropical
Storms Frances and Jeanne.
Despite minor water dam-
age in Beaty Towers and
reports of mold in Jennings
Hall, no one was injured in the
residence halls and power was
not lost during the storms.
Ackert, who lived in
Broward Hall during the
storms, said she felt very safe.
"Everyone else lost power,"
she said, adding that of all her
friends, only those living on
campus had electricity.
Of UF's 24 residence halls
for single students, Thomas
Hall is the oldest still in use,
having opened in 1906.
The majority of UF's
residence halls opened in the
'50s and '60s, and the Honors
Residential College at Hume
Hall, containing classrooms as
well as bedrooms,
On opened Fall 2002.
Campus Varying floor
plans among
buildings as well as the num-
ber of occupants per room
dictate rental rates.
The average single room
cost is about $1,900 per se-
mester, including furniture,
utilities, Internet access and
general maintenance and cus-
todial services.
The price drops to about
$1,750 per person with two
students sharing a room.

Prices differ greatly between sources of textbooks
UF first university in
Florida to offer MP3s
PODCASTING, from page 13
Festa said she uses her MP3 player about three times
a week but will use it more now that she is downloading
audio files from UF.
Festa hopes the podcasting trend will spread to other
areas of UF.
"I think it would be great to see it in the classrooms,"
she said.
Orlando said UF is the first state university in Florida
to offer podcasting.
In the Fall, the weekly updates also will be posted
as audio files, he said. The audio files can be accessed
for free by anyone with a computer and MP3 player, he
said.
Orlando said UF chose the new form of communica-
tion because it was inexpensive, quick and easy.
"It is a good and growing way to reach a lot of peo-
ple," he said.
TEXTBOOKS, from pige 13
semester. Ordering information
is available at tutoringzone.com/
tzlibrary.asp.
Tutoring Zone Library Director
Jessica Diehl said the service deliv-
ers the next day and can provide
almost any book a student requests.
"It's just a way to get away from
the whole racket of buying a book
for 150 bucks and selling it back for
20," Diehl said.
Diehl said Tutoring Zone rarely
re-loans the same book, so it typi-
cally breaks even.
"Mostly it's not for profit," she
said, "It's just goodwill because
the textbook industry is screwing
people over."
The disparity of book prices
shows in the difference be-
tween a new "Calculus: Early
Transcendentals" textbook, which
costs $150.75 at the UF Bookstore,
$144.75 at the Florida Book Store,
$145 at Gator Textbooks and
$129.35 at T.I.S. College Bookstore.
Amazon.com sells the book for $80
in "like new" condition and claims
to ship in one to two business days.
Stober recommended buying the
international editions of textbooks,
which are illegal to sell in bookstores
but can be found online at sites like
Amazon.com and eBay's Half.com.
He said these editions cost half as
much as the standard copies.
Resources like these are especial-
ly helpful to hard-science majors,
who typically spend hundreds of
dollars per semester. Some liberal
arts majors, on the other hand, can
get by with less than $100.
Matt Chamoff, a public relations
and English junior, said he spent be-
tween $60 and $70 on novels for his
English classes last Spring.
"It's better because even if you
buy 10 books for the class, usually
they're only six, seven bucks each,"
Chamoff said.
He said he prefers physical book-
stores to online services because
they are accessible for quick pur-
chases and refunds.
"If you buy [the books] on
Monday, drop the class on Tuesday,
what are you going to do. with
them?" Chamoff said.
But students of various majors
say even the more costly textbooks
can sometimes be skipped.
"A lot of [general education]
classes, where there's online home-
work you don't really need to get
the book," Stober said. "My physics
book was pretty much available
online."
Landscape architecture sopho-
more Alex Davis said he snubbed
his statistics textbook and got a C
in the class.
"Lectures were online, notes were
online, quizzes were online," he
said. "I thought there were enough
resources that I didn't need it."
When it comes to buying books
on campus, students can't always
shop around, as many teachers order
books exclusively to certain stores.
Kenneth Kidd, the associ-
ate graduate coordinator for the
English department, said the major-
ity of English teachers order books
to independent bookstores.such as
Goering's.
"They're not as interested in
volume," Kidd said. "They're also
interested in supporting the intellec-
tual community in Gainesville and
the artistic community."

GREEK LIFE
Independent report gives answers to Greek issues
By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org
Freshmen should expect an improved Greek
"community" at UF this Fall thanks to a nearly
$5,000 analysis of UF's Greek system commis-
sioned by the Division of Student Affairs.
Vice President of Student Affairs Patricia
Telles-Irvin said she decided UF's Greek sys-
tem needed a closer look because of "concerns
about some of the behaviors I had seen and
behaviors that had come to my attention."
"I wanted to better understand what was
going on," Telles-Irvin said.
According to the analysis, "what was going
on" were issues including safety problems in
chapter houses, a lack of development in pub-
lic relations and problems with determining .
Homecoming pairings of chapters.
Ron Binder and his assistant, Damien
Duchamp, of Bowling Green State University
were brought to UF to conduct the analysis.
Binder has more than 20 years' experience
with Greek affairs.
"These are experts in the field," Telles-Irvin
said. "They've seen the best, and they've seen
the worst, and I wanted them to give us a
gauge to where we are because we want to
be the best."
Binder said he found that everyone within
the Greek community realized there were ar-
eas in need of change and included 15 recom-
mendations for improvement in his analysis.
Along with Duchamp, he met with focus
groups comprised of UF faculty and members
of the Greek community.
One of the most pressing issues Binder said
he found was the condition of Greek housing.
He said safety in the house was the biggest
concern, and "the quality of housing was not
good and, in some cases, incredibly poor."
"These are experts in the field.
They've seen the best, and they've
seen.the worst, and I wanted them
to give us a gauge to where we are
because we want to be the best."
Patricia Telles-lrvin
vice president of student affairs
The analysis referred to some chapter
houses as "inadequate, unsafe, out-of-date and
generally unattractive with few exceptions."
Another topic arising among the focus
groups was the Greeks' relationship with the
Alligator and the boycott launched by fraterni-
ties and sororities against the paper to counter
what they perceived as mainly negative press.
The analysis stated that, "By their own ad-
mission, the strategy has been largely unsuc-
cessful," adding "there is a disproportionate
amount of attention given to the negative and
less to the positive" coverage.
Anthony Crenshaw, assistant director of
the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Affairs,
said some of the recommendations, including
the relocation of the Office of Fraternity and
Sorority Affairs, were implemented before the
community analysis was completed.
He said the key to the Greek community's
success will be to re-engage alumni.
"Our office along with the Office of Student
Affairs is putting together a three-year strate-
gic plan," he said. "We'll break the report up
and look over it for the next three years."
Crenshaw and Telles-Irvin both said they
look forward to an improved community as a
result of the study.
"I know the Greeks play a critical role at the
university," Telles-Irvin said. "We need to find
better ways to facilitate their contributions."
National Pan-Hellenic and Multicultural Greek councils recruit outside of Rush
RUSH, from page 10
students must decide which orga-
nization they would like to join and
begin the new-member process.
For the nearly 1,200 women at UF
deciding to take part in Panhellenic
recruitment week, the process is
slightly different.
There are four rounds of "par-
ties," required meet-and-greets be-
tween potential and current sorority
members at the chapter houses.
The first round is the most casual.
Students visit all 16 chapter houses
and after each round rank the chap-
ter houses by preference.
The following day they are
given a schedule telling them which
houses to visit.
By the fourth round, or the "pref-
erence round," students will visit
only three houses for one hour each.
Bids are given the following day.
PC Membership Vice President
Courtney Weir said one of the main
benefits of joining a sorority is "the
true sense of a home away from
home for first-time students."
Both Weir and Bucciarelli empha-
sized that students can withdraw at
any time during the process.
"One could go through the
whole week, receive a bid from all 24
chapters, decide that Greek life isn't
for him and simply walk
Greek away," Bucciarelli said.
Life Freshman Adam
Lieberman, 19, said he
plans to rush this Fall in part because
he's hoping to make good friends.
"It seems at UF, especially, being
in the Greek scene is definitely the
way to go," he said. "More of the
social scene is in the Greek life."
Lieberman said he isn't too wor-
ried about hazing rumors he's heard.
"I've seen friends go through it,
and if they can do it, I can," he said.
IFC spokesman Jeremy Martin
said hazing won't be tolerated.
"When I went through the new-
member education process, I would
have been comfortable filming the
entire thing and having my mom
watch everything I did. My guess
is that many people feel the same
way," Martin said.
UF's two other Greek councils,
the National Pan-Hellenic Council
and the Multicultural Greek Council,
recruit members throughout the year
on a chapter-by-chapter basis.
For NPHC there is a period be-
ginning in September when some of
the recruitment takes place. But the
organizations can decide at which
times of the year they want to take
in new members.
The chapters of MGC are fea-
tured in a showcase, in which each
gives out information on its indi-
vidual recruitment process..
Full details can be found on each
of the councils' UF Web sites.
Students accepting bids will
begin the 10-week new-member
process known as pledging directly
following recruitment week.
f
It's a little something we like to call,
"cheaper used textbooks."

RESEARCH
Test-tube IQ: UF leads the way in stem-cell research
Editor's note: This story origi-
nally appeared in the Alligator
in June.
By ALEJANDRA CANCINO
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF scientists have been in
the national spotlight since find-
ing a new way of watching and
controlling stem cells from a
rodent's brain until the cells
become specialized a new
method that mimics the natural
production of human brain cells.
"We used bits and pieces of differ-
ent protocols to come up with the
one that would let us see the repro-
duction of cells and control their
growth," said Dennis A. Steindler,
executive director of the Evelyn
F. and William L. McKnight Brain
Institute.
Researchers have been looking
for a method, which would induce
brain stem cells to produce special-
ized cells that would cure diseases,
such as Parkinson's disease or
epilepsy, for more than 50 years,
Steindler said.
And scientists from UF's
Program in Stem Cell Biology and
Regenerative Medicine believe that
this method could be the one.
Stem cells are unspecialized cells
that can replicate many times over
and become another type of cell
with a specialized function, such as
a red blood cell or muscle cell.
UF scientists used new condi-
tions to treat the rodent stem brain

days old. Cells that are green with a slight tint of red are about to make the transition into neurons.
cells and exposed them to a growth
factor, Steindler said.
After the cells were exposed to
that factor, it was taken away, and
the cells were directed toward the
new desired lineages.
UF scientists were able to watch
the process step by step thanks
to a special microscope that took
pictures of the cells every five min-
utes, which were later compiled
into a short film.
"For the first time scientists
were able to watch the cells
give life to new daughter cells,"
Steindler said.
The study was published in a
recent issue of "Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences."
If this method can be dupli-
cated with human brain stem cells,
scientists could use it to screen for
drugs that would stimulate the
brain stem cells to produce special-
ized cells needed to cure diseases,
Steindler said.
As a second alternative, scien-
tists could also generate specialized
cells in culture dishes and transport
them into the brain, he said.
For example, Parkinson's dis-
ease occurs when the brain cells
called substantial nigra begin to
malfunction and eventually die.
In the case of Parkinson's
disease, scientists could use the
method to screen for drugs that
would stimulate brain cells to cre-
ate more substantial nigra or they
could generate substantial nigra in
culture dishes and transport them
to the brain.
Substantia nigra cells are im-
portant because they produce do-
pamine, a chemical substance that
transmits nerve impulses to parts
of the brain that control movement
initiation and coordination.
Without substantial nigra, the
brain produces less dopamine, and
as a result, people with Parkinson's
disease begin to experience symp-
toms that might include tremor,
rigidity, delayed movements or im-
paired balance and coordination.
Steindler said that preliminary
research with human brain cells
has already been done.
"It looks encouraging," he said.
"We are pretty confident that this
would work."

Gator Growl taps Brady for comic relief
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 performers, such as Jerry Seinfeld and
Jay Leno, at the world's largest student-run
pep rally.
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.
Colleen McGarr, a talent coordinator
who works with Gator Growl, said Brady
will work closely with Carmody and the
rest of the Growl staff to tailor his act spe-
cifically for this year's show.
"He's from Orlandc c. he's super tlanlil-
iar with Gator Growl," Id I.iarr a.idl
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
G is the first performer of
his kind at Gator Growl
because he will incorpo-
rate comedy, music and
Improvisation all in one
show.
Growl spokesman
Brady
Growl performer 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..
Carmody said -he still is-searching for
possible 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..
Both Carmody and Chase noted that ev-
erything is iight on schedule for what will
be Gator Growl's 80th year.
Carmody, who went on a scouting mis-
sion last month to see Brady in Las Vegas,
said he believes attendees "will be blown
away with how talented Wayne Brady is,"
adding that he feels Brady's performance
will be unlike anything Gator Growl has
seen before.
Tickets are available now, and Chase said
he expected ticket sales to pick up now that
Brady has been named as part of the enter-
tainment 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.

A familiar sight on campus
since 1971, the Krishnas are
reputed to have the cleanest
kitchen in Gainesville.
Between classes, students
can pick up snacks at the three
convenience stores on campus.
The Little Hall Express, located
across from the art school on
Stadium Road, serves Boar's

Beaty Towers and Graham Hall
both have convenience stores, but

A slice of life: Editors review Gainesville's pizza
By MIKE GIMIGNANI
and EVA KIS
Pizza. It's a staple for any well-rounded
college student forgive the pun.
Our search for the best cheese-and-toma-
to pie began as a fun service for this newspa-
per, a sort of introduction to the editors.
Ten days and untold thousands of calories
later, it became a quest. Needless to say, while
rating Gainesville's pizza we may have eaten
our quota of the stuff for a decade or two.
But we're ready to share our findings, the
best and the rest of local slices. While by no
means all the pizza options in town, we feel.
this list covers the prominent ones.
We rated the pies on a number of basic
factors, including sauce character, cheese
compatibility, crust and overall taste.
A couple of additional categories we in-
cluded on the facing page are grease levels,
because some people like grease and others
don't, and our "morning-after factor," the
tastiness of the pizza after spending several
hours on our patented apartment kitchen
counter.
That's right: We ate pizza for breakfast,
too.
The results are available on the next page,
but here's our summary of pizza in town:
Satchel's
The menu says "the difference between
a good meal and a
z'---i-y i-i." really great meal is
about an hour wait,"
and they mean it. But if you've got a long
lunch break, this place is worth the drive,
the wait and the price.
Leonardo's
Quick service when the line isn't out the
-M3 ik_ s doors during rush times, the
izza .has a generous crust
with a thin body, and for des-
\ sert an assortment of non-tra-
.u.... ditional treats and teas. All the
salads come with two rolls, which are thick
and best eaten pulled apart and dipped in
either garlic butter or the house marinara.
Momo's
Sometimes, a slice is not just a slice. Like
when it's the size of most others' small piz-
zas. Seriously, these things
are big enough to give men
an inferiority complex and
'.'... ...." satisfy virtually any appe-
tite. The pies are New York
through and through, from the expert hand-
tossing there's probably a degree require-
ment for handling 30-inch pizzas to the
crispy, attitude-laden final product.
Five Star
Best of the chains, no contest. They're also
not afraid to crank up the oven and brown
the cheese a bit without mak-
,f .ing the dough unchewably
^ ^ ~tough, a rarity among all the
~ '-' places we tried. The cheese
and sauce complemented
each other nicely, the dough
wasn't too much or thin, and for the price,
it can't be beat.
Big Lou's
Never having heard of this place was
the first of the surprises, as both the pizza
and atmosphere are delightfully New York.
The pizza came out fast, though a little sus-
piciously so, but it was a good balance of all
the essentials, plus a crispy crust that was
unusual but not unenjoyable.
Mellow Mushroom
Greasetastic doesn't even begin to con-
vey it, but if you're a crust snob, you'll
e 11 1,, never go anywhere
.'llJ ,:.OTI T, else again. Founded
P, b..-. / by college students
for college .students,
the environment lives
up to its namesake. The pizzas could use a
bit more time in the oven, but the love and
fresh ingredients make for a worthwhile
long lunch.
Italian Gator
Service so quick it's like this literal hole-
in-the-wall across from campus is always
expecting a customer.
.. .- Which, given its acces-
S sibility, student budget-
l\ ~~/4 friendly prices and kicky
flavors, isn't unreasonable.
The cheese and/or sauce
packed a surprising kick, so the free drink
with the two-slice lunch special came in
handy. Though greasier than some, it would
hold up to the authoritative scrutiny of other
such window-service places anywhere.
Pizza Hut
Forgoing the greasy-crisp crust, if you can
make that kind of sacrifice, the.pizza is
g otherwise generous in all de-
partments. Unfortunately, the
same fate as the crust befalls
the breadsticks, but if you're
looking for something fast
and surprisingly not-fake, this won't leave
you unhappy.
Papa John's
The included peppers and dipping sauces
score points for this chain, but they're also
most of the reason why
< -- the pizza tastes decent.
." '?. i Despite the "better in-
gredients" tagline and
the box's proclamation
that our "pizza experience was managed by
Christ," the package deal tastes a bit dishonest
at first. However, it's remarkably tasty luke-
warm and day-old.
Hungry Howie's
Hunger is necessary for an optimum ex-
perience here. Though the cheese is good,
its virtues are lost to the
'-''"" "''' oddly sweet sauce and un-
(' } remarkable, though fairly
substantial, body of dough.
And fuhgeddaboutit once
the pie cools. However, several people in-
side the restaurant looked to be studying,
taking occasional nibbles of their slices, so
what do we know?
Domino's
Though the pizza looks and tastes just the
sort one would expect off the conveyor belt
at the end of a factory assem-
bly line, the breadsticks are
outrageously good. Sprinkled
with Parmesan cheese, they're
fluffy and suggest garlic with-
out making it the main event. The portion is
somewhat skimpy, but it's just as well that
it's not affordable to eat your body weight
in them.
Cici's
Come for the prices, especially to stay at the
pizza/salad bar, but not a palate-tingling ex-
perience. The pizza starts out
S <'\ well with springy dough and
well-baked cheese, but when
the sauce hits the tongue, the
party's over. It's weirdly bitter
and sweet at the same time, and while an ap-
propriate metaphor for life, it's not a credit
to the pizza.
Gumby's
The Pokey Stix are worth the trip and are
even better if you can leave
some for the next morning,
but the pizza is sub-par.
The only taste we could
discern seemed to be the grease.
Godfather's
The pies here are overpriced for their
size and taste old, though you
wouldn't think so considering
the wait time. The "bread"sticks
were more like Melba Toast.
Now informed, it's your turn to decide
what's important to your pizza experience,
whether that means something quick and
cheap after a long night of partying or making
a trip to somewhere you wouldn't be frowned
upon for eating your slice with a pinky stick-
ing out.

ings on the facing page.

new people who will bring some new perspectives to the
university, which I think will be helpful."
Fouke, elected to UF's No. 2 spot in June, will begin at
her post Aug. 15, replacing Interim Provost Joe Glover.
Fouke left a deanship at Michigan State University
after receiving the approval of UF's Board of Trustees and
Machen.
UF "I was thrilled," Fouke said in
-.: "i ;.i'... '.;.' ,. June when she first heard of her
hiring. "It's an excellent institu-
tion. It's a complex institution."
Fouke, who will oversee nine other vice presidents,
has a three-part plan for when she arrives: examine what
tools are used to run UF, assure the best candidates are
hired and mentor employees after they sign on..
"It's all about the people finding good people and
then clearing the boulders out of their way," Fouke said.
Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin
joined UF in October 2004, one year after Machen took
office.
Her office supervises the Dean of Students Office,
the Reitz Union and the Department of Housing and
Resident Education.
In addition to Machen's top administrators and UF's
highest governing body, the Board of Trustees, UF is run
by 10 vice presidents who oversee all aspects of operation,
from health and student affairs to research, alumni and
government relations.
Vice president, treasurer once had other college plans
SG, from page 5
Medina said she enjoys "being
able to give back" with her SG co-
workers.
"I'm inspired by the people
around me," she said. "I'm inspired,
by the fact that people are trying to
change things on this campus."
She said she is concentrating on
re-branding SG to bring a new mis-
sion statement and positive images
to the public.
"We're looking to really im-
prove," she said.
But she said grades should al-
ways come first.
"Keeping busy kept me on
track," she said. "The main reason
we are here [is to] get a degree.
From there, you should start fill-
ing your plate. Success is what you
make it. Success is different for
everybody."
Medina is a political science
and criminology senior and will
receive a $6,147 salary.
Treasurer seeks legacy
She just didn't want. to go to UF.
She wanted to go to school at Tulane
University in New Orleans, but her
parents convinced her to become a
Gator because the move would be a
little lighter on the family wallet.
However, Student Body
Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi said she
hardly regrets following her par-
ents' guidance.
"I've grown in the past four years
to bleed orange and blue," she said.
"I can't imagine being anywhere else
and being this happy. We should all
consider ourselves lucky."
Cosimi said she has been in-
volved in SG since her high school
days in Longwood, but getting onto
The Gator Party executive ticket in
Spring 2005 was not expected.
"I have always been involved in
SG," she said. "SG has been the only
way I could give back to the univer-
sity and the students in ways I could
never have even dreamed of."
But Cosimi, a political science
senior, said she's not resting on
her laurels. She said she wants to
cauterize the loopholes in UF's fi-
nancial codes.
"I don't stop," she said. "I'm really
dedicated to it. I know I want to leave
a legacy. I want the next treasurer to
walk into an organized office."
Cosimi said incoming freshmen
represent an important 'demo-
graphic in SG because they bring
energy and passion to the job.
"You won't get enough out of
your college experience if you don't
get involved in something," she
said. "You'll feel like you've gained
so much more."
Cosimi will be paid $6,813.

SANTA FE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Parking decals tip of the iceberg of new agenda
By ALEJANDRA CANCINO
Alligator Contributing Writer
Xavier Boada finished high school in May
with one.thing clear in his mind Santa Fe
Community College.
Boada, an 18-year-old freshman from
Miami, wants to get an associate's degree in
criminology from SFCC, transfer to UF in two
years and eventually go to law school.
"I came to Gainesville because Santa Fe is a
good college and because I want to go to UF,"
he said.
Like Boada, about 40 percent of SFCC's
new students come from counties other than
Alachua and Bradford, with most of them
hailing from South Florida.
But it is no coincidence they choose SFCC
- many use it as a stepping stone to get to
UF, since about 60 percent of SFCC students
who decide to continue their education
in a four-year university attend UF, said
SFCC's Institutional Research and Planning
Coordinator Jaime Castro.
SFCC Interim Vice President of Academic
Affairs Anne Kress said although SFCC and
UF have no formal academic agreements, both
institutions have a long-standing relationship
"driven by the, fact that the vast majority of
SFCC students want to attend UF."
For example, she said, the institutions' cur-
ricula are compatible so students don't have
problems if they decide to transfer to UF, and
UF advisers go to SFCC at least once a year to
make sure students there are on track to get
toUF.
But administrators are not the only ones
looking after SFCC students.
With only a couple of months in office,
SFCC Student Body President Alan Rezaei
"Most students won't feel that it is
necessary to pay for a decal, but it
is a safety-and-fair issue."
-Alan Rezael
SFCC student body president
said he wants to alleviate students' biggest
headache parking.
SFCC is trying to institute a new policy of
parking decals, an idea Rezaei supports.
He said because most students do not reg-
ister their cars under their name, police cannot
track the people who park illegally or cause ac-
cidents. With the decals police would be able to
hold accountable those who park at SFCC.
"Most students won't feel that it is neces-
sary to pay for a decal, but it is a safety-and-
fair issue," he said.
The proposal is still being developed and
revised, he added, and the college committee
in charge is looking into what kind of decals
would be instituted. Students should have an
answer when the committee votes in early
Fall.
Rezaei also plans to continue "The Intern,"
a six-week long competition that started last
year and was inspired by Donald Trump's hit
TV show "The Apprentice."
Eight students competed in the first
contest in community-based tasks for an
internship with Gainesville Mayor Pegeen
Hanrahan.
And although this year students might
compete again for an internship with
Hanrahan, Rezaei said he wants to expand
the program perhaps getting students to
compete for an internship with the governor
in the future.
Not all student honor societies are created equal
* SOME GROUPS HAVE DE-
FRAUDED STUDENTS.
By CAITLIN HARRIS
Alligator Contributing Writer
Getting into some honor societies
may not be such an honor.
Students at UF receive invita-
tions to numerous honor societies
every year. Some of these societies
exist to honor and recognize hard-
working students, while others are
developed to con students out of
money.
The difference between the two
may be hard to recognize, said
Jeanna Mastrodicasa, associate di-
rector of the Honors Program at UF.
There have been incidents in the
past involving fraudulent honor
societies on UF's campus, she said.
Students need to be wary of all or-
ganizations.
A few years ago, Mastrodicasa
said she attended a conference
where a presentation was given
on fake honor societies. A speaker
talked about a UF fraternity member
who bought names and addresses of
fellow students from his fraternity
brothers.
He sent out fake letters inviting
students to join a nonexistent honor
society, she said. In exchange for
money, these students were prom-
ised induction into the fake society.
"It's a pure scam," Mastrodicasa
said. "If it seems too good to be true,
it probably is."
Students should take precau-
tions, she said. The first thing to
check is the history of the society
and when it was founded. Societies
founded within the last 10 years
probably are not very
Student reputable.
Life Students also need
to look at the admis-
sion criteria, she said. Some of these
honor societies are designed to fill
spots on a resume, but the truly le-
gitimate ones have difficult criteria
for students to meet.
A 3.2 or 3.3 grade point average
is the minimum for acceptance into
legitimate honor societies, she said.
Anything lower usually means it is
just a recognition society.
Credible honor societies also
have extensive Web sites, she said.
Students should visit the site and
look for contact information, a
national office and headquarters,
initiation fees and chapter charter
policies and procedures.
To deal with the increase in
fraudulent honor societies, the
Honors Program at UF has part-
nered with the Office of Student
Activities to help keep students
informed and aware, she said.
There are several links from
the Honors Program Web site,
www.honors.ufl.edu, that detail
the criteria honor societies must
meet before they are nationally ac-
credited.
"There has been a huge increase
in the number of groups that seem
to be more profit-oriented than in-
terested in honoring students," said
Chris Cupoli, assistant director of
student involvement at UF
Last year, a fraudulent organiza-
tion was formed for this purpose, he
said. It claimed to have a chapter
at UF and provided a Web site that
misrepresented a relationship with
the university.
"I think there are very few
groups that add significant value to
a resume," he-said. "Students need
to do their homework."

Eric Carlson, a tattoo artist and
Tattoo artist Stenvik Mostrom works on a new tattoo for John Lee at Body Tech on University Av-
enue on July 19.
manager of Body Tech Inc., 806
W University Ave., stresses the
importance of taking time to care-
fully contemplate the design and
placement of a tattoo.
"If you have no clue of what
to get, spend some time thinking
about the design and the loca-
tion, but don't ask other people,"
Carlson said. Ultn.matL, you're
the one who will have to live with
the tattoo for the next 70 years."

Austin Stocki agrees freshmen

While .sciuling tir lth- perfect

survey the cleanliness of the
shop's front room.
"If you walk in and it d:, i n t
I,:,:l. ,:ian walk out," Ca. I.-,n
said, "If a shop can't keep thl
front room clean, who knows
how sanitary the equipment is?"
In addition to the shop's
cleanliness, students should ask
to see portfolios of artists' work.
More experienced artists have
extensive portfolios for custom-
ers to page through.
After picking out the right
design and the perfect shop, a
client is ready to seal the deal.
Tattoo parlors ask clients to-
fill out forms with contact and
health information and sign a
liability release.
Next, the artist will make a
transfer of the chosen design to
use as a guideline for the tattoo.
Finally, the artist will outline the
iht.iaec and fill it in.
The tattooed area takes about
two weeks to heal completely.
As for the discomfort level,
it truly depends on the individ-
ual's tolerance for pain, Carlson
said.
"When people ask me if it
hurts, I tell them it feels like be-
ing bitten by a chicken," Carlson
said. '"i,;estl\e. the anticipation
is i- :r-. thri, th-,e actual proce-
dure."
With five tattoos and count-
ing, Stocki feels that his tattoos
are a unique part of his identity?
"All of my tattoos are per-

Stocki said. "Whenever I have

Gainesville Community Playhouse's
new $2 million, 10,000 square-foot theater
is scheduled to open with the Jan. 27 debut
of "Cinderella." To the community theater

Roaster ready to open cafe
By ANGIE DE ANGELS
Avenue Writer
Sweetwater Organic Coffee promises to be com-
pletely different than the average coffee shop.
Nestled in a quiet part of east Gainesville, the
small, nondescript storefront at 1202 NE Eighth
Ave. doesn't look like much from the
outside. A banner with the Sweetwater
name is the only thing that lets people can't I

But Sweetwater is open as a cometojust
wholesale company, catering to res- drink coffin
taurants like Ivey's Grill, Paramount Nora
Grill, Satchel's Pizza, Sweet Dreams Sweetwater
Ice Cream, Leonardo's 706, Dinner at 'o
Thomebrook and even a couple of local
gas stations.
A coffeehouse is scheduled to open sometime
in September, as well as an online ordering service
through its Web site at www.sweetwaterorganiccof
fee.com.
This summer, Sweetwater became the first and
only USDA-certified organic roaster in Florida.
Even with the coffeehouse not yet open, business
has been growing at the small roasting company.
"We already can't keep the free sample pot full
because so many people come to just hang out and
drink coffee already," said owner Nora Edison.
"Every single one of them asks, 'When is the coffee
bar going to be open? I'm gonna be in here every

Inside the roasting room, dozens
of burlap bags of coffee beans from
around the world line the far wall.
They've come from as far away
as Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica,
d Nicaragua, Mexico, Peru, Brazil;
Ethiopia and Sumatra.
Much of the coffee grown in-
these countries comes from very
poor regions, but Sweetwater's cof-
fee is fairly traded, meaning farmers get
paid a living wage to grow it.
While fair trade is a hot topic among coffee sell-
ers, Edison and her husband, Chris Neumann, said
they don't want to push it on people.
"We love talking about it, and we love to let
people know, 'Hey, this great coffee is also coming
to you correct,' but we don't use that as a selling
point," Neumann said.

Fall movies look sizzling after summer flicks fizzled
While the summer movie
season was a little disap-
pointing, it seems that
fall has the potential to make up for
the lack of cinematic talent these
sweltering months provided.
This fall, moviegoers will get
a break from the massive produc-
tion-and-budget action movies the
film studios tried to float this sum-
mer but ultimately flopped.
Hollywood is looking to theme
this fall with dramatic pieces and
mild thrillers.
In the action genre the fall will
begin as hunky Jason Statham
returns in -"Transporter 2." It
promises cool action sequences
that remind me of Jackie Chan or
Jet Li-type fighting only with a
much hotter Statham.
The Rock will star in "Doom"
in November, which is based
on the classic computer game I
think everyone has played at least
once. The wrestler is known for
his memorable turns in critically
acclaimed movies such as "The
Scorpion King" so I am sure
he will keep up his street creden-
tials by mutilating aliens all while
keeping one eyebrow raised. Now
that's what I call talent.
The sequels to "Saw" and "The
Mask of Zorro" round out the ac-
tion-movie lineup for the fall.
Drama and romance will
abound as the leaves turn as well.
Reese Witherspoon and Mark
Ruffalo will pair up in "Just Like
Heaven," which to me looks like
a cross between "Ghost" and
"Heart and Souls." Ruffalo falls
for the spirit
of a beautiful
woman, played
by Witherspoon
of course, who
used to live in his
new apartment
and continues to "haunt" it.
Gwyneth Paltrow will pursue
a second Academy Award nomi-
nation and possibly win it in the
movie version of the Pulitzer
Prize-winning Broadway_ play
"Proof." Paltrow stars as the
th
troubled daughter of a brilliant but
mentally ill mathematician played
by Anthony Hopkins.
Cameron Diaz will star in
the movie adaptation of Jennifer
Weiner's comic
Melissa novel "In Her
Filipkowski Shoes," a story
The Reel Life about two very
heavenue@alligator.org different sisters
and their rela-
tionship. Claire
Danes will have to choose between
a quirky musician and a suave old-
er man played by Steve Martin in
the romantic comedy "Shopgirl."
"Almost Famous" direc-
tor Cameron Crowe will return
with another drama called
"Elizabethtown," which already is
creating some buzz.
I predict the blockbuster mov-
ies for the fall or the movies
I am most excited to see are:
"Harry Potter and the Goblet of
Fire," "Rent," "The Producers:
The Movie Musical," "King Kong"
and "The Chronicles of.Narnia:
The Lion, The Witch and The
Wardrobe."
All have had major buzz a hd
already have trailers in theaters.
Whatever movies you choose
to see during the season, we can
be assured the fall, while colder,
will definitely be a hotter movie
season than the summer turned
out to be.
Cleavage calls for extreme caution: no butts about it
Both guys and girls seem to straddle
the line on this issue.
A divide by any other name would
call this trend "plumber's crack."
The euphemism emerged in 2002 when
fashionistas donning low-slung pants dared
to bare a little more of the foul line.
With this picnic of skin, some guys find
a feast for the eyes while others find a less-
enticing snack.
"It aiakes me want to go give the girl a
giant wedgie," my friend Ryan said.
Brandishing a g-string in addition to the
back-eye slit has lowered the bar for tacki-
ness yet another notch.
Ladies, do you actually think this looks
good?
At dinner the other night, I had the
misfortune of sitting face-
to-bum with a girl on a
barstool whose cheeks
were revealed for all to
see. -They were staring at
me. I. pondered the many
ways this was unsanitary,
but I digress.
If fashion condones it, it must be OK,
right? Hm, I wonder if history will look as
favorably on butt cleavage as it does on acid-
washed jeans and leisure suits.
Your Fashion a Go-Go calls this fashion
a no-no.
However, there is no
doubt the ass is making
Christine a new statement. It's chic.-
Steffens It's mod. It's vogue.
Fashion a Go-Go The flat, booty-less
theavenue@alligator.org waif of the '90s is a thing
of the past. Thank good-
ness women no longer
have to feel self-conscious about an ample
derriere.
Let's celebrate the fanny!
But please, exercise caution. Some
-girls just don't know when to say when.
Remember, crack kills.
So, may I suggest a bit of self-censorship
when it comes to superfluous skin folding
over the waistband?
I can guarantee you will thank me later.
Like all things, I have a feeling that this-
fad too shall pass, much like the big heavy-
metal hair of the '80s adorning my middle
school yearbook pictures.
Let's just hope you don't have photo-
graphic evidence of this one.

with "Gainesville Rock City." Last April, we
were ranked in the Top 5 of Esquire's "Cities.
that Rock." Everything from "solo acoustic
grind chord" (Rubber Room).to "ska-core
surf rock" (Ten 13 Concept) graces the local
stages on an average night.
I humbly present to you some pointers
for the future Gainesville music scenester.
Online Guide to Bands
ImmerseyourselfinGainesvillebands.com
- the only site you'll need for everything
music in Gainesville. The site has a compre-
hensive upcoming show list, quick profiles
of just about every band in town and a mes-
sage board to discuss everything in between.
New musicians in town should check out the
Create-A-Band forum, where many bands re-
cruit members or form entirely new acts.
The webmaster, Glypher, ubiquitous at
all major shows for the last 50 years, puts his
heart and soul into local music.
Where to buy local music
Browse through local music CDs and
records around town.
Hyde and Zeke's, 1620 W University
Ave., No Future Records, 107 N Main St.,
Hear Again CDs, 818. W University Ave.,
and the local CD Warehouse franchise, 3224
SW 35th Boulevard, sell music by local acts.
Anyone interested in independent music
should check out the Wayward Council, 807
W University Ave, a "non-profit store" that
sells independent records and CDs, T-shirts
and 'zines.
Another tip for the future is to keep an
eye on the Alachua County library system. It
is in the process of beefing up its local music
collection.
Local music on the radio dial
Despite the absolute travesty of not hav-
ing an independent college radio station in
town, local music can be found on the FM
radio dial.
Every Wednesday at 9 p.m. on The Buzz,
100.5 FM, hear clueless local music impresa-
rio Moe Rodriguez mess up the soundboard
and beg his guests not to curse. Thankfully,
he also plays some great music, and his ban-
ter is entertaining.
The Locals Only show is on with DJ
Philip Ny 2 ar.-n on Rock 104, 103.7 FM, every
Sunday night. The real bonus here is the
station's Web site Rockl04.com streams
every week's show commercial free.
Music for cheap
If you're skeptical and maybe a little
cheap, plenty of shows around town are
absolutely free. Behind Chipotle Grill on
University Aveinue is a purple house called
Tim and Terry's Music and More.
Located at 1417 NW First Ave., Tim and
Terry's sells a bit of everything, including beer,
guitars and the best grilled-cheese sandwiches.
Oc ar ,,-:,i;', it also holds an "intimate" show
in its limited space. Last year ska legends the
Toasters played an acoustic set.
. On UF's campus, shows have been hap-
pening more often. Most of them are free.
The Reitz Union is the usual scene, with
bands playing in the Orange and Brew on
Thursday and Friday nights.
Last year, the Stephen C. O'Connell
Center brought in some big names, includ-
ing the Roots. Other places like Satchel's
Pizza and the Downtown Community Plaza
also host shows once in a while.
What's not the local music scene
Stay away from'the Swamp Restaurant and
"venues" like it. Nothing against the Swamp
itself you can eat there, but don't go for the
music. The nightly dude in a collared shirt and
khaki shorts singing massacred Sublime and
Van Morrison covers isn't Gainesville's real
scene.
The frequent, excruciating cover of
"Wonderwall" might be what forced the Oasis
reunion so the Gallagher brothers could re-
deem their music.
Unless you plan on rushing this year (and I
don't mean 2112), stay far, far away.

SURVIVAL GUIDE
Hurricane party kits call for more than 'D' batteries
they're baa-ack.
The merciless storms that tear
through rooftops, flood streets and
erode beaches, leaving behind a chunk change
of destruction, only to be remembered by
names like Ivan or Frances.
This season, the first hurricane fo brush
the sunshine state showed little mercy to
the panhandle, but it also began the annu-
.ffrenzy to gather survival supplies such
as generators and non-perishable foods.
Many of these supplies run standard
across the state but this is Gainesville,
college town extraordinaire.
If you think the orange and blue lining
the streets for the first game day is surreal,
just wait until the first hurricane. This place is
anything but normal then.
A good majority of UF students live in
rented space, like dorms or apartments, al-
leviating the largest stress of hurricanes.
Whatever damage ensues on the property,
someone else will have to foot the bill. With
that worry out of the way, here are the sur-
vival supplies students really need during
hurricane season:
Being trapped anywhere in Gainesville
won't be fun without good friends. When
hurricanes spin toward
town, make plans to have
friends stay over and have
a hurricane party. The term
"safety in numbers" applies
here whether it's true or
not, it'll make everyone feel
better when the winds begin to howl.
A hurricane party needs food, with several
slight adjustments. If there's any time to try and
clear out the freezer and refrigerator, this would
be it. If the power goes out, the food will spoil
anyway. Heat up those Hot Pockets that have
icicles from prolonged freezer time. Make some
pudding with milk that's about to go bad.
Create a smorgasbord of hors d'oeuvre before
the electricity blows. If anything, it'll be fun to
see what's been lurking in the fridge all year.
Watching live coverage of weathermen
braving the storm can be entertaining, but
unless one of them gets hit with a Ramada
sign, it gets old quickly. Stock up on mov-
ies before the storm. Box-set collections
of TV shows provide endless hours of
entertainment and allow
Heather for breaks in between. A
Berger good choice is "Family
Survival Guidess Guy: Season 3" humor
hberger@alligator.org makes time go by faster.
But what happens after
you've been eating Hot
Pockets and watching "Family Guy" for eight
hours?
You're legs will stiffen and you'll feel like a
beached whale.
This is when things get silly.
Reach under the bed and pull out
that Tae Bo workout video you've never
touched. Move all furniture to the side
and feel the cardiovascular burn you never
knew you could handle. If someone feels
inclined, let them lead the workout. Even
if Billy Blanks' belligerent punching and
kicking proves too much, it could be the
most entertaining part of the hurricane.
Next, make sure to have camera fully
charged. Put on a poncho, grab a flashlight
and try to be as cool as the weathermen on
TV. Taking fake pictures of your friends defy-
ing the storm on the balcony or porch make
great memories of your quarantined weekend
at home. This might sound lame, but after 24
hours, it'll sound great.
The last six-pack of survival supplies are
for those students 21 and older. Relaxing with
a few beers can always ease hurricane party
tensions. No one has to worry about guests
trying to drive home, so everyone wins. Good
times.
Instead of wreaking havoc when the next
storm heads toward town, keep this article
handy and take it easy. In Gator Country, even
hurricanes mean party time.
Meteorologists nationwide predict this
hurricane season to break records in size and
number.
Let the storming begin.
Nonstop sex, sophisticated men revealed as merely sexual myth
ou think you're going to get laid every weekend.
You won't.
Or you think attractive, sophisticated medical stu-
dents are the norm.
They aren't.
You think everyone in college has sex all the time, and
you might even think you need a sock-on-the-doorknob
code with your roommate to prevent awkward situations.
You'll never need a sock on the doorknob. In fact, it's
more likely your roommate will walk in on you masturbat-
ing than you having sex anywhere often enough to need a
do-not-disturb sign.
Anyway, it's not your fault. Everyone comes to school
qith a head full of collegiate sexual mythology. Women
come into college with the expectation of an ever-lasting
group of smart, sophisticated and attractive singles to date,
and men believe it's all nonstop sex. And both believe that in
college, your sex life is the easy part of being at school.
The origins of these myths may be based in some truths.
Women in college take sex less seriously than when they
were younger. However, high school boys misinterpret
sexual empowerment for promiscuity when hatching stories
in the lunchroom.
For the female freshmen, while your parents may have
met in college and the guys here seem more
mature than any you've known before,
most guys show up at UF with a lot of
growing up to do.
Now, I know no one likes to be lectured,
so I'll only add here what I wish I had been
told four years ago.
First, sex isn't as huge as you make it in your head. Really.
Sex only highlights our most hidden foibles. It's how you
learn a guy can have freckles on his penis or a girl can have
different sized breasts. As awkward and humorous as sex can
be, it also teaches us how little these flaws actually matter.
Second, more than anything else, the college experience
teaches self-discovery. You might have small moments of re-
alization about yourself, like whether or not you leave a note
when you scrape another car in the parking garage. Or they.
might be huge discoveries, like whether or not you prefer
being intimate with men or women.
But with all discoveries about who you are, self-acceptance
remains the only way to have those les-
sons stick. It's also the only way to really
Mr. Lube enjoy your time here.
Risqu6 Business Other than that, I can only stress that
theavenue@alligator.org dating isn't as easy as you think it's go-
ing be.
Maybe you'll be one of those rare,
lucky freshmen who meets someone great from upstairs in
the first month and have a long, happy relationship..
But realistically, you have better odds of contracting an
STD.
The utopia in your mind doesn't exist. You're not going
to get laid every weekend. But that doesn't mean you still
shouldn't have a lot of fun trying.

CAMPUS POLL
Freshmen ask about 'bests' from sushi to hair color
Who better to ask what an in-
coming freshman wants to know
than freshmen themselves? First-
year Avenue reporters Melissa
Thompson and Olee Fowler hit
the campus and polled incoming
Summer B freshmen. This is what
you wanted to know:

"Where is the best
cup of coffee?"
Find your cup of
tea, or in this case,
coffee, at Maude's Classic Cafe
at the downtown Sun Center.
The funky, artsy cafe has the best
chai lattes and dessert coffee in
town. My personal favorite is the
Berliner, with cocoa and ice cream.
Drink coffee with a Maude's clev-
erly named chocolate brownie,
apple pie, cheesecake, tiramisu or
carrot cake. With outdoor .seating,
sip on coffee and enjoy live jazz
music on weekend nights.
-TRAN CHAN
the Avenue Restaurant Reviewer
What's the best venue to view
local bands?
Although people have their
favorites, there is no "best venue."
Common Grounds, 210 SW 2nd
Ave., has been hosting the biggest
names, from the latest Hot Water
spin-off to Less Than Jake. Eddie
C's Pub, 1315 S Main St., has a
bhker vibe and features many met-
al shows. Don't overlook smaller
places like The Side Bar, 15 SW 2nd
St., and The Shamrock Pub, 1017
W University Ave., that sometimes
feature real gems.
BRIAN OFFENTHER

Where can I find
vintage clothing?
There are some great places
in town for people who don't
regulate their style to what's at
American Eagle or Hot Topic.
The main culprits are along-
University Avenue. Persona
Vintage Clothing, 1023 W
University Ave., also rents
out costumes, and Flashbacks
Recycled Fashions, 211 W
University Ave., has a second
floor that proudly sells "stuff."
For the adventurous, head north
on Main Street for dirt cheap sec-
ond-hand shops.

"Where can I get
an affordable cut
and color?"
Beating a bud-
get strain involves
hopping around town for differ-
ent services instead of sticking
with one salon for everything. I
recommend Salon La Di Da, 12 E
University Ave., costing around
$30 for a cut. But you want to
make sure your stylist is not a
senior whose prices tend to be
much higher. For highlights,
Scissors, 411 SW 2nd Ave, is
most affordable starting at $40,
while Tecnicolors Salon, 408. W
University Ave., prices a full
color at $45. If your purse strings
are still tighter, you might want
to consider Regis in the mall,
but their prices are rather com-
petitive, so money saved will be
negligible.

"Where can I see
community the-
| ater?"
The best
venue for community theater
is the Gainesville Community
Playhouse, 4039 NW 16th Blvd.
GCP's new theater opening in
January should raise the commu-
nity standards. Gainesville also
is the home of the Acrosstown
Repertory Theatre, 619 S Main St.
UF's Constans Theater and SFCC's
Auditorium in E building both
are stage student productions. If
you don't mind the drive, High
Springs offers the High Springs
Community Playhouse.

"Where is the best
place to get veg-
etarian food?"
Gainesville is
a great place for
vegetarians, as almost every lo-
cally-owned restaurant has a
decent vegetarian menu. Case in
point: The Reggae Shack Caf6,
619 W University Ave., has killer
Jamaican food in tofu form. For
vegans, Leonardo's Pizza, 1245
W University Ave., features a
dairy-free slice that is quite deli-
cious.

"Is there anywhere
to eat besides
Broward dining?"
Now that you
are a Gator, you
have certain must-do's. You have
to learn the "chomp" for football
*games. And, you have to eat at
Burrito Brothers at least. once.
Burrito Brothers, at the corner
of 13th Street and University
Avenue, actually ships their
burritos to alumni out of town.
You are part of the last incoming
freshmen class to catch them in
their original location before the
University Corners construction
displaces them for a few years.
Welcome to history in the mak-
ing.

"Where is the best
sushi?"
'If you want a
hip and cool atmo-
sphere to eat sushi,
dine at Dragonfly Sushi and Sake
Company, 201 SE 2nd Ave.
The oversized, royal purple
velvet couches and dark red
decor exude a sophisticated,
big-city vibe in this small town.
But for the best taste of raw fish,
Ichiban on 43rd Street wins for
its maki rolls. Also notable are
the Spicy Salmon Tenipura Roll,
Dynamite Roll or Yoshi Roll, a
sweet blend of eel, eel sauce and
avocado. Ichiban is one of the few
sushi places in town that is not all
rice and little fish.

"Where is the best
titty bar?"
Does your
mother know you
asked us this question? No one
else on staff wanted to touch
this one. But in the interest of
objectivity and as a nod to our
Detours roots, I'll take it. If you
don't know what Detours was,
ask around.
Every few miles along 1-75 you'll
find billboards touting Caf6 Risque
in Micanopy as the best strip club
in the area. We're not going to chal-
lenge the advertising. In Gainesville,
the remaining adult entertainment
would be X-mart Adult Supercenter,
3510 SW 13th St. I've never been
there but I've seen the X-mart van
around town. If they can afford a
porno-van, the business must be do-
ing something well.
-CHER PHILLIPS
Are any restaurants open into
the wee hours of the morning?
I remember my surprise when I
discovered Pita Pit at 3 a.m. Located
in the UF Plaza near Gator City, the
Swamp and XS, people swarm the
eatery after the bars and clubs house
lights turn on at 2 a.m. But I am for-
ever fond of Perkins Restaurant and
Bakery on Newberry Road, which
serves breakfast, lunch and dinner
all day, any time.
-TRAN CHAN
Where can I see independent
films and documentaries?
SThe Hippodrome plays some su-
Sper interesting stuff when it doesn't
have live performances. Also, the
film majors have screenings from
time to time if you keep an eye out
for fliers. The Civic Media Center,
1021 E University Ave., offers some
alternative flicks, as well.
-ERIN CHALFANT
Nathaniel Brown

"Where is the best
place for pizza?"
If you end up in
"Mark Rush's eco-
nomics class, you will come to think
of Leondardo's Pizza on University
Avenue as the only place in town.
No.doubt, the big Leo shames any-
thing Pizza Hut ever tried to do with
a pan.
But-let's talk slice here. Momo's
SPizza, 1702 W University Ave.,
claims they have a slice that's as
big as your head. They're not lying.
But don't forget a UF classic, the
Italian Gator, 1728 W University
Ave., has a walk-up window
-- fast, cheap and open late-.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION, a ALLIGATOR 47
Gators make history, play in CWS championship
OMAHA, Neb. The longest season in
UF history went by in a flash.
SOn November 24, when the team was
wrapping up fall workouts, Jeff Corsaletti
predicted as much.
"You play 56 games, and those 56 games
feel like they're all in one month by the time
you're done playing," Corsaletti said. "Before
you know it, it will be done, so you just have
to cherish every moment of it."
Actually, the Gators played 71 games this
year, going further than any previous UF
baseball team by reaching the championship
round of the College World Series.
The success of the 2005 team did not come
overnight. UF coach Pat McMahon stuck with
his strategy from the beginning. Instead of
having his players overwhelmed with the
daunting trials of the entire season, McMahon
sets short-term goals for his team.
"The stages and the plan are really impor-
tant to me because it breaks everything down
into a step," McMahon said. "Now you have a
specific goal that is reachable. With anything
you do, so often people get concerned about
the bigger picture. A journey is steps and
stages, and if you don't take it that way I think
there's a chance to run eschew."
McMahon was named Southeastern
Conference Coach of the Year after the Gators
finished 20-10 in the SEC and won the confer-
ence title.
Prior to the beginning of the season, a
poll of SEC coaches placed the Gators in
third place. That's third place in the Eastern
Division. When informed of his -colleague's
prediction in January, McMahon flashed his
By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org
charismatic smile.
"Interesting," McMahon said. "We'll look
for that as a wonderful challenge to move
things forward. And we will."
Blueprint for Success
One of the most apparent beginnings of
the team's development was the signing of a
highly touted junior college transfer.
A former first-round draft pick in the Major
League Draft, Alan Home returned to the SEC
a year after playing at Chipola Junior College.
His career at Mississippi was cut short by
Tommy John surgery 22 months ago.
When Home stepped on campus in
January McMahon said that pitching coach
Ross Jones turned handsprings in the out-
field.
The Gators also returned a core of four
seniors. Center fielder Jeff Corsaletti turned
down a professional contract in the off-season.
He wanted to increase his draft standing and
reach the College World Series. .
* "If it was up to me, I'd like to hit 12-13
home runs this year," he said in November.
"But, at the same time, if I only hit five or six
home runs and we go to Omaha, I'll take that.
That will work for me."
Corsaletti hit 10 home runs and was draft-
ed in the sixth round by his favorite team, the
Boston Red Sox, improving his draft standing
by 22 rounds. He had predicted the team's
success would ride on the pitching staff.
"Last year, I thought we were one pitcher
short," Corsaletti said. "I think this year we
have a good shot. Our pitching staff, our crop
of new pitchers, we have a bunch of good
ones."
Add to the mix a powerful sophomore first
baseman. Matt LaPorta led his summer league
in home runs in the off-season. He said that the
team was out to prove its detractors wrong.
"Everybody thought we wouldn't even fin-
ish third in-our own division," LaPorta said. "I
knew at the beginning that we had a chance to
go this far."
.LaPorta was named to multiple All-
America teams and led the nation with 26
home runs. He said that the recent success of
the team will be a foundation for future years.
"I think it's good for the team to know that
we should be able to get [to Omaha] every
year," LaPorta said. "Once you get that taste
of it, you should pass that tradition on. People
get that swagger and feel like they can be there
every year."
Emotional Boost
But no story rivaled that of third-baseman
Brandon McArthur. Accounts of his brain
surgeries, following an unprovoked attack
outside a Gainesville bar in October 2003 have
been well documented. While the team played
on ESPN in Nebraska, his heartwarming story
of recovery was repeated to a national audi-
ence. While many people may have been
sympathetic, for much of the year, opponents

didn't cutlMcArthur any slack.
McArthur had the lowest fielding percent-
age of anybody on the team with more than
50 chances. He struggled at the plate at thqbe-
ginning of the year despite nearly scoring the
winning run in the season opener, a game the
Gators lost to Charleston Southern.
"I'm not really worrying about the last
game or thinking about the future," McArthur
said during a 15-game hitting steak in April.
"When you struggle, you let it go. You don't
think about it and don't wonder what wguld
have happened if you would have done it dif-
ferently."
On February 22, McArthur had three hits
against FAMU. Before the game, the scars
from the surgeries were visible after he shaved
his head, shaped in a long arc that resembled
the stitches on a baseball.
He said the new haircut wasn't an attempt
to break his hitting slump.
"I'm not that superstitious about this game,
it wasn't anything like that," McArthur said.
"We're an easy-going team. It was getting
long. I said if we're going to cut it, might as
well take it all off."

UF MEN'S BASKETBALL
Donovan calls on youth to replace talented trio
By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligator.org
If you blinked your eye, you
probably missed it.
One minute, the UF men's bas-
ketball team featured one of the
most talented trios in the NCAA.
Suddenly, the Gators minus
stars David Lee, Matt Walsh and
Anthony Roberson are just a
shell of the team that won the SEC
Tournament in 2005.
But a little rebuilding never
stopped UF coach Billy Donovan.
UF enters the 2005-06 season
full of youth and inexperience, but
there's plenty of talent on the roster
to make the Gators a true threat in
the Southeastern Conference.
Donovan's rebuilding project
begins at the point guard position,
where he must replace Roberson,
the runner-up for SEC Player of the
Year in 2005. Roberson left UF fol-
lowing his junior season but wasn't
selected in the NBA Draft.
Walter Hodge, this year's Florida
Gatorade State Player of the Year
out of Florida Air Academy in
Melbourne, doesn't have quite
the same accolades of Roberson
- a McDonald's High School All
American heading into UF, but
the 6-foot guard's style of play is
similar to that of Roberson.
"Walter adds speed, quickness
and shooting to our backcourt,"
Donovan said. "He has the potential
to be a very good defender and is
coming out of a great high school
program, so we're certainly excited
to have him join us."
The potential battle between
Hodge and soon-to-be sophomore
Taurean Green for the starting point
guard job should be extremely com-
petitive.
Green had a solid freshman sea-
son backing up Roberson. Unlike
Hodge, Green is a true point guard,
looking to pass first.
But if Hodge turns out to be as
explosive as Dono an. hope- itmay
be tough to keep him on the bench
for long.
"It's way too early to talk about
a freshman's playing time. You
never-know how freshman are go-
ing to react to a certain situation,"
scout.com recruiting analyst Dave
Telep said. "But make no mistake,
Walter Hodge was recruited to play
early."
Telep is high on incoming fresh-
man Derwin Kitchen, a 6-foot-4
guard who he believes could receive
the most playing time of any fresh-
man next season.
Kitchen will likely compete with
junior guard Lee Humphrey for the
starting spot at shooting guard. Last
year Walsh started at that position,
b,.il the iurio:r left UF early and even-
tually signed as a free agent with the
Miami Heat.
"Kitchen's a combo guard that
can plai both positions for them.
He's also a proven i. nncr Telep
said. "He's a versatile a guy who
can play both guard positions and
defend both spots."
Other than the point i i rd com-
petition, the battle for the starting
power forward should be one of the
top stories this fall.

The Lowdown: The Gators never ad'anceO past the opening weekend
of the NC.AA Tournament behind the star trio of David Lee, Ma In ailsh
and Antlhonr Roberson. Now, all three are gone and Coach Bllv Donovan
n'mst rebuild the team. The Gators should be an up-tempo team that
suits Donur.an's Loaching style, as well as Improved defensi elv, )ut the
eanm will be vere .ou.ng and s:onrlir droughts should be expected
Al Horford should be a lock at
center, but Joakim Noah, Adrian
Moss and Chris Richard will all
compete for one starting position.
"It's all about off-season strength
training. With that group there,
strength will be important," Telep
said. "[There could be a guy] like
Ni.iah that. could make leaps and
bounds in the off-season. There's
going to be some int tetin g prac-
tice sessions to see who breaks
through."
Many experts, such as ESPN's
Andy Katz, are already picking UF
as a sleeper team in 2005-06.
"I think the talent is coming into
place," Telep said. "They've got
the young bigs they had last year
as well as Corey Brewer. Hodge
is a guy that can hopefully [give
valuable minutes] at point guard.
There's a good amount of talent in
this program and there should be
rea,.ionb'y1 hi;- expectations."

SI features Leak
By IAN FISHER
and ERIC ESTEBAN
"iL Alligator Staff Writers
Apparently, UF offensive coordinator
Dan Mullen has never heard of the Sports
Illustrated jinx.
When SI hit newsstands on Aug. 11, Chris
Leak graced the cover as an "unstoppable
player," and Mullen was nothing but excited
ab-Qut it.
"I haven't got it yet," said Mullen on Aug.
10, the first day the cover debuted on the
Internet. "I need to get the real magazine ... so
I can have him sign it for me and put it on my
wall of fame of people that I've actually met in
my life that are famous."
All kidding aside, Mullen said it was an
honor for not only Leak, but also UF.
Right there plastered on the front with
Leak is UF at No. 3 in SI's preseason poll.
Mullen said Leak won't feel any of the ad-
ditional pressure that the lofty national predic-
tion brings.
"No matter where they picked us, if they
picked us No. 1 or No. 116, the expectations
are going to be really high, so I don't think that
changes expectations for Chris," Mullen said.
This was the sixth time UF has been fea-
tured on the cover of SI. Leak's appearance
ranks UF No. 3
was regional, with Texas' Vince Young and
Southern California's Reggie Bush on the
other two covers.
DETOUR: Thanks to a tip from a certain
Bachelor, UF is one receiver richer.
After last season, former Georgia Tech
quarterback Pat Carter planned on transfer-
ring to hometown South Florida, until he met
former UF quarterback Jesse Palmer.
Carter spent the summer training with
members of the New York Giants, including
Palmer, Matt Hasselbeck and his brother Tim
Carter.
At the workouts, the sophomore's soft
hands impressed Palmer and Hasselbeck,
who influenced the former quarterback not
only to swap positions but destinations.
Carter must sit out this season due to
NCAA rules, but at practice Tuesday, he said
he is excited about his new position and op-
portunity in Meyer's offense.
"I feel like Coach Meyer has a great of-
fense," Carter said. "And he was telling me
that he could help me develop because I don't
have the experience at receiver, but I have the
speed."
FIELDTURF FIRST: The Gators practiced on
their new FieldTurf practice field for the first
time Aug. 10 due to the temporary field being
Sweet.
The Gators have spent all summer practic-
ing at the Village South Fields on the south-
west side of campus while the new turf under-
goes a $1 million renovation. .
The field is shorter than a normal football
field, but Meyer said it will be useful during
the season.
"You wish you had about another 30 yards,
but I think someone said 18 of the NFL teams
have that turf now," Meyer said. "A lot of
colleagues in the profession say it's almost at
times better than grass because you don't have
the divots."
Meyer said it was about 10 degrees hotter
on the surface, but he didn't notice.
SHIFTING THE LINE: Despite never register-
ing a start at the position to date, junior Ray
McDonald will be spending the near future
playing defensive end.
"[McDonald] is going to stay at end right
now," Meyer said. "[He's] different than [se-
nior defensive end Jeremy] Mincey, who's a
more athletic, fast guy. I kind of like the way
our first-team line looks."
The move outside opens up a spot for
junior Steven Harris at tackle. Harris, who
recorded 23 tackles and 3 sacks in 2004,
Shas continued to impress coaches after a
breakout spring.

JUMPBALL
In-State or SEC? FSU or Tennessee, writers debate UF's biggest rival
Don't even think about reading the
other side to this debate. I know. I
know. You're in college now and
every Ph.D-toting, power point-presenting
professor will tell you it's best to hear both
sides of an argument before you make your
final call.
Anyone, however, who questions that
the Seminoles are the Gators' biggest rival
should spend another year at Santa Fe
Community College before coming to UF
What makes the best rivalries? History
and the stories that become legends long
after the games are played, if you ask me.
Every year's battle with FSU adds an-
other memorable chapter to the feud. Rumor
has it that in 1997, Steve Spurrier told Doug
Johnson to fire a spiral at Bobby Bowden's
900-year-old head during warm-ups.
In 2003, even the athletics directors got
into the mix after several missed calls by
ACC officials left Gator Nation crying foul.
In 2001, when FSU's Athletics Director
Dave Hart heard of Steve Spurrier's com-
plaints against the Seminoles, he replied that
Stevie Boy could use a bedtime spanking.
Obviously, the Tennessee game is im-
portant 'for the Gators to win the SEC.
Even ESPN college football analyst Kirk
Herbstreit personally told me (name drop)
in the spring, "the match up with the Vols
will decide whether UF is a national con-
tender."
The game itself though doesn't have the
hype or emotions that the FSU game does.
I'm just wondering: Do the Gators and
Volunteers gather at the 50 yard line before
the game to fight over the home team's logo?
Nope.
What the average fan doesn't know is
that familiarity breeds contempt in sports.
Farzad Safi
Far's Side -
fsafi@alligator.org
The Gators and 'Noles
are in-state rivals who
recruit the same play-
ers year in and year
out. When they get to-
gether it's not the first
meeting for most of
them. These athletes
have been competing
against each other
longer than they have
been shaving.
Look at most of the great rivalries in
sports: Yankees vs. Red Sox, North Carolina
vs. Duke, Alabama vs. Auburn. What do
they all have in common? Two perennial
powers whose fan bases are very close on
the map to one another. It's tough for UF and
UT fans to jaw back and forth when there are
550 miles separating them.
Skeptics like to claim that the rivalry lost
some of its Fun-n-Gun when Spurrier left.
With Urban Meyer on board, I guarantee the
game will be as divisive as ever.
Meyer has molded his players to live and
play the right way since day one. Meanwhile,
FSU's starting quarterback Wyatt Sexton
proclaimed to Tallahassee police that he was
God and linebacker Ernie Sims was arrested
for beating up his girlfriend.
You only have to look at last year to see
what FSU means to the Gators. UF's disap-
pointing season had many low-lights: an
early season loss to the Vols, just the second
loss in 15 years to Georgia, and yet another
bullying by Miami in the Peach Bowl.
But you don't remember all that. You
remember a pretty good year because the
Gators defeated FSU in Tallahassee for the
first time since 1986.
You want rivalry?
When the Volunteers come to
the Swamp on Sept. 17, it will be
the most heated and meaningful game
that the Gators have had in almost five
years.
In order to explain whom UF's biggest
rival is heading into 2005, it's critical to
look at history's past mixed with the pres-
ent. It's hard to deny the passion that goes
on between the Gators and Seminoles, but
don't let far, far and away Farzad trick
you.
Florida State is a program on the de-
cline that could very well be unranked
by the time the Seminoles stroll into
Gainesville.
An unproven quarterback in Drew
Weatherford or Xavier Lee, a subpar of-
fensive line, discipline problems and a
coach so old that they don't even bother
connecting his headset on the sidelines
will lead to a down year in Tallahassee.
While the game is played late in the
season, it is still a non-conference match
up that plays no part in deciding the
Southeastern Conference race.
After Tennessee's last second victory
in 2004 in which UF's clown coach Ron
Zook let yet another one slip away, the
Volunteers have the talent, momentum
and confidence to defeat UF again. Meyer
and Sports Illustrated cover-boy Chris
Leak will try to conjure up the ghosts of
Gators past in order reclaim the Swamp
something that Ron Zook could never
really do.
Tennessee vs.
Florida is a prime
example of what cpl-
lege football is meant
to be and the rivalry
Eric Esteban is so deep that even
Eric Esteban
Tenacious E the coaching staffs
Tenacious E
eesteban@alligator.org get involved. UT
offensive line coach
Jimmy Ray Stephens
coached the Gators from 1993 to 2001, 'ut
Meyer showed two could play that game
with the hiring of C.J. Leak to the strength
staff.
After the Peyton Manning-era in which
UF thrashed the Vols each of Manning's
seasons, UT got its revenge in 1998 en
route to a national title setting up one of
the best games in the rivalry's history.
With the Vols ranked No. 2 in the na-
tion and the Gators sitting at No. 4, all
eyes from all around the country were
on Gainesville in 1999. The Gators would
win 23-21 cementing their spot in Atlanta
in December as the trash talking esca-
lated.
At that point in time, Tennessee hadn't
won on Florida Field since 1971, but the
Iceman Casey Clausen broke the streak,
leading UT to 2001 and 2003 victories at
the Swamp.
When push comes to .shove, Gator
Nation can do without an immediate trip
to Pasadena.
But the expectations each year call for
the Gators to land in Atlanta and play for
the SEC Championship.

Soccer hopes to rediscover postseason success
* SEVEN SENIORS HOPE TO LEAD
THE GATORS TO A SEC TITLE.
By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS
'Alligator Writer
sdvanness@alligator.org
While the UF soccer team may have
bowed out of the 2004 postseason with
much less grace than it would have liked,
dod't assume this translates into lessened
expectations for the upcoming season
"I'm hyped up about this year, and I
think we have all the pieces," senior goal-
keeper Jen Gardner said. "It will just be a
matter of putting the puzzle together.
"After seeing what we've done during
the off-season, I think our team stacks up
pretty tough this year," Gardner said.
"Anything less than an SEC regular sea-
son title or an SEC Tournament title will
definitely be a disappointment."
The optimism doesn't stop with the
players.
Coach Becky Burleigh expects to see
great things from her squad when they
open at home Aug. 26 against Drake.
"We're a good team, an athletic team,
and it's all going to depend on how we
come together," Burleigh said. "We al-
ways want to be one of the top teams, and
I think that we have what it takes to do so
this year."
The Gators' success in 2005 may re-
volve around how well they recover from
a disappointing conclusion to last year's
postseason.
In 2004, the Gators racked up 13 wins
in the regular-season, surging through the
SEC Tournament to defeat Tennessee for
the conference titl1.
But the team fell flat in a first-round
NCAA tournament loss to in-state rival
Central Florida.
"We were very upset with the way our
season ended," Gardner said._ "Losing in
the first round to a team we felt we could
have beaten was difficult.
"To come all that way, to win the SEC
Tournament and then to fall in game one
of the NCAA's was a bit of a let-down."
The Gators haven't had much trouble
in recent regular seasons, but after win-
ning the national title in 1998 and reach-
ing the final four in 2001, early postseason
exits have become the norm.
This year's roster will feature seven
seniors. If the Gators are to return to a
championship level, the burden may be
placed on the veterans.
"A lot of our success this season will
depend on how our seniors handle them-
selves," Burleigh said. "We have a great
class and if they can handle the responsi-
bility, they can take us a long way."
The leadership of its seniors will a be
crucial element for an offense that will
have to rely on younger and relatively
unproven names after losing its top scor-
ing threat in two-time SEC Player of the
Year Stephanie Freeman..
Coach Burleigh said she believes that
it is too early to tell who will step up to
provide an offensive threat, but that there
is plenty of talent to fill the void.
"We lost a lot of good players and a good
senior class last year, but we've replaced
them with some great players as well,"
Burleigh said. "We have a lot of depth at
forward with new and returning players.
"We've gotten some great contribu-
tions from our freshmen and younger
players in the past years, and we hope
that this year is no exception."

UF VOLLEYBALL
Collymore crucial
to Gators' offense
By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer
This summer brought the early
departures of key UF athletes
such as Matt Walsh, Anthony
Roberson, Channing Crowder and
Ciatrick Fason, but arguably UF's
most dominant team-sport athlete
will still be donning orange and
blue this season.
Already a two time All-
American volleyball player, Jane
Collymore will enter her senior
season as the key component to
the Gators' offensive attack-an
attack that is ranked eighth in
the nation, and will look to win
its 15th consecutive Southeastern
Conference title.
Of course, when you are as
physically gifted as Collymore,
the pressure seems a little less
daunting.
"Athletically, Jane is in the same
group as some of the elite athletes
we've had come through this
program," Coach Mary Wise said.
"She's a special talent because of
her jump and foot-speed."
Collymore capitalized on that
athleticism last season en route to
SEC Player of the Year honors and
All-American status. Her 604 kills
and 707.points last season both
-rank second in school history.
But while she will look.to build
upon those numbers, it is her
leadership skills that she has truly
set out to improve this year.
"I think that when I first realized
I would have to take on a leadership
role, I would always kind of see
myself as a lead-by-example type
of leader," Collymore said. "But
I have been working on becoming
more vocal, because although that's
not something that is as natural for
.me, I think it is important to the
team for me to be more vocal."
Leadership aside, it is
Collymore's ability to get high
above the net that has been driv-
ing opposing teams crazy.
"She jumps so high, you can
throw a ball up to the ceiling and
she'd go up and get it," sopho-
more setter Angie McGinnis said.
"She just hits so much higher than
most people do."
Collymore attributes most of
her success to her coaches and to
her commitment to the game.
"Coming out of high school,
I didn't have a lot of experience
under my belt at all, buf I know
that I had a lot of potential, and I
just wanted to sit back and absorb
as much as I could," Collymore
said. "I knew I always wanted to
do great things in the sport and I
had potential, it was just a matter
of getting the
right experience
and the right
instruction."
This summer,
Collymore was
selected as the
starting outside
Collymore hitter for the
U.S. Women's National Team in
the Pan American Cup, and she
aspires to make the U.S. Olympic
team once her playing days at UF
come to an end.
But for now, Collymore will
direct her focus on the upcoming
season,where the Gators will look
to recover from a hart-fought oss
to eventual National Champion
Stanford in last year's NCAA
tournament.
For a perennial powerhouse
like the Gators, the goal is al-
ways to win-a national title, and
Collymore may be the key to
achieving that goal.
"Jane has the physical ability
to dominate a match," Wise said.
"She is the type of player that can
take a team to the next level. To
be successful, you have to have a
player like that."

Urban Meyer walked off UF's
practice field like a coach that had
seen his players for exactly one day.
With the pads still noticeably ab-
sent, Meyer said there were no sur-
prises and no real progress. But for
a coach spending his first summer
in the humid swamp of Gainesville,
two-a-days weren't exactly a wel-
coming sight.
"It looked like day one. It was
thick out here, it's.one of my first
summers at.UF," said a visibly tired
Meyer. "We've got a long way to
go."
The Gators returned to practice
on Aug. 8 amid big expectations,
playing under a 'cach receiving
plenty of attention.
Still several days away from
donning pads, the Gators may not
have accomplished much in day
one. But the Gators couldn't help
but notice a fresh feeling brewing
on the field.
"Hell yeah," said safety Jarvis
Herring, when asked if Meyer's
two-a-days felt different than those
in years past. "It's all about getting
up and going. We've got a new
thing going on. Nobody's half-step-
ping."
UF's practice sessions moved to
the southwest side of campus this
season while the regular practice
field undergoes a $1 million reno-
vation.
So with a large crowd watching
from the intramural field bleachers,
all eyes were on UF's most antici-
pated position battle.
Deshawn Wynn, Skyler
Thornton and Markus Manson,
each have two weeks to show they
should be the one to replace last
year's SEC leader in rushing yards,
Ciatrick Fason.
"Even our receivers looked
heavy-legged. But Markus
Manson came out and
bounced around today. I
noticed him."
Urban Meyer
UF football coach
After leading the team in rushing
touchdowns two years ago, Wynn
went from a solid No. 2 behind
Fason early last year to an injury-
ridden player who Ron Zook ac-
cused of lacking a strong work ethic
by the end of the season.
On the first day of practice,
SMeyer said that' Wynn had a solid
summer, but rumors have swirled
throughout practice regarding
Wynn's status for opening day.
Meyer wouldn't deny or con-
firm rumors that Wynn may be sus-
pended at the start of the season.
In the end, it may not matter
because Meyer said he was really
impressed by Manson, a redshirt
freshman.
"[I liked Manson's] speed and
bounce," Meyer said on Aug. 8.
"It's heavy out here. The guys
ran this morning and they lok ed
heavy-legged. Even our receivers
looked heavy-legged..But Markus
Manson came out and bounced
around today. I noticed him."
From a physical standpoint,
Manson may be ready, but he said
he's still adjusting to the college
level.
"I want to improve on my
mental aspect of the game and be
ready on Sept. 3 when my number
gets called," Manson said.
Thornton, meanwhile, ended
up as the No. 2 back when Wynn
went out of the lineup last season.
While Wynn and Manson may
receive most of the attention,
Thornton isn't out of the picture
for the top job.
"Last year nobody really gave
me a chance, so I showed people
what I could do toward the end
of the season," Thornton said.
"Now, going into two-a-days and
going into the season, I feel very
confident."
Meyer said he won't name a
starter for several weeks.
So while the Gators still have a few
issues to work out, the players expect
Meyer to figure it out by the Sgt. 3
season opener against Wyoming.
"We've got-to create some depth
right now. When we've got more
depth, it could be something spe-
cial," Herring said. "Everybody's
going hard, and it could be a great
-season for us."
UF offers plenty of sports for fans, those looking to avoid homework
If the onslaught of orange and blue splat-
tered across campus, hasn't made you
violently ill yet, congratulations. You're on
your way to becoming a true Gators fan.
Welcome, newbies. You've just entered
the Twilight Zone, commonly referred to as
the UF sports program. Try to maintain your
composure the first Saturday you walk out
of the dorm and witness an invasion of RVs.
No need to call the Homeland Security office,
people simply treat Gators football like it's a
cross between a gladitor fight and Woodstock.
Be thankful that you arrived in Gainesville
at the right time. Unless you're a fan of under-
achieving and judging by your 1590 SAT
score and 4.2 GPA, you're probably not it's
been a bit ugly the last few seasons.
But just a year after UF became the joke
of ESPN's College Gameday and the punch-
ing bag of unheralded teams like Mississippi
State, it's suddenly hip to be a Gators fan.
New football coach Urban Meyer has
replaced Jesus as the official religious icon of
Gainesville (once again, they don't take foot-
ball lightly in this town).
Still, despite what you may have heard
from Daddy Alumnus,.it's not all about foot-
ball.
Few college basketball teams have boasted
more talent than UF throughout the '00s.
Recent postseason woes aside, Billy
Donovan and the Gators are one of the hottest
shows in town.
Try to nab a Rowdy Reptiles seat sometime
this year, because standing near courtside for
the UF-Kentucky game is just as thrilling as
any football experience.
And don't forget about college baseball.
Fresh off a trip to the
final round of -the
College World Series,
the UF baseball team
.., features more talent
than the Tampa Bay
Andrew Devil Rays. If you like
Abramson offense, college baseball
Drew's Control is your game.
aabramson@alligator.org If you're still not sat-
isfied, there are plenty
of other UF sports to fill
your fix. And don't pass up a chance to watch
Gainesville's minor league college basketball
team that plays down the road at Santa Fe.
The Saints play an up-tempo, exciting, ego-
less brand of basketball.
But remember even though you weren't
a five-star football recruit or Mr. Florida
Basketball;you, Mr. And Ms. Joe Student, can
play sports at UF
The wonderful world of sport dubs and
intramurals is the perfect solution to losing
those "freshman 15." If you don't know what
I'm talking about, you'll get it after a few-2
a.m. fast food runs.
And best of all, you can get the most in-
depth Gators' sports coverage worldwide
for FREE everyday in those beautiful orange
Alligator boxes found around campus and be-
yond. You can even find us on the weekends
at alligatorSports.org, where you can read
updated and classic stories, and even voice
your opinion on the alligatorSports message
boards.
So forget class (parents, we're just kidding
[wink-wink]), grab an Alligator and enter the
Twilight Zone at your own risk: .
N Most tickets to UF sporting
events are free of charge to
students. Only football tickets
require a fee, and you can pur-
chase these at discount rates.

He's only a redshirt freshman, but if Markus Manson continues
to perform well in practice he could be UF's starting tailback.

2, ALLIGATOR, E NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 News Today ou'll hear these words many times in the coming weeks, but we'd like to express the sentiment as well: Welcome to Gainesville. If you're coming to college here for the first time, get ready to experience the Dickensian best and worst of times, including the rain. Seriously though, Gainesville sits as the foundation of your academic future. However, there's more here than textbooks and a football team. Of course, there's a lot to be proud of in our faculty, academic programs and, most of all, us. The best crop of students in Florida. Work hard. Play hard. Or don't. It's your choice. This town caters to folks of all energy levels. This newspaper, we hope, will inform you enough to make comfortable decisions about what to do and how to live here. We inform, you decide -it's our motto. There are so many things to do in this town and around the region and not all of them may be apparent on a first glance. OK, there's no beach. But this is Florida -go in either direction for an hour, and you'll find sandy shores. We'd love to keep telling you how much there is to do in Gainesville, and how enriching your time here can be, but the next 54 pages should handle that quite well on their own. So welcome home. We've been expecting you. -MIKE GIMIGNANI AND EVA KIS Fall 2005 Alligator editors rrTr 77E7 and SHCC located on the bottomi 'I oor fthe JW Reitz Union -~ I Includes: J6 b 9I69 1# Ey -Health check of the eye U H Prescription for glasses I inoudes: Health check of the eye Eye glasses starting at IPrescription for glasss 'XContact lens fitting 0Trial contact lenses -Solution starter kit -Contact lens related follow-ups for 6 months Oakley/Nikesunglassesand prescription glasses Present this ad and get an additional 10% off! available!Also available:Nine West (prescription only) ihepatientaond other person resposibleforpaymenthas a righi to refuse to pay, cancelpayment or be reiaihisedrorpayment for any othe'erviexiinatia i ar tre at, which is to be performed as a result ofand within 72 hours ofrespoedinpsotheadvertiseret forte free, dsounted ,rredudfeereice,eo ,ai tion or trea t nt Manag Managing Ed Assist alligator INSIDE THIS ISSUE Who runs U4F?.

4, ALLIGATOR K NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 Administration continued academic improvement, more students graduating on time and increased faculty and staff support. Ta all students, Machen has a message: get involved on campus. "They're obviously talented academically," Machen said, but added that it's what students do outside of class that's important. With more than 700 organizations on campus, students have the opportunity to connect with each other through almost any interest or hobby. Soon, campus sidewalks will swell with the familiar faces of returning students and the scurrying bodies of frenzied freshmen. In much the same way, UF's administration embodies a mix of veteran employees and new leaders. Since Machen's hiring, six new vice presidents have been hired in a reorganization of UF's leadership, including Janie Fouke, UF's new provost and senior vice president. "I think, for the most part, a blend of new and continuing is the ideal situation," Machen said.

THE LEA DERS OF UF has new faces By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org Walking back to his office after a morning photo shoot, UF President Berne Machen admits that even he was a little overwhelmed by the size of the university he was elected to lead nearly two years ago. "Tlis is by far the biggest university that I've ever been around," Machen said. "It takes some getting used to." Machen, the former president of the University of Utah, recommended new students pound the pavement with a map and enough time to figure out their way around UF. After having "survived" at UF for 19 months, as he jokingly puts it, Machen said he has truly begun to understand the university. His goal for Up one year from now is on track, with plans to make the university a Top 1ll public research institution:

MONDAY AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION ALLIGATOR 5 Student leaders share agendas By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@aligator.org Student Body President Joe Goldberg said he is a Gator from snout to tail. "UF was the only place that I applied to," he said. "I knew that was where I wanted to go." He said he went to Gator Growl, UF's Homecoming pep rally, years before his time as a college student, when his sister was attending. But he didn't -come to Gainesville longing for the chance to be part of Student Government. "I really didn't know I wanted to get involved," he said. He eats, sleeps and drinks SG now, he said. "Being that voice for all the students .I don't take that lightly," he said. "I get my motivation from fighting for the students. That's what I really enjoy every day is being able to advocate for them." He said he's ready to rise to any occasion that affects the Orange and Blue. "SG is going to adapt to whatever is the issue at the time," he said. "We're not always going to get our way in the end, but at least they hear our side." The sports management senior will pocket an $8,196 salary this year. "Obviously, I don't do it for the money," he said. "We're the lowestpaid officers in the state." Goldberg said he fights for students of all shapes, sizes and shades. "I am accepting of all people," he said. "I think that diversity is extremely important." Goldberg is a member of the Black Student Union, Hispanic Student Association, Pride Student Union Student and the Jewish GovernInt Student Union. "I love talking to students," he said. "You don't have to be black to be a member of the Black Student Union. The diversity on our campus is just tremendous." Goldberg, a Miami native, said the key to success in college is learning how to manage one's interests. "Think about what you enjoy," he said. "The best thing to do is try to find somebody you can relate to. Find what your passion is and then run wild with it." He said getting involved allows students to make UF cozy despite its 1,965-acre size and 48,000-strong student body. "I think that it's important to get involved in something extracurricular," he said. "We're always looking for new students to get involved in SG." VP stacks 'em up Student Body Vice President Joyce Medina proudly-proclaims her accomplishments. She is president of the Mortar Board Honor Society at UF, among her memberships in several honors organizations. She was the 2003 Hispanic Student Association public-relations director, a staff member of Preview 2004 and hails from Gamma Eta Sorority. But the half-Cuban, half-Filipino said the transfer, early in her academic journey, from UCF to UF was a touching experience. "My sister went here," she said. "UF just had so many other options. I wanted to challenge myself more. I was very proud of getting in." Medina said she has opened the book on her responsibility to control the nearly 405SG cabinets by putting the cabinet directors' notebooks in the SG office on the third floor of the Reitz Union for all to read. "I've worked behind the scenes a lot," she said. "I was always willing to help where SG has been. I feel I've made cabinet more accessible and more accountable to (Student) Senate. I'm [in Gainesville] when everyone is on vacation."

6, ALLIGATOR N NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 Editorial So it's the first day of the rest of your life, eh? Or not. College strikes people in different ways. Whether you're a 16-year-old prodigy or an 80-yearold transfer student who's searching nobly for that elusive bachelor's degree, or anywhere in between, we at the Independent Florida Alligator welcome you to Gainesville. There's a lot to enjoy about our fair city, but also more than a few traps for anyone new to the way things work. As anyone who's caroused downtown for the first time can tell you, enough 3-for-1 specials and you'll learn the lessons of college the hard way. Most of us have learned the hard way, so in an effort to help you out on this new journey, the Alligator proudly presents: Tips & Tricks It's hard to expect new folks in town to have much impact on their academic life, but here's a big TIP: Don't go with the flow. Impress yourself on professors, administrators, anyone who might have a say in your future here. Always be polite with the employees in your college. They have a greater ability to help you along than they might lead you to believe And don't be afraid to speak up if a class appears full or you don't see credits you should have on your transcript. Students who are proactive about their education come out best in the end. There's a large number of locals here who want nothing more than to ram some culture down your throat. Our TIP: Take them up on it once in a while. Gainesville has world-class museums, theatres and other outlets of intellectual curiosity. Student Government organizations bring interesting speakers every week, along with the occasional large-scale concert. You already pay for some of this culture as a part of tuition. So it's worth it for you to take a look. Speaking of taking a look, here's an important TRICK for living in Gainesville: Take a ride around town. If you don't have a car, find someone who does and make an afternoon of exploring the city. There's a great deal of variety among different stores and venues in town and it's always good to shop around. Especially don't think that campus stores always offer competitive rates. Also, it'll get more difficult to spend time searching for a specific place once the semester starts. A TIP for those who don't like surprises, especially if you live off campus: Don't rush into signing or paying for anything. Great deals don't always stay great by the time you get home. And when the apartment complex managers suggest you fill out your move-in form, take the time to do it. You'll thank yourself at the end of the year, when you're not hit by charges you could have avoided. And perhaps the ultimate survival TRICK: Take time to enjoy yourself. We have football galore on weekends during the Fall, and Meyermania will push that to new heights. Better yet, take a day and go to Orlando -ride some roller coasters and take your mind off school. One of the greatest advantages to Gainesville is its surprisingly central location for a city in Florida. Don't let that go to waste. Follow these basic steps, and we're pretty sure your adjustment to this college town will go a lot smoother. You go, Gator.

Opinion ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions 51U4 Co tmn Big-c-ity fast food leads to revelation ince I began college, one of the things I miss the most about home and like the best about going back is the great food. Oh yeah, and seeing the people who gave birth to me, that too. As college students, we far too often accept the status quo of quick, cheap and easy. .food that is. Unfortunately, more -often than not, this doesn't equate with good, healthy meals. So when I got off the plane in New York for my grandparents' 65th wedding anniversary last week, I was more than happy to be greeted at my aunt's house by 10 chickens, a giant ham, five different types of rice and a salmon platter. My grandparents' big fat Jewish wedding anniversary could have given the similarly titled movie a run for its money. A few days later I continued the food fiesta in New York City after reacclimatizing myself to the Big Apple. "Hello, homeless-dude-sleeping-on-the-bench. How's it going, hipster-20-something-New Yorker. Nice to see you again, guy-giving-me-the-finger." Ah yes: I was home, and home equals good food. Now, good food according to my grandmother usually means a meal at one of the city's famous eateries, so when we approached what appeared to be a fast-food restaurant, I was surprised to say the least. However, I would soon discover that Better Burger was no measly fast-food joint and that its burgers were indeed better than "the big boys." My burger consisted of 1/3 lb antibiotic-and-hormonefree organic beef cooked to my liking on an all-natural sesame-seed wheat bun with organic white cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato. The combo meal included my choice of bottled water Aaron Blye instead of soda and a side of organic Blye's Eyes Better Fries spritzed with olive oil ablye@alligator.org and air-baked, not fried. I've always been skeptical of meals out of a tree-hugging hippie cookbook, but it was probably the best-tasting fast food I've ever had, and it was only about $2 more than a comparable meal at McDonald's. Unfortunately, I couldn't convince the owner to expand outside of NYC and set up shop in Gainesville, but I did come to an important realization. Although Better Burger hasn't made it to Gainesville yet, college students have an alternate means to eat quick, cheap and healthy. Looking around campus I think we can all agree the University of Florida has one of the best student bodies in the nation -but roughly 60 percent of Americans are either overweight or obese, and there isn't a college student in America who hasn't heard of the freshman 15. I know you might think your cooking skills are limited to grilling chicken on the George Foreman grill, but cooking is as easy as following directions -and it's cheap. If you can color inside the lines, you can make chicken parmigiana, with a little bit of practice. And if you're eating cheap pizza topped with sausage that physically resembles hamster poop or a sandwich, possibly served somewhere on campus, that consists of reflective roast beef or gelatinous turkey meat, then you might want to take those items off your personal menu. Instead of spending your hard-earned dollars on unhealthy junk food, take to the kitchen or check out some of the great local restaurants scattered throughout Gainesville.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION 9 ALLIGATOR, 9 UF campus legends have developed over a century By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Contributing Writer With almost 100 years of history, UF's campus combines diverse and sometimes avant-garde architecture with distinctive art and wild stories. One of the more recognizable but lesser-known structures on campus is Alachua, or, as it is more widely called, the "French Fries." The yellow-painted aluminum sculpture of self-supporting rectangular tubes stands just west of the Marston Science Library. UF College of Fine Arts spokeswoman Sarah McNeill said she thought the structure got its nickname soon after it was built in 1988 by sculptor John Henry as a commission by the Florida Board of Regents, the longtime governing body of the state university system. Century Tower was built in 1953 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the university and was dedicated to UF students killed in World War I and II. Its architecture landed a portion of campus' north side on the National Register of Historic Places. Professor Susan Tate with the College of Design, Construction and Planning said it was "unusual" to have a part of a major public university listed on the register. The "collegiate gothic" style of red bricks and vaulted entrances was used with the first buildings, the On now-residential Buckman Campus and Thomas halls, and other earlier buildings, she said. Newer buildings present, if not always the form, then new interpretations of that original style. Contrary to what some may say, however, Tate said it is not likely the interlocking Thomas, Fletcher and Sledd halls in the historic district were meant to form a UF pattern. As with any proper place of history, UF's campus also has its share of legends, including the ghost of Old Steve the cook. When radiators inside Thomas Hall rattled, students attributed it to the ghost of the cook who worked there when Thomas and Buckman housed all university facilities, even the cafeteria, University Archivist Carl Van Ness said. Freshmen should also be thankful that certain "hazing" rituals have fallen by the wayside. When the newest underclassmen came to UF in the days before coeducation, they were told by their elders to speak to everyone, walk around the Plaza of the Americas rather than through it and wear beanies until the end of the Fall semester unless they performed certain rituals, Van Ness said. One ritual included defeating the sophomores at a game of capture the flag. Years later, a way to lose the beanie was if UP beat Georgia at the Florida-Georgia football game. Relatedly, as noted in the alumni assoAndy Apicella / Alligator The sculpture Alachua outside the Marston Science Library, commissioned by the Florida Board of Regents and built by John Henry in 1988, is better known as the "French Fries" among students who walk past the imposing structures. ciation magazine UF Today, Gatorade was invented at UF in 1965 because football players could not practice sufficiently in the Florida heat. I East of Turlington Plaza stands Century Tower, built to commemorate the UF alumni who took part in both World Wars, dedicated on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the college that became UF, Tate said. Graduate instructor Danielle Dirks said she remembers a story about the tower when she first came as an undergraduate to UF. Supposedly, a brick would fall from the tower for every virgin who graduated from UF. But the Spring 2002 edition of Orange and Blue Online carries another, more chilling story about rumors of at least one suicide off-one of the two Beaty Towers, the twin apartment-style residences on the south side of campus. Tom Petty allegedly wrote the song "American Girl" because of this suicide, but he has not confirmed it, according to the article. Catrice Ackerman, a desk assistant at the residence hall, said most of the windows of the towers cannot be opened, though she had heard a story involving a girl who committed suicide because she received a bad grade. Students can take this piece of advice from the 1932-33 version of the "P Book," an old university student handbook: "You can get a lot of fun out of being a freshman if you but will."

10, ALLIGATOR 0 NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Contributing Writer Student activities at UF go beyond meetings to pirates, weapons, portfobos, culture and service in more than 500 ways. Take the Florida Picaroons, a social and service club formed at UF this year. Officers go by nautical titles such as admiral and commodore, according to the club's Web site. Club President Carlo Petrillo said he hopes the group eventually launches a bottle-boat regatta, in which teams would compete by building boats out of milk jugs. Any funds the group raises would go to ocean-preservation organizations, and the club plans to take part in road and other nature clean-ups. Florida Fencing has about 40 members, though it can swell to more than 100 at each year's first meeting, last year's president Kelly Crandall said. Students can compete or just practice as a recreational member. As studentsbecome more involved, they are encouraged to purchase their own equipment, which costs about $200 for a basic set, Crandall said, as sports clubs can't charge participants dues. Stud ent The team does have t limited equipment for -them to -us she said, adding that the club offers social, leadership and travel opportunities. Fencers can practice as much or as little as they want; attendance is taken only at the veteran level, Crandall said. Last year about four weekly practices were held.

Panhellenic Council will recruit this week starting Tuesday for its 16 sororities, followed by Interfraternity Council recruitment for its 23 fraternities during the week of Aug. 28. While PC and IFC are the only two out of the four Greek councils on campus hosting official recruitment events during the Fall semester, both take different approaches to the process. IFC officials refer to their recruitment as "very informal in nature." Students looking to join can fill out the application on the IFC Web site and attend a Rush Forum on Aug. 28 at 6 p.m. in the Reitz Union Ballroom B. Recruitment begins the same night. PC will hold its mandatory orientation Aug. 16 at 5 p.m., with recruitment starting the next day at 9 a.m. IFC Vice President of Membership Chris Bucciarelli said students should come in with an open mind, visit a variety of chapters and be sure to ask questions.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15,2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION M ALLIGATOR, 11 New students get stuffed E OUT-OF-STATE TUITION IS ESPECIALLY AFFECTED. By STEPHEN MAGRUDER .Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org Being new to UF will be slightly more expensive in the Fall due to tuition criteria changes based on a student's status as "new" or "continuing" that now help determine how much he or she pays. Students already pay different tuition rates as undergraduates and graduates as well as Florida residents versus out-of-state students, but their time -or lack thereof -spent at UF now too will factor into the equation. "This is a first time ever," said Stuart Hoskins, senior associate controller at UF. He said officials at the Office of the University Registrar and the Office of the Provost largely-were behind the changes. A memo released July 15 listed new students as either undergraduates starting in Fall, graduate students seeking new degrees, non-military students re-enrolling after more than two semesters and non-degree seeking students. Continuing students must have been admitted before Fall 2005 and enrolled in either Spring or Summer 2005. Hoskins estimated UF received about $197 million in tuition from its 48,000 students for the fiscal year ending June 30, meaning the average student pays about $4,100 per year. The biggest increases in tuition occurred in graduate professional programs such as medical, dental and veterinary medicine, where new students will pay hundreds of dollars more than continuing students. Out-of-state tuition for dental students will cost an estimated $43,000, about $9,000 more than last year. Student Medical and veterinary mediif_ cine tuition will see increases in the thousands of dollars. Both new and continuing Florida residents will pay $103.12 per undergraduate credit hour -a 4.7-percent increase from last year. However, new non-residents will pay more than $574 per undergraduate credit hour, which is about $20 more than their continuing counterparts and almost $50 more than the same students paid last year. Florida residents entering graduate school at UF will pay $259.75 or about 8 percent more than those already enrolled, who will pay $239.59 per credit hour. New and continuing out-of-state graduate students both will pay about $890 per credit. Halls sport new looks By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org Murphree Hall will open its doors to residents once again this Fall after enduring $10 million in renovations. The residence hall, which has been partially closed for more than a year, has new furniture, new paint, updated equipment and a virtual necessity in Florida: air-conditioning. Second-year engineering student Melissa Ackert said the renovations helped persuade her and her roommate to leave Broward Hall and its air-conditioning window units for Murphree. "We heard they got central A/C put in, and that was a big factor," she said. The project was the largest, but by no means the only remodeling that took place under the UF Department of Housing & Residence Education in preparation for the new school year. "We've done thousands of renovations," said Sharon Blansett, assistant director of housing. Reid Hall received new windows and sprinklers and will offer practice rooms for artists from the College of Fine Arts. North Hall also received sprilders and bathroom renovations, and landscaping at the Tolbert Area is expected to increase wireless Dunkel Intemet access. UF housing director Blansett also announced an upgrade in residence hall cable television to about 70 channels of digital TV The housing department's partnership with Cox Communications also will allow students to order services like Pay-Per-View for themselves without charging their roommates.

12, ALLIGATOR M NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 Before Your Big Party This Weekend, Read This: ALachua County Sheriff's OfficeOPERATION S.T.U, D.E.N.T. Select ively Target Underage Dri nki ng, Excessive Noise and Traf f ic vi oLati ons There has been a noticeable increase in the number of large gatherings and celebration events occurring at apartment complexes and private residences within Alachua County, especially during the U of F football season. Coupled with these large gatherings is an increase in thle call load andSheriff's Office responses to address the particular problems that have been associated with these events. Florida laws and Alachua County Ordinances do not prohibit social gatherings and celebration events, but the Alachua County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) has a responsibility to protect the rights of those adversely affected by them. The Alachua County Sheriff's Office would like to ensure that homeowners as well as renters share in the wonderful quality of life that we have in Alachua County. This ad was a developed to provide you with an understanding of some of the laws and ordinances that are applicable in Alachua County and how you can become a more responsible host or participant at one of these events. To address these and other related issues, the ACSO has special patrols of Deputy Sheriffs to Selectively Target Underage Drinking, Exvessive Noise and Traffic violations, OPERATION S.T.U.D.E.N.T. These special patrols have been organized to handle situations involving problems associated with alcohol, noise, under aged drinking and related violations. Celebrations and Events: Noise Disturbances State Statute prohibits drunken, noisy or disorderly conduct that disturbs the public. Furthermore, Alachua County Ordinances prohibit excessive noise from devices, such as horne sound systems, car stereos, televisions, vehicles and other sources. Any of these exceeding decibel limits measured by a noise meter, plainly audible to the investigating Deputy or to the point of disturbing any person who owns or occupies property in the neighborhood is in violation of the law. The Alachua County Sheriff's Office takes a proactive stance in handling complaints of loud noise and disturbances. To maintain a high quality of life in Alachua County, violations of County Ordinances and State Statutes, depending on the severity, may result in a citation, a notice to appear or physical arrest. Operation S.T.U.D.E.N.T. takes a very proactive approach to resolving complaints, associated with these violations, in part by actively patrolling assigned areas to monitor such activities so they do not get out of hand. Tips For the Responsible Host. Never allow anyone under the age of 21 to consume alcohol at your function. As the host you will be charged for this violation. Additionally, there may be other civil liabilities issue attached to such violations. Make sure your guests are not parking in no parking zones, blocking driveways, or trespassing on private property Keep guests to a manageable number and within' the parameters of applicable'fire department occupancy codes. Consider announcing your plans to your neighbors ahead of time. Conclude your gathering at a reasonable hour. Remember that Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is deadly and carries heavy penalties. Provide your guests with a ride, if intoxicated. If a Deputy Arrives at Your Gathering. It is the Deputy's responsibility to contact the host/hostess of the gathering and inform them of the nature of the complaint. When a Deputy arrives be cooperative. The host/hostess and guests should adhere to the instructions of the Deputy If'compliance is iet and no other laws or ordinances are being violated, there will-be no further contact by the Sheriff's Office. But repeat complaints or violations will result in closing down the gathering ard the host/hostess will be charged with a criminal violation. Remember, celebrate responsibly and have a good time, but be respectful of your neighbors ard obey the law; State Statute 316.3045 Operation of Radios or Other Mechanical Sound Producing: Devices It is unlawful to operate or occupy a motor vehicle on a street or highway with amplified sound produced by a radio, tape player, or other mechanical sound device from within the motor vehicle so that the sound is plainly audible at 100 feet or more; or is louder than necessary for the convenient hearing by persons inside the vehicle in areas surrounding churches, schools or hospitals State Statute 562AI(1) Alcohol Beverages Possession under 21 jt is unlawful for anyone under 21 to possess an alcohol beverage unless employed undor the auspices of statute 532.13 andactiIg in that scope of their employment State Statute 856.11 Disorderly Intoxication It is unlawful to be intoxicated and endanger the safety of another person or properly and unlawul to be intoxicated or,"drnk any alcoholic beverage in a public place or upon any public conveyance and cause a public disturbance.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION M ALLIGATOR, 13 M THE UNIVERSITY NOW OFFERS MP3 FILES OF CAMPUS NEWS. By GRACE SINCLAIR Alligator Contributing Writer UF students and faculty are now hstening to more than music on their MP3 players. Podcasting, a form of downloading audio files onto an MP3 player, has come to UF and garnered a successful response from the public. UF'snewsWeb site,http:/ /news.ufl.edu, offers audio files for download that feature news stories and speeches. Joe Hice, associate vice president of marketing and public relations, said the success of podcasting at UF has exceeded expectations. In its first week, more than a thousand people downloaded audio files onto their MP3 players from UF. "We are very excited it started off so strong," he said. "It is a good sign of things to come." Professors' lectures could be podcasted for students who miss a class, said Steve' Orlando, associate director of news and public affairs at U. The future of podcasting also could include sporting events and concerts, he said. Orlando said he has received positive feedback from podcast users and has had no complaints of technical problems. "Walking around on campus, I have a lot of time. I think it (podcasting) would be really convenient." Kristine Festa UF psychology junior The most popular download was a speech by former Sen. Bob Graham, he said. Several hundred people downloaded this speech alone. Kristine Festa, a junior psychology major, said she plans to download the speeches she can not attend. "Walking around on campus, I have a lot of time," she said. "I think it would be really convenient." SEE PODCASTING, PAGE 20 ByJUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@aIIigator.org Engineering junior Christian Stober said he paid almost $500 for textbooks last Fall, when he bought most of them at Gator Textbooks. The next semester, he got creative. He borrowed one book from a friend, bought one new, shared one between two classes and bought two directly from other students. He spent at most $250, he said. "Everyone wins when students sell their books to each other," Stober said. On average, UF collects $4,100 of each student's money per year in tuition. Student Government snatches $8.64 for every credit hour. And depending on students' majors and spending savvy, book vendors can take hundreds more of their dollars each semester. However, there are several online forums through which UF students can sell each other textbooks, including the honors listserv, gatorbuyback.com and campusshelf.com, which currently lists 143 books. Unlike the bookstores, these third parties don't collect anything from the students who use them. Local bookstores buy students' used books, but the UF UF Bookstore, 'for AcademgCS example, will buy a student's calculus textbook for 36 percent of the price for which they will sell it used. If a new edition has outdated the book, the bookstore most likely will not buy it back. In a throwback to high school, an alternative service from Tutoring Zone allows students to rent their textbooks. Students can order books during the first week of school for $44.99 or less and return them at the end of the SEE TEXTBOOKS, PAGE 20 Wyoming Louisiana Tech Tennessee Georgia Vanderbilt Florida State SEC Championship Deadline: Wed., Aug. 31 Deadline: Wed., Sept. 7 Deadline: Wed., Sept. 14 Deadline: Wed., Oct. 26 Deadline: Wed., Nov. 2 Deadline: Mon., Nov. 21 Deadline Wed., Nov. 30th *46fis) 514 v:*I 04mmo REACH YOUR TARGET MARKET BEFORE THE GAME!!! .when you advertise in 2005 September 2 September 9 September 16 October 28 November 4 November 23 December 2 5% Discount For any advertisement that ran on the week immediately preceding Kickoff Edition and is picked up (no charges).

14, ALLIGATOR U NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15,2005 T s l rerUF By JUSTIN RICHARDS Aligator Writer jrichards@aligator.org Who needs downtown Gainesville, with its watered-down liquor and too-loud music? There's enough clean fun on campus to make forgoing hedonism tempting. For starters, there is that house full of 100,000 bats. It turns out bats just live in caves because they can't afford real estate. Constructed in 1991, the St. Lucie Bat House at UF accommodates bats displaced from the former dark alcoves of the track and tennis stadiurms: It is located on the west side of campus on Museum Road, across from Lake Alice. Wait until sundown and the bats swarm outdoors to eat bugs that would otherwise eat the denizens of UF's campus. History junior Megan Watts said she's been to the bat house several times. Sheila Jones and her 4-year-old daughter, Chelsea, look at an identification guide at the Florida Museum of Natural History Butterfly Rainforest on Thursday. The butterfly rainforest has a walking trail of a 6,400 square-foot screened outdoor enclosure that includes subtropical trees and plants. -LittlIra ste of fI!umi 1e libelval-l 352.371.14145A 1 1 1702 W. Wniv. Ave. F2 Hours I rien-i 11am -1pm Sat 12pm -11 pm sun 12pmn -10pm "People go and they're like, 'Oh yeah, bats, whatever,' but then freaking like 12 bajillion bats jump out and go flying," she said. "It's pretty 'like whoa."' Across the street are trails that wind through the wooded wilderness around Lake Alice, one of several such areas throughout campus. Graduate research assistant Joanna Reilly-Brown attributed this to Gainesville's oasis-like location. "It's a big city in the middle of the country," said Reilly-Brown, a lifelong Gainesville resident. Heading west from the bat house yields some prettier wingflappers at the Florida Museum of Natural History. The museum's Butterfly Rainforest houses approximately 2,000 butterflies of about 60 species. Admission to the museum is free with a Gator 1 Card, but the Butterfly Rainforest charges students $6.50. Thursday nights are Museum Nights for card-carrying UF students. The museum is open late, and there is often live music and free food catered by a local restaurant. The Butterfly Rainforest is usually excluded from Museum Nights, but visitors can explore many strata of time and wildlife in the rest of the museum, including a navigable Florida cave with dripping rock formations. Another popular "night" on campus is Friday night at the Reitz Union. The Gator Nights event includes extreme bowling, free movies and food, as well as always-changing live entertainment.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION U ALLIGATOR, 15 Student Activities Center in Reitz Union features complete club listings CLUBS, from page 10 Anthony Dispenziere, past president of the club and current board member. The club instructs more than 100 students on how to invest in stocks, bonds and mutual funds, and offers advice regarding all matters of investing, he said. The group also makes comiections with local business leaders, and Dispenziere said his group hopes to bring in speakers from major companies. A current endeavor of the club is the Investment Challenge, a year of weekly meetings where members present investment strtegies, he said. Students are allocated $100,000 in virtual money and "invest" it. The most lucrative investors win prizes, such as a real $100 gift certificate, but only members who make at least half of club meetings are eligible. Dues are $10 per semester because Student Government doesn't fund the club, Dispenziere said. Some of the larger groups on campus are the Jewish Student Union, the Black Student Union, the Asian American Student Union and Recurso. The Jewish Student Union serves the UF campus and its approximately 7,000 Jewish students as primarily a social club, said Bennie Cohen, program director at Hillel, UF's Jewish student center. It offers an Israeli Dancing group and Gators for Israel, which educates students about Israeli issues. The Asian American Student Union's approximately 300 members host cultural events "for everyone to be aware of Asian American experiences in the [United States]," club President Sandy Chiu said. It hosts Asian American Kaleidoscope Month in November and will have an assembly with mostly dance performances Sept. 1, she said.

16, ALLIGATOR U NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 Gainesville leaders seek student input By ALEJANDRA CANCINO Alligator Contributing Writer j Some see them as their best friends; others don't know about them or simply don't care. But the decisions of Gainesville's seven commissioners affect everyone in this city. Among other things, they are in charge of setting the tax rate on properties that determines rent, passing the city's fiscal budget for everything from roads to festivals and approving ordinances and resolutions, like the 1999 anti-rave law that set the closing time for bars and clubs at 2 a.m. Of the seven commissioners, four are elected by their respective districts into which the city is divided. As the population of Gainesville boomed, two at-large commissioners elected by the entire city were appointed. The mayor is the commission's seventh member. The four commissioners by district are Chuck Chestnut (1), Ed Braddy (2), Jack Donovan (3) and Craig Lowe (4). The two commissioners elected at-large are Warren Nielsen and Rick Bryant. Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan ran for her post in 2004 after serving as a city commissioner for six years. Since her election, Hanrahan has been working toward maintaining and improving the quality of life in Gainesville by creating beautification, recreation and redevelopment programs to make the city more attractive for students, professors and visitors, programs she plans to continue, she said. t)INTY CM ISO Holding a bigger plate County scope larger than UF By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer iewis@amigator.org Although relatively few UF students are involved in the local politics of Gainesville and the rest of Alachua County, the Alachua County Commission is constantly working toward its goals to create a better living environment for both students and permanent residents. "[The commission] should be able to accurately facilitate the university's objectives and standards," County Commissioner Lee Pinkoson said in a past Alligator report. "We need to remember that [students] are an instrumental part of Alachua County." In addition to Gainesville, Alachua County also encompasses neighboring towns such as Newberry, Archer, Micanopy and Waldo. All areas are represented in the commission, whose members each hail from one of the county's five districts and meet in the County She is also an advocate of increasing the cohnnunication between the city and UF students, and has set as a goal for the next school year to "help ensure that young people are safe and responsible in the use of alcohol." Like Hanrahan, most city commissioners believe .in making Gainesville a more prosperous city in all its sectors, but they have unique visions as to how to achieve those goals. Chestnut is working to improve low-income housing, targeting his efforts of Gainesville City bringing ecoCOMMiSS11l nomic development to the east side of the city, an issue that has been at the top of his agenda since he was elected in 2000. Donovan, the newest commissioner after defeating incumbent Tony Domenech in an April runoff election, said he believes that initiatives to discourage binge drinking are necessary and advocates umification within the city. Lowe's focus is on the environment, minority rights and redevelopment programs and he said he wants his incumbents to be more aware of the local government. Nielsen, a Vietnam veteran and a recipient of two Bronze Stars in 1971, has had beautification plans, environmental protection, the economy and social equity on his agenda since he was elected in 2000. Bryant also is seeking equity, working to close the development gap between east and west Gainesville. Administration Building in downtown Gainesville. The five county commissioners by district are Mike Byerly (1), Lee Pinkoson (2), Paula DeLaney (3), Cynthia Moore Chestnut (4) and Rodney Long (5). Although all five commissioners identify themselves as Democrats, their backgrounds and advocacy issues vary. Long is a devoted advocate of homeless issues, recently spending two days living on the streets of Gainesville to gain a firsthand view of life as a homeless person. "People making decisions don't understand the problem because they're making decisions based on misinformation, fear and politics," Long said of.the insight he gleaned in a Spring Alligator report. He is the first black to serve on both the city and county commissions and owns a bail bonds agency. Byerly, a graduate of Buchholz High School in Gainesville, is another proponent of increasing the commission's involvement in local student affairs. "The university does so much for the surrounding community," he has said. "Cooperation is really key." Free! Yours with any Clinique purchase of2150or more.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION M ALLIGATOR, 17 BrIng on the grub: Many options for hungry students By STEPHANIE GARRY .Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@aligator.org With more than 25 places to eat on campus, it's no mystery as to where that fabled freshman 15 comes from. First-time Gators, with the newfound freedom of declining balance in hand, find themselves in a fast-food heaven to trump even the best-endowed interstate exit. The only hitch is that you have to use cash or declining balance on your Gator 1 Card -and there are no free refills. In the Reitz Union, you'll find Wendy's, Taco Bell, Subway and hordes of people during lunch hour. There's also home cooking at Home Zone, Italian at Capeesh, ice cream, coffee and a Pan-Asian noodle and sushi bar. The student union is not only the most popular on-campus eatery, but also has the best hours. Wendy's and Subway are almost always open when you need them. If you prefer to "eat mor chikin," walk across the Reitz Union lawn to the Hub, the old bookstore that's awaiting a makeover to become a technology lab. There you'll find Chick-fil-A, $4 smoothies from Zia Juice and Einstein Bros. Bagels. The small eating area in the Hub turns into a feeding frenzy around lunch, so if your appetite's better when the line's short and the volume's lower, check out the Racquet Club on Fletcher Drive. Here you'll find a mini Burger King, coffee, a Boar's Head deli, sushi, salad and delicious cheesesteak sandwiches. This is also home to the Gator Dining Services office, where students can manage their declining balance or meal plan accounts. Fast food chains aren't the only popular option for freshmen. Many newcomers, especially those living close to the two dining centers near Broward Hall and the Tolbert Area, buy meal plans for their first year. I The unlimited plan offers a 54-percent discount on the normal price of eating at a dining center, but that's only if you eat four meals a day, according to a Gator Dining brochure. The plans are not right for everyone, fitting big eaters best, and students should consider taking advantage of the 10-day grace period beginning Aug. 16 to see if their meal plans work for Student them. Life Some students regret their meal plan choice because they find they don't use all of their weekly meals and end up paying for food they didn't want or didn't eat. Lydia Brooks, a fifth-year political science major, advised freshmen to opt for declining balance instead of the meal plan. She would have had to eat at least 10 or 14 meals a week to get her most out of the $1,200 or $1,400 those plans cost, she wrote in an e-mail. "I just didn't want to eat that much food, that often," Brooks wrote. "Do you know how many Subway sandwiches or Java City cappuccinos I could have gotten for that? I was furious when I realized what a waste of money it was." Twelve hundred dollars would buy roughly 300 6-inch subs or 400 cappuccinos. Students can transfer the value of their meal plan into a declining balance account during the grace period in the Gator Dining Services office. Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff Subway employee Courtney Hill prepares a sandwich in the Reitz Union Food Court on Wednesday. During the Fall and Spring semesters, Subway constantly has a line of customers extending outside the cafeteria. If the traditional option of paying $6 wave nestled between snack machines on a meal for all-you-can-eat buffets or fried Turlington Plaza. chicken doesn't fit your fancy, the UF Starving students should keep an eye campus almost always has a solution for out for free lunch on Turlington Plaza or the stingy or resourceful student.

18, ALLIGATOR U NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 Parking problerns grow durin busy Fall semester N UF HAS 24,000 SPACES TO SERVE ALMOST 70,000 DAILY VISITORS. By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org There just isn't enough Swamp for every Gator to claim territory at the same time. Approximately 48,000 students and 11,000 faculty members at UF must share 24,000 parking spaces in 13 garages. And the number of slots is not likely to rise for the next three years. Assistant Vice President for Administration and Finance Bob Miller said that while UF's master plan calls for new parking garages, UF's Transportation and Parking division will not be able to afford them until 2007-08. "We are not in any stage where we're getting ready to build one," he said. "We don't get any state money for parking." Miller said on any given day during the Fall and Spring, there are between 65,000-70,000 students, faculty, staff and guests on campus, including special events and Shands at UF. "Amazingly enough there is always student parking places," he said. "They might not be where students would want them to be. Students don't come to campus every day, and when they do come, they don't leave their car here all day." Students must purchase a decal to park legally on campus. In October 2003, 3,558 Red 3 decals, which are for on-campus students who have fewer than 50 credits, were sold for 3,101 All Red or All Decal spaces, according to parking services. In the same period, Red 1 decals, which are available to students living on campus who have completed at least 60 credit hours, were oversold by 106 percent. For 800 Red-designated spaces, 1,653 decals were in effect. Commuter decals,. which are sold to offcampus students with 110 credits, fared worse at an oversell rate of 125 percent. "If you want a decal, we'll sell you a decal," Miller said. Student decals cost $98 annually or $49 per semester, except for medical students and motorcyclists. Miller said freshmen living off campus may be more likely to break the guidelines. "If they give themselves enough time, it's not inevitable that a freshman gets a parking ticket," he said. "A number do Student because they don't plot out their Life route. With proper planning, they can avoid any tickets." Parking citations are typically $20 and go into a Student Traffic Court fund, which aids in constructing more sidewalks, lighting and other necessities around campus. Miller said.students need to recognize that Fall is more congested than Summer. "The first few weeks are hectic for freshmen," he said. "You need to be prepared to leave earlier and to schedule yourself a little extra time. You might add 30-40 percent on that time in the beginning of Fall because it's going to be a lot busier." Miller said despite the traffic, there is a solution -Gainesville's Regional Transit System. "I think that if you live off campus, there's a bus stop close by and an RTS service that is going to get you to campus," he said. Gainesville's mass-transit system is the fourth largest city transportation network in Florida. The extensive campus service is funded by the Transportation Fee, which is included in tuition. Students may ride RTS buses throughout Gainesville for "free" by presenting their Gator 1. Student Body President Joe Goldberg lived in Rawlings Hall when he was a freshman in Fall 2002, and during that time he said it was difficult to park his car on campus. "When I moved off campus, I started using the bus more and more," he said. But he added, "I don't think anyone will everbe satisfied with the system. Parking is always going to be an issue here." 5bs of Whey.$29.00 Free Workout with this ad!

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION M ALLIGATOR, 19 By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer Ilewis@aligator.org Like many other Florida high school seniors, Jorie Scholnik often felt pressured by college stress and was anxious to receive her admission decisions from several schools. Instead of waiting by her mailbox for a response, UF's efforts to expand the use of Internet technology meant Jorie was able to learn of her Summer B acceptance online. "I found out probably about a month before the certificate was mailed to me, and it was definitely relieving," she said. "It's nice to know you have a place to go for next year.' In recent years UF has been working to increase usage of online technology in several departments, including Admissions, Housing, Transportation and Parking Services, and the University Registrar's Office. Scholnik, who is now a sophomore at UF, said she also has used Internet technology to avoid long lines of students to obtain parking decals at the Reitz Union. "E-mail obviously saved a ton of postage costs and staff time." Sharon Blansett Assistant housing director "I ordered my decal early online, just so it's one less thing you have to waste time on," she said. "It was really helpful, because I didn't have to wait with everyone else and could just go ahead and buy my textbooks instead." There are no additional fees attached to placing Internet decal purchases, and students who order online may pick up their decals between Aug.17 and Aug. 26 at the UF Bookstore. In addition to ordering parking decals and receiving admission decisions via the Internet, students living in residence halls can place online service requests through the Housing Automated Work-request Kiosk. This year, in another stride to increase Internet usage, the housing department began notifying residence hall students of their roommate assignments via e-mail. "We have 7,552 students in residence halls, soe-mail obviously saved a ton of postage costs and staff time," Assistant Director of Housing Sharon Blansett said. By next year Blansett said her department hopes it can send out residence hall agreements, the equivalent of off-campus lease contracts, by e-mail as well. "We've got our fingers crossed, but it looks good," she said. As technology usage expands, so does the importance of offering Intemet-based resources. For example, the Integrated Student Information System is utilized by all UF students to pay fees, register for classes and view academic transcripts, among other tasks. Most dorms 40+ years old HOUSING, from page 11 To prevent public access to residence halls, swipe cards given to residents must be used to enter the building as well as the floor where residents live. "Just to get to my room, I had to go through three locks," Ackert said. Weather damage also is on the minds of housing staff following heavy winds and rain sustained in 2004 from Tropical Storms Frances and Jeanne. Despite minor water damage in Beaty Towers and reports of mold in Jennings Hall, no one was injured in the residence halls and power was not lost during the storms. Ackert, who lived in Broward Hall during the storms, said she felt very safe. "Everyone else lost power," she said, adding that of all her friends, only those living on campus had electricity. Of UF's 24 residence halls for single students, Thomas Hall is the oldest still in use, having opened in 1906. The majority of UF's residence halls opened in the '50s and '60s, and the Honors Residential College at Hume Hall, containing classrooms as well as bedrooms, On opened Fall 2002. camp"l s Varying floor plans among buildings as well as the number of occupants per room dictate rental rates. The average single room cost is about $1,900 per semester, including furniture, utilities, Intemet access and general maintenance and custodial services. The price drops to about $1,750 per person with two students sharing a room.

Festa hopes the podcasting trend will spread to other areas of UP. "I think it would be great to see it in the classrooms," she said. Orlando said UF is the first state university in Florida to offer podcasting. In the Fall, the weekly updates also will be posted as audio files, he said. The audio files can be accessed for free by anyone with a computer and MP3 player, he said. Orlando said UF chose the new form of communication because it was inexpensive, quick and easy. "It is a good and growing way to reach a lot of people," he said. TEXTBOOKS, from page 13 semester. Ordering information is available at tutoringzone.com/ tzlibrary.asp. Tutoring Zone Library Director Jessica Diehl said the service dehvers the next day and can provide almost any book a student requests. "It's just a way to get away from the whole racket of buying a book for 150 bucks and selling it back for 20," Diehl said. Diehl said Tutoring Zone rarely re-loans the same book, so it typically breaks even. "Mostly it's not for profit," she said, "It's just goodwill because the textbook industry is screwing people over." The disparity of book prices shows in the difference between a new "Calculus: Early Transcendentals" textbook, which costs $150.75 at the UF Bookstore, $144.75 at the Florida Book Store, $145 at Gator Textbooks and $129.35 at T.I.S. College Bookstore. Amazon.com sells the book for $80 in "like new" condition and claims to ship in one to two business days. Stober recommended buying the international editions of textbooks, which are illegal to sell in bookstores but can be found online at sites like Amazon.com and eBay's Half.com. He said these editions cost half as much as the standard copies. Resources like these are especially helpful to hard-science majors, who typically spend hundreds of dollars per semester. Some liberal arts majors, on the other hand, can get by with less than $100. Matt Chamoff, a public relations and English junior, said he spent between $60 and $70 on novels for his English classes last Spring. "It's better because even if you buy 10 books for the class, usually they're only six, seven bucks each," Chamoff said. He said he prefers physical bookstores to online services because they are accessible for quick purchases and refunds. "If you buy [the books] on Monday, drop the class on Tuesday, what are you going to do with them?" Chamoff said. But students of various majors 51b. o Whiy.$29.00 Free Workout with this ad!

"I thought there were enough resources that I didn't need it." When it comes to buying books on campus, students can't always shop around, as many teachers order books exclusively to certain stores. Kenneth Kidd, the associate graduate coordinator for the English department, said the majority of English teachers order books to independent bookstores, such as Goering's.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION 0 ALLIGATOR, 21 GREEK LIFE Independent report gives answers to Greek issues By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer kcraig@alligator.org Freshmen should expect an improved Greek "community" at UF this Fall thanks to a nearly $5,000 analysis of UF's Greek system commissioned by the Division of Student Affairs. Vice President of Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin said she decided UF's Greek system needed a closer look because of "concerns about some of the behaviors I had seen and behaviors that had come to my attention." "I wanted to better understand what was going on," Telles-Irvin said. According to the analysis, "what was going on' were issues including safety problems in chapter houses, a lack of development in public relations and problems with determining. Homecoming pairings of chapters. Ron Binder and his assistant, Damien Duchamp, of Bowling Green State University were brought to UF to conduct the analysis. Binder has more than 20 years' experience with Greek affairs. "These are experts in the field," Telles-Irvin said. "They've seen the best, and they've seen the worst, and I wanted them to give us a gauge to where we are because we want to be the best." Binder said he found that everyone within the Greek community realized there were areas in need of change and included 15 recommendations for improvement in his analysis. Along with Duchamp, he met with focus groups comprised of UF faculty and members of the Greek community. One of the most pressing issues Binder said he found was the condition of Greek housing. He said safety in the house was the biggest concern, and "the quality of housing was not good and, in some cases, incredibly poor." "These are experts in the field. They've seen the best, and they've seen.the worst, and I wanted them to give us a gauge to where we are because we want to be the best." Patricia Telles-Irvin vice president of student affairs The analysis referred to some chapter houses as "inadequate, unsafe, out-of-date and generally unattractive with few exceptions." Another topic arising among the focus groups was the Greeks' relationship with the Alligator and the boycott launched by fraternities and sororities against the paper to counter what they perceived as mainly negative press. The analysis stated that, "By their own admission, the strategy has been largely unsuccessful," adding "there is a disproportionate amount of attention given to the negative and less to the positive" coverage. Anthony Crenshaw, assistant director of the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Affairs, said some of the recommendations, including the relocation of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, were implemented before the community analysis was completed. He said the key to the Greek community's success will be to re-engage alumni. "Our office along with the Office of Student Affairs is putting together a three-year strategic plan," he said. "We'll break the report up and look over it for the next three years." Crenshaw and Telles-Irvin both said they look forward to an improved community as a result of the study. "I know the Greeks play a critical role at the university," Telles-Irvin said. "We need to find better ways to facilitate their contributions." National Pan-Hellenic and Multicultural Greek councils recruit outside of Rush RUSH from page 10 students must decide which organization they would like to join and begin the new-member process. For the nearly 1,200 women atUF deciding to take part in Panhellenic recruitment week, the process is slightly different. There are four rounds of "parties," required .meet-and-greets between potential and current sorority members at the chapter houses. The first round is the most casual. Students visit all 16 chapter houses and after each round rank the chapter houses by preference. The following day they are given a schedule telling them which houses to visit. By the fourth round, or the "preference round," students will visit only three houses for one hour each. Bids are given the following day. PC Membership Vice President Courtney Weir said one of the main benefits of joining a sorority is "the true sense of a home away from home for first-time students." Both Weir and Bucciarelli emphasized that students can withdraw at any time during the process. "One could go through the whole week, receive a bid from all 24 chapters, decide that Greek life isn't for him and simply walk Greek away," Bucciarelli said. Life Freshman Adam Lieberman, 19, said he plans to rush this Fall in part because he's hoping to make good friends. "It seems at UF, especially, being in the Greek scene is definitely the way to go," he said. "More of the social scene is in the Greek life." Lieberman said he isn't too worried about hazing rumors he's heard. IAN "I've seen friends go through it, and if they can do it, I can," he said. IFC spokesman Jeremy Martin said hazing won't be tolerated. "When I went through the newmember education process, I would have been comfortable filming the entire thing and having my mom watch everything I did. My guess is that many people feel the same way," Martin said. UF's two other Greek councils, the National Pan-Hellenic Council and the Multicultural Greek Council, recruit members throughout the year on a chapter-by-chapter basis. For NPHC there is a period beginning in September when some of the recruitment takes place. But the organizations can decide at which times of the year they want to take in new members. The chapters of MGC are featured in a showcase, in which each gives out information on its individual recruitment process. Full details can be found on each of the councils' UF Web sites. Students accepting bids will begin the 10-week new-member process known as pledging directly following recruitment week.

22, ALLIGATOR U NElW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 RESEARCH Editor's note: This story originally appeared in the Alligator in June. By ALEJANDRA CANCINO Alligator Contributing Writer UF scientists have been in the national spotlight since finding a new way of watching and controlling stem cells from a rodent's brain until the cells become specialized -a new method that mimics the natural production of human brain cells. "We used bits and pieces of different protocols to come up with the one that would let us see the reproduction of cells and control their -rowth," said Dennis A. Steindler, executive director of the Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight Brain Institute. Researchers have been looking for a method, which would induce brain stem cells to produce specialized cells that would cure diseases, such as Parkinson's disease or epilepsy, for more than 50 years, Steindler said. And scientists from UF's Program in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine believe that this method could be the one. Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can replicate many times over and become another type of cell with a specialized function, such as a red blood cell or muscle cell. UF scientists used new conditions to treat the rodent stem brain ''""o5 cur""" y o """ ni"' "" ai"'"stiute This image shows newborn neurons (red cells) that have developed from stem-like cells (green) at three days old. Cells that are green with a slight tint of red are about to make the transition into neurons. cells and exposed them to a growth factor, Steindler said. After the cells were exposed to that factor, it was taken away, and the cells were directed toward the new desired lineages. UF scientists were able to watch the process step by step thanks to a special microscope that took pictures of the cells every five minutes, which were later compiled into a short film. "For the first time scientists were able to watch the cells give life to new daughter cells," Steindler said. The study was published in a recent issue of "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences." .If this method can be duplicated with human brain stem cells, scientists could use it to screen for drugs that would stimulate the brain stem cells to produce specialized cells needed to cure diseases, Steindler said. As a second alternative, scientists could also generate specialized cells in culture dishes and transport them into the brain, he said. For example, Parkinson's disease occurs when the brain cells called substantia nigra begin to malfunction and eventually die. In the case of Parkinson's disease, scientists could use the method to screen for drugs that would stimulate brain cells to create more substantia nigra or they could generate substantia nigra in culture dishes and transport them to the brain. Substantia nigra cells are important because they produce dopamine, a chemical substance that transmits nerve impulses to parts of the brain that control movement initiation and coordination. Without substantia nigra, the brain produces less dopamine, and as a result, people with Parkinson's disease begin to experience symptoms that might include tremor, rigidity, delayed movements or impaired balance and coordination. Steindler said that preliminary research with human brain cells has already been done. "It looks encouraging," he said. "We are pretty confident that this would work."

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION I ALLIGATOR, 23 Gator Growl taps Brady for comic relief 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 performers, such as Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno, at the world's largest student-run pep rally. 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. Colleen McGarr, a talent coordinator who works with Gator Growl, said Brady will work closely with Carmody and the rest of the 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 incorpoA rate comedy, music and improvisation all in one show. Brady Growl spokesman Broy er 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. Carmody said he still is. searching for possible 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. Both Carmody and Chase noted that everything is right on schedule for what will be Gator Growl's 80th year. Carmody, who went on a scouting mission last month to see Brady in Las Vegas, said he believes attendees "will be blown away with how talented Wayne Brady is," adding that he feels Brady's performance will be unlike anything Gator Growl has seen before. Tickets are available now, and Chase said he expected ticket 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.

The pies are New York handy. Though greasier than some, it would in them. our quota of the stuff for a decade or two. But we're ready to share our findings, the best and the rest of local slices. While by no means all the pizza options in town, we feel. this list covers the prominent ones. We rated the pies on a number of basic factors, including sauce character, cheese compatibility, crust and overall taste. A couple of additional categories we included on the facing page are grease levels, because some people like grease and others don't, and our "morning-after factor," the tastiness of the pizza after spending several hours on our patented apartment kitchen counter. That's right: We ate pizza for breakfast, too. The results are available on the next page, but here's our summary of pizza in town: Satchel's The menu says "the difference between a good meal and a really great meal is about an hour wait," and they mean it. But if you've got a long lunch break, this place is worth the drive, the wait and the price. Leonardo's Quick service when the line isn't out the ,, doors during rush times, th pizza .has a generous crust with a thin body, and for dessert an assortment of non-traditional treats and teas. All the salads come with two rolls, which are thick through and through, from the expert handtossing -there's probably a degree requirement for handling 30-inch pizzas -to the crispy, attitude-laden final product. Five Star Best of the chains, no contest. They're also not afraid to crank up the oven and brown the cheese a bit without maiing the dough unchewably tough, a rarity among all the places we tried. The cheese and sauce complemented each other nicely, the dough wasn't too much or thin, and for the price, it can't be beat. Big Lou's Never having heard of this place was the first of the surprises, as both the pizza and atmosphere are delightfully New York. The pizza came out fast, though a little suspiciously so, but it was a good balance of all the essentials, plus a crispy crust that was unusual but not unenjoyable. Mellow Mushroom Greasetastic doesn't even begin to convey it, but if you're a crust snob, you'll M i30W never go anywhere MSrOM else again. Founded izzaesers -by college students for college .students, the environment lives up to its namesake. The pizzas could use a bit more time in the oven, but the love and fresh ingredients make for a worthwhile long lunch. hold up to the authoritative scrutiny of other such window-service places anywhere. Pizza Hut Forgoing the greasy-crisp crust, if you can make that kind of sacrifice, the .pizza is otherwise generous in all departments. Unfortunately, the P #Z same fate as the crust befalls the breadsticks, but if you're looking for something fast and surprisingly not-fake, this won't leave you unhappy. Papa John's The included peppers and dipping sauces score points for this chain, but they're also most of the reason why the pizza tastes decent. Despite the "better ingredients" tagline and the box's proclamation that our "pizza experience was managed by Christ," the package deal tastes a bit dishonest at first. However, it's remarkably tasty lukewarm and day-old. Hungry Howie's Hunger is necessary for an optimum experience here. Though the cheese is good, its virtues are lost to the oddly sweet sauce and unremarkable, though fairly substantial, body of dough. And fuhgeddaboutit once the pie cools. However, several people inside the restaurant looked to be studying, taking occasional nibbles of their slices, so what do we know? Cici's Come for the prices, especially to stay at the pizza/salad bar, but not a palate-tingling exS, perience. The pizza starts out well with springy dough and well-baked cheese, but when the sauce hits the tongue, the party's over. It's weirdly bitter and sweet at the same time, and while an appropriate metaphor for life, it's not a credit to the pizza. Gumby's The Pokey Stix are worth the trip and are even better if you can leave some for the next morning, but the pizza is sub-par. The only taste we could discern seemed to be the grease. Godfather's The pies here are overpriced for their size and taste old, though you 6 wouldn't think so considering the wait time. The "bread"sticks were more like Melba Toast. Now informed, it's your turn to decide what's important to your pizza experience, whether that means something quick and cheap after a long night of partying or making a trip to somewhere you wouldn't be frowned upon for eating your slice with a pinky sticking out.

26, ALLIGATOR E NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 Provost completes puzzle ADMINISTRATION, from page 4 new people who will bring some new perspectives to the university, which I think will be helpful." Fouke, elected to UF's No. 2 spot in June, will begin at her post Aug. 15, replacing Interim Provost Joe Glover. Fouke left a deanship at Michigan State University after receiving the approval of UF's Board of Trustees and Machen. U F "I was thrilled," Fouke said in Adijajofi'agjo June when she first heard of her hiring. "It's an excellent institution. It's a complex institution." Fouke, who will oversee nine other vice presidents, has a three-part plan for when she arrives: examine what tools are used to run UF, assure the best candidates are hired and mentor employees after they sign on."It's all about the people -finding good people and then clearing the boulders out of their way," Fouke said. Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin joined UF in October 2004, one year after Machen took office. Her office supervises the Dean of Students Office, the Reitz Union and the Department of Housing and Resident Education. In addition to Machen's top administrators and UF's highest governing body, the Board of Trustees, UF is run by 10 vice presidents who oversee all aspects of operation, from health and student affairs to research, alumni and government relations. Vice president, treasurer once had other college plans SG, from page 5 Medina said she enjoys "being able to give back" with her SG coworkers. "I'm inspired by the people around me," she said. "I'm inspired by the fact that people are trying to change things on this campus." She said she is concentrating on re-branding SG to bring a new mission statement and positive images to the public. "We're looking to really improve," she said. But she said grades should always come first. "Keeping busy kept me on track," she said. "The main reason we are here [is to] get a degree. From there, you should start filling your plate. Success is what you make it. Success is different for everybody." Medina is a political science and criminology senior and will receive a $6,147 salary. Treasurer seeks legacy She just didn't want to go to U. She wanted to go to school at Tulane University in New Orleans, but her parents convinced her to become a Gator because the move would be a little lighter on the family wallet. However, Student Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi said she hardly regrets following her parents' guidance. "I've grown in the past four years to bleed orange and blue," she said. "I can't imagine being anywhere else and being this happy. We should all consider ourselves lucky." Cosimi said she has been involved in SG since her high school days in Longwood, but getting onto The Gator Party executive ticket in Spring 2005 was not expected. "I have always been involved in SG," she said. "SG has been the only way I could give back to the university and the students in ways I could never have even dreamed of." But Cosimi, a political science senior, said she's not resting on her laurels. She said she wants to cauterize the loopholes in UF's financial codes. "I don't stop," she said. "I'm really dedicated to it. I know I want to leave a legacy. I want the next treasurer to walk into an organized office." Cosimi said incoming freshmen represent an important demographic in SG because they bring energy and passion to the job. "You won't get enough out of your college experience if you don't get involved in something," she said. "You'll feel like you've gained so much more." Cosimi will be paid $6,813.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION -ALLIGATOR, 27 SANTA FE COMMUNITY COLLEGE Parking decals tip of the iceberg of new agenda By ALEJANDRA CANCINO Alligator Contributing Writer Xavier Boada finished high school in May with one-thing clear in his mind -Santa Fe Community College. Boada, an 18-year-old freshman from Miami, wants to get an associate's degree in criminology from SFCC, transfer to UF in two years and eventually go to law school. "I came to Gainesville because Santa Fe is a ood college and because I want to go to UF," he said. Like Boada, about 40 percent of SFCC's new students come from counties other than Alachua and Bradford, with most of them hailing from South Florida. But it is no coincidence they choose SFCC -many use it as a stepping stone to get to UT, since about 60 percent of SFCC students who decide to continue their education in a four-year university attend UF, said SFCC's Institutional Research and Planning Coordinator Jaime Castro. SFCC Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs Anne Kress said although SFCC and UF have no formal academic agreements, both institutions have a long-standing relationship "driven by the, fact that the vast majority of SFCC students want to attend UF." For example, she said, the institutions' curricula are compatible so students don't have problems if they decide to transfer to UF, and UF advisers go to SFCC at least once a year to make sure students there are on track to get to UT. But administrators are not the only ones looking after SFCC students. With only a couple of months in office, SFCC Student Body President Alan Rezaei "Most students won't feel that it is necessary to pay for a decal, but it is a safety-and-fair issue." Alan Rezaei SFCC student body president said he wants to alleviate students' biggest headache -parking. SFCC is trying to institute a new policy of parking decals, an idea Rezaei supports. He said because most students do not register their cars under their name, police cannot track the people who park illegally or cause accidents. With the decals police would be able to hold accountable those who park at SFCC. "Most students won't feel that it is necessary to pay for a decal, but it is a safety-andfair issue," he said. The proposal is still being developed and revised, he added, and the college committee in charge is looking into what kind of decals would be instituted. Students should have an answer when the committee votes in early Fall. Rezaei also plans to continue "The Intern," a six-week long competition that started last year and was inspired by Donald Trump's hit TV show "The Apprentice." Eight students competed in the first contest in community-based tasks for an internship with Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan. And although this year students might compete again for an internship with Hanrahan, Rezaei said he wants to expand the program -perhaps getting students to compete for an internship with the governor in the future. E SOME GROUPS HAVE DEFRAUDED STUDENTS. By CAITLIN HARRIS Alligator Contributing Writer Getting into some honor societies may not be such an honor. Students at UF receive invitations to numerous honor societies every year. Some .of these societies exist to honor and recognize hardworking students, while others are developed to con students out of money. The difference between the two may be hard to recognize, said Jeanna Mastrodicasa, associate director of the Honors Program at UT. There have been incidents in the past involving fraudulent honor societies on UTF's campus, she said. Students need to be wary of all organizations. A few years ago, Mastrodicasa said she attended a conference where a presentation was given on fake honor societies. A speaker talked about a UF fraternity member who bought names and addresses of fellow students from his fraternity brothers. He sent out fake letters inviting students to join a nonexistent honor society, she said. In exchange for money, these students were promised induction into the fake society. "It's a pure scam," Mastrodicasa said. "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Students should take precautions, she said. The first thing to check is the history of the society and when it was founded. Societies founded within the last 10 years probably are not very Student reputable. iIfe Students also need to look at the admission criteria, she said. Some of these honor societies are designed to fill spots on a resume, but the truly legitimate ones have difficult criteria for students to meet. A 3.2 or 3.3 grade point average is the minimum for acceptance into legitimate honor societies, she said. Anything lower usually means it is just a recognition society. Credible honor' societies also have extensive Web sites, she said. Students should visit the site and look for contact information, a national office and headquarters, initiation fees and chapter charter policies and procedures. To deal with the increase in fraudulent honor societies, the Honors Program -at UF has partnered with the Office of Student Activities to help keep students informed and aware, she said. There are several links from the Honors Program Web site, www.honors.ufl.edu, that detail the criteria honor societies must meet before they are nationally accredited. "There has been a huge increase in the number of groups that seem to be more profit-oriented than interested in honoring students," said Chris Cupoli, assistant director of student involvement at UTE Last year, a fraudulent organization was formed for this purpose, he said. It claimed to have a chapter at UF and provided a Web site that misrepresented a relationship with the university. "I think there are very few groups that add significant value to a resume," he said.

For freshmen, college is the beWhat seemed like a good idea ginning of an exhlarating journey can lose its appeal, especially of independence and experimentation. But before being branded for life, professional tattoo artists and tattooed students alike advise non-inked newbies to settle down and do research. Eric Carlson, a tattoo artist and Tattoo artist Stenvik Mostrom works on a new tattoo for John Lee at Body Tech on University Avenue on July 19. By ERIN CHALFANT Avenue Writer Gainesville Community Playhouse's new $2 million, 10,000 square-foot theater is scheduled to open with the Jan. 27 debut of "Cinderella." To the community theater world, this is like a dream come true. Jerry Brewington, member of the board of directors for Gainesville Community Playhouse, said the new theater provides a great opportunity to perform or work behind the scenes in a state-of-the-art facility. He expects the Vam York Theater will surprise theater aficionados in Gainesville. "They will be dazzled," Brewington said. He said the perks include dressing rooms, a set room, a costume room, a green room for manager of Body Tech Inc., 806 W University Ave., stresses the importance of taking time to carefully contemplate the design and placement of a tattoo. "If you have no clue of what to get, spend some time thinking about the design and the location, but don't ask other people," Carlson said. "Ultimately, you're the one who will have to live with the tattoo for the next 70 years." UP political science senior Austin Stocki agrees freshmen should think long and hard before getting body art. "I'd never, recommend a student get anything simply because they can," Stocki said. "I think about a design for at least a few months before I ever commit to it." While deciding on a design, students should remember not to compromise quality for a cheap tattoo. Generally, the more difficult a tattoo, the higher the price will be. Carlson recommends saving enough money until you can get the design of your dreams and the professional quality you expect. For students ready to take the. permanent plunge, Carlson offers several tips for finding a professional tattoo shop. While scouting for the perfect parlor, potential clients should survey the cleanliness of the shop's front room.

More experienced artists have extensive portfolios for customers to page through. After picking out the right design and the perfect shop, a client is ready to seal the deal. Tattoo parlors ask clients to fill out forms with contact and health information and sign a liability release. Next, the artist will make a transfer of the chosen design to use as a guideline for the tattoo. Finally, the artist will outline the image and fill it in. The tattooed area takes about two weeks to heal completely. As for the discomfort level, it truly depends on the individual's tolerance for pain, Carlson said. "When people ask me if it hurts, I tell them it feels like being bitten by a chicken," Carlson said. "Honestly, the anticipation is worse than the actual procedure." With five tattoos and counting, Stocki feels that his tattoos are a unique part of his identit-f "All of my tattoos are personal and serve as reminders," Stocki said.

This summer, Sweetwater became the first and only USDA-certified organic roaster in Florida. Even with the coffeehouse not yet open, business has been growing at the small roasting company. "We already can't keep the free sample pot full because so many people come to just hang out and drink coffee already," said owner Nora Edison.

They've come from as far away as Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, d Nicaragua, Mexico, Peru, Brazil; Ethiopia and Sumatra. Much of the coffee grown in these countries comes from very poor regions, but Sweetwater's coffee is fairly traded, meaning farmers get paid a living wage to grow it. While fair trade is a hot topic among coffee sellers, Edison and her husband, Chris Neumann, said they don't want to push it on people. "We love talking about it, and we love to let people know, 'Hey, this great coffee is also coming to you correct,' but we don't use that as a selling point," Neumann said.

MONDAYAUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION 0 ALLIGATOR, 31 Fall movies look sizzling after summer flicks fizzled while the summer movie season was a little disappointing, it seems that fall has the potential to make up for the lack of cinematic talent these sweltering months provided. This fall, moviegoers will get a break from the massive production-and-budget action movies the film studios tried to float this summer but ultimately flopped. Hollywood is looking to theme this fall with dramatic pieces and mild thrillers. In the action genre the fall will begin as hunky Jason Statham returns in -"Transporter 2." It promises cool action sequences that remind me of Jackie Chan or Jet Li-type fighting -only with a much hotter Statham. The Rock will star in "Doom" in November, which is based on the classic computer game I think everyone has played at least once. The wrestler is known for his memorable turns in critically acclaimed movies such as "The Scorpion King" -so I am sure he will keep up his street credentials by imulilating aliens all while keeping one eyebrow raised. Now that's what I call talent. The sequels to "Saw" and "The Mask of Zorro" round out the action-movie lineup for the fall. Drama and romance will abound as the leaves turn as well. Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo will pair up in "Just Like Heaven," which to me looks like a cross between "Ghost" and "Heart and Souls." Ruffalo falls for the spirit of a beautiful woman, played by Witherspoon of course, who used to live in his new apartment and continues to "haunt" it. Gwyneth Paltrow will pursue a second Academy Award nomination and possibly win it in the movie version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway. play "Proof." Paltrow stars as the troubled daughter of a brilliant but mentally ill mathematician played by Anthony Hopkins. Cameron Diaz will star in the movie adaptation of Jennifer Weiner's comic Melissa novel "In Her Filipkowski Shoes," a story The Reel Life about two very theavenue@allgator.org different sisters and their relationship. Claire Danes will have to choose between a quirky musician and a suave older man played by Steve Martin in the romantic comedy "Shopgirl." "Almost Famous" director Cameron Crowe will return with another drama called "Elizabethtown," which already is creating some buzz. I predict the blockbuster movies for the fall -or the mmiies I am most excited to see -are: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," "Rent," "The Producers: The Movie Musical," "King Kong" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." All have had major buzz Ahd already have trailers in theaters. Whatever movies you choose to see during the season, we can be assured the fall, while colder, will definitely be a hotter movie season than the summer turned out to be. Cleavage cals for extreme cautionm:no butts about it oth guys and girls seem to straddle the line on this issue. A divide by any other name would call this trend "plumber's crack." The euphemism emerged in 2002 when fashionistas dorming low-slung pants dared to bare a little more of the foul line. With this picnic of skin, some guys find a feast for the eyes while others find a lessenticing snack. "It makes me want to go give the girl a giant wedgie," my friend Ryan said. Brandishing a g-string in addition to the back-eye slit has lowered the bar for tackiness yet another notch. Ladies, do you actually think this looks good? At dinner the other night, I had the misfortune of sitting faceto-bum with a girl on a barstool whose cheeks were revealed for all to see. They were staring at me. I. pondered the many ways this was unsanitary, but I digress. If fashion condones it, it must be OK, right? Hm, I wonder if history will look as favorably on butt cleavage as it does on acidwashed jeans and leisure suits. Your Fashion a Go-Go calls this fashion a no-no. However, there is no doubt the ass is making Christine a new statement. It's chic. Steffens It's mod. It's vogue.

So, may I suggest a bit of self-censorship when it comes to superfluous skin folding over the waistband? I can guarantee you will thank me later. Like all things, I have a feeling that this fad too shall pass, much like the big heavymetal hair of the '80s adorning my middle school yearbook pictures.

32, ALLIGATOR W NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 co ing a muic scenestrinfivesi pesteps By BRIAN OFFENTHER Avenue Wwiter Hey, freshmen! Stop looking at the campus map, stop calling your (soon-to-be ex) girlfriend who's going to a different college and read here. I know what's good for you. You want music. You need some rock 'n roll in your soul. Well, lucky you, because G'ville has got quite a happening music scene. We inspired an ode by Less Than Jake with "Gainesville Rock City." Last April, we were ranked in the Top 5 of Esquire's "Cities. that Rock." Everything from "solo acoustic grind chord" (Rubber Room) to "ska-core surf rock". (Ten 13 Concept) graces the local stages on an average night. I humbly present to you some pointers for the future Gainesville music scenester. Online Guide to Bands Immerse yourselfin Gainesvillebands.com -the only site you'll need for everything music in Gainesville. The site has a comprehensive upcoming show list, quick profiles of just about every band in town and a message board to discuss everything in between. New musicians in town should check out the Create-A-Band forum, where many bands recruit members or forn entirely new acts. The webmaster, Glypher, ubiquitous at all major shows for the last 50 years, puts his heart and soul into local music Where to buy local music Browse through local music CDs and records around town. Hyde and Zeke's, 1620 W University Ave., No Future Records, 107 N Main St., Hear Again CDs, 818. W University Ave., and the local CD Warehouse franchise, 3224 SW 35th Boulevard, sell music by local acts. Anyone interested in independent music should check out the Wayward Council, 807 W University Ave, a "non-profit store" that sells independent records and CDs, T-shirts and 'zines. Another tip for the future is to keep an eye on the Alachua County library system. It is in the process of beefing up its local music collection. Local music on the radio dial Despite the absolUte travesty of not having an independent college radio station in town, local music can be found on the FM radio dial. Every Wednesday at 9 p.m. on The Buzz, 100.5 FM, hear clueless local music impresario Moe Rodriguez mess up the soundboard and beg his guests not to curse. Thankfully, he also plays some great music, and his banter is entertaining. The Locals Only show is on with DJ Philip Nyguen on Rock 104, 103.7 FM, every Sunday night. The real bonus here is the station's Web site -Rock104.com streams every week's show commercial free. Music for cheap If you're skeptical and maybe a little cheap, plenty of shows around town are absolutely free. Behind Chipotle Grill on University Avenue is a purple house called Tim and Terry's Music and More. Located at 1417 NW First Ave., Tim and Terry's sells a bit of everything, including beer, guitars and the best grilled-cheese sandwiches. Occasionally, it also holds an "intimate" show in its limited space. Last year ska legends the Toasters played an acoustic set. .On UF's campus, shows have been happening more often. Most of them are free. The Reitz Uhion is the usual scene, with bands playing in the Orange and Brew on Thursday and Friday nights. Last year, the Stephen C. O'Connell Center brought in sonie big names, including the Roots. Other places like Satchel's Pizza and the Downtown Community Plaza also host shows once in a while. What's not the local music scene Stay away from the Swamp Restaurant and "venues" like it. Nothing against the Swamp itself -you can eat there, but don't go for the music. The nightly dude in a collared shirt and khaki shorts singing massacred Sublime and Van Morrison covers isn't Gainesville's real scene. The frequent, excruciating cover of "Wonderwall" might be what forced the Oasis reunion so the Gallagher brothers could redeem their music. Uuless you plan on rushing this year (and I don't mean 2112), stay far, far away.

34, ALLIGATOR S NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 SURVIVAL GUIDE Hurricane party kits call for more than 'D' batteries r--hey're baa-ack. T4 yThe merciless storms that tear through rooftops, flood streets and erode beaches, leaving behind a chunk change of destruction, only to be remembered by names like Ivan or Frances. This season, the first hurricane lo brush the sunshine state showed little mercy to the panhandle, but it also began the annual frenzy to gather survival supplies such as generators and non-perishable foods. Many of these supplies run standard across the state -but this is Gainesville, college town extraordinaire. If you think the orange and blue Eining the streets for the first game day is surreal, just wait urtil the first hurricane. This place is anything but normal then. A good majority of UF students live in rented space, like dorms or apartments, alleviating the largest stress of hurricanes. Whatever damage ensues on the property, someone else will have to foot the bill. With that worry out of the way, here are the survival supplies students really need during hurricane season: Being trapped anywhere in Gainesville won't be fun without good friends. When hurricanes spin toward town, make plans to have friends stay over and have a hurricane party. The tern "safety in numbers" applies here -whether it's true or not, it'll make everyone feel better when the winds begin to howl. A hurricane party needs food, with several slight adjustments. If there's any time to try and clear out the freezer and refrigerator, this would be it. If the power goes out, the food will spoil anyway. Heat up those Hot Pockets that have icicles from prolonged freezer time. Make some pudding with milk that's about to go bad. Create a smorgasbord of hors d'oeuvre before the electricity blows. If anything, it'll be fun to see what's been lurking in the fridge all year. Watching live coverage of weathermen braving the storm can be entertaining, but unless one of them gets hit with a Ramada sign, it gets old quickly. Stock up on movies before the storm. Box-set collections of TV shows provide endless hours of entertainment and allow Heather for breaks in between. A Berger good choice is "Family Survival Guidess Guy: Season 3" -humor sssrgerealligstsr.arg makes time go by faster. But what happens after you've been eating Hot Pockets and watching "Family Guy" for eight hours? You're legs will stiffen and you'll feel like a beached whale. This is when things get silly. Reach under the bed and pull out that Tae Bo workout video you've never touched. Move all furniture to the side and feel the cardiovascular burn you never knew you could handle. If someone feels inclined, let them lead the workout. Even if Billy Blanks' belligerent punching and kicking proves too much, it could be the most entertaining part of the hurricane. Next, make sure to have a camera fully charged. Put on a pohcho, grab a flashlight and try to be as cool as the weathermen on TV. Taking fake pictures of your friends defying the storm on the balcony or porch make great memories of your quarantined weekend at home. This might sound lame, but after 24 hours, it'll sound great. The last six-pack of survival supplies are for those students 21 and older. Relaxing with a few beers can always ease hurricane party tensions. No one has to worry about guests trying to drive home, so everyone wins. Good times. Instead of wreaking havoc when the next storm heads toward town, keep this article handy and take it easy. In Gator Country, even hurricanes mean party time. Meteorologists nationwide predict this hurricane season to break records in size and number. Let the storming begin. Nonstop sex, sophisticated men revealed as merely sexual myth ou think you're going to get laid every weekend. You won't. Or you think attractive, sophisticated medical students are the norm. They aren't. You think everyone in college has sex all the time, and you might even think you need a sock-on-the-doorknob code with your roommate to prevent awkward situations. You'll never need a sock on the doorknob. In fact, it's more likely your roommate will walk in on you masturbating than you having sex anywhere often enough to need a do-not-disturb sign. Anyway, it's not your fault. Everyone comes to school Oth a head full of collegiate sexual mythology. Women come into college with the expectation of an ever-lasting group of smart, sophisticated and attractive singles to date, and men believe it's all nonstop sex. And both believe that in college, your sex life is the easy part of being at school. The origins of these myths may be based in some truths. Women in college take sex less seriously than when they were younger. However, high school boys misinterpret sexual empowerment for promiscuity when hatching stories in the lunchroom. For the female freshmen, while your parents may have met in college and the guys here seem more mature than any you've known before' most guys show up at UF with a lot of growing up to do. Now, I know no one likes to be lectured, so I'll only add here what I wish I had been told four years ago. First, 'ex isn't as huge as you make it in your head. Really. Sex only highlights our most hidden foibles. It's how you learn a guy can have freckles on his penis or a girl can have different sized breasts. As awkward and humorous as sex can be, it also teaches us how little these flaws actually matter. Second, more than anything else, the college experience teaches self-discovery. You might have small moments of realization about yourself, like whether or not you leave a note when you scrape another car in the parking garage. Or they. might be huge discoveries, like whether or not you prefer being intimate with men or women. But with all discoveries about who you are, self-acceptance remains the only way to have those lessons stick. It's also the only way to really r. L enjoy your time here. Risqu Business Other than that, I can only stress that tsmmvenme@alligsatr.srg dating isn't as easy as you think it's going be. Maybe you'll be one of those rare, lucky freshmen who meets someone great from upstairs in the first month and have a long, happy relationship. But realistically, you have better odds of contracting an STD. The utopia in your mind doesn't exist. You're not going to get laid every weekend. But that doesn't mean you still shouldn't have a lot of fun trying. rt --7 7 7-THE INDEPENDENT Sat 9 ___________1 ~ 37S9-4686 8& 9-2eK 'Services for Mven andWmen 2UAW, W W gradit 4il 6 RI Goods, Clothing & More ---------TwE o L carlons to Sct-vc You -----Mol H-1 90 2 !"i 2 Dis,,namnl /li"" Visit the LARGEST PARTY ShOP in North Central Florida for ALL YOUR PARTYni SUPPLIES! 376-1400 2630 NW I 3th St. (across from Wal-Mart) Mon-Fri 9-7 Sat 9-6 Sun 11-4

3t7'ALLIGATOR E NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 CAMPUS POLL Freshmen ask about 'bests' from sushi to hair color Who better to ask what an incoming freshman wants to know than freshmen themselves? Firstyear Avenue reporters Melissa Thompson and Olee Fowler hit the campus and polled incoming Summer B freshmen. This is what you wanted to know: Daniel Bruce Major: Business Administration "Where is the best cup of coffee?" Find your cup of tea, or in this case, coffee, at Maude's Classic Cafe at the downtown Sun Center. The funky, artsy cafe has the best chai lattes and dessert coffee in town. My personal favorite is the Berliner, with cocoa and ice cream. Drink coffee with a Maude's cleverly named chocolate brownie, apple pie, cheesecake, tiramisu or carrot cake. With outdoor seating, sip on coffee and enjoy live jazz music on weekend nights. -TRAN CHAN the Avenue Restaurant Reviewer What's the best venue to view local bands? Although people have their favorites, there is no "best venue." Common Grounds, 210 SW 2nd Ave., has been hosting the biggest names, from the latest Hot Water spin-off to Less Than Jake. Eddie C's Pub, 1315 S Main St., has a htier vibe and features many metal shows. Don't overlook smaller places like The Side Bar, 15 SW 2nd St., and The Shamrock Pub, 1017 W University Ave., that sometimes feature real gems. -BRIAN OFFENTHER the Avenue Staff Where can I find vintage clothing? There are some great places in town for people who don't regulate their style to what's at American Eagle or Hot Topic. The main culprits are along University Avenue. Persona Vintage Clothing, 1023 W University Ave., also rents out costumes, and Flashbacks Recycled Fashions, 211 W University Ave., has a second floor that proudly sells "stuff." For the adventurous, head north on Main Street for dirt cheap second-hand shops. -BRIAN OFFENTHER Lisa Balfe Major: undecided "Where can I get an affordable cut and color?" Beating a budget strain involves hopping around town for different services instead of sticking with one salon for everything. I recommend Salon La Di Da, 12 E University Ave., costing around $30 for a cut. But you want to make sure your stylist is not a senior whose prices tend to be much higher. For highlights, Scissors, 411 SW 2nd Ave, is most affordable starting at $40, while Tecnicolors Salon, 408 W University Ave., prices a full color at $45. If your purse strings are still tighter, you might want to consider Regis in the mall, but their prices are rather competitive, so money saved will be negligible. -CHRISTINE STEFFENS the Avenue Fashion a Go-Go Andrea Morley major: Political SScience "Where can I see community the"A i ater?" The best venue for community theater is the Gainesville Community Playhouse, 4039 NW 16th Blvd. GCP's new theater opening in January should raise the community standards. Gainesville also is the home of the Acrosstown Repertory Theatre, 619 S Main St. UF's Constans Theater and SFCC's Auditorium in E building both are stage student productions. If you don't mind the drive, High Springs offers the High Springs Community Playhouse. -ERIN CHALFANT the Avenue Theater Reviewer Carolyn Kimbro Major: Fine Arts "Where is the best place to get vegetarian food?" Gainesville is a great place for vegetarians, as almost every locally-owned restaurant has a decent vegetarian menu. Case in point:The Reggae Shack Caf6, 619 W University Ave., has killer Jamaican food in tofu form. For vegans, Leonardo's Pizza, 1245 W University Ave., features a dairy-free slice that is quite delicious. -BRIAN OFFENTHER Nina Mahmoudi Major: Journalism "Is there anywhere to eat besides Broward dining?" Now that you are a Gator, you have certain must-do's. You have to learn the "chomp" for football games. And, you have to eat at Burrito Brothers at least -once. Burrito Brothers, at the corner of 13th Street and University Avenue, actually ships their burritos to alumni out of town. You are part of the last incoming freshmen class to catch them in their original location before the University Corners construction displaces them for a few years. Welcome to history in the making. -CHER PHILLIPS the Avenue Editor Ashley Sutton Major: Broadcast "Where is the best sushi?" If you want a hip and cool atmosphere to eat sushi, dine at Dragonfly Sushi and Sake Company, 201 SE 2nd Ave. The oversized, royal purple velvet couches and dark red decor exude a sophisticated, big-city vibe in this small town. But for the best taste of raw fish, Ichiban on 43rd Street wins for its maki rolls. Also notable are the Spicy Salmon Tenipura Roll, Dynamite Roll or Yoshi Roll, a sweet blend of eel, eel sauce and avocado. Ichiban is one of the few sushi places in town that is not all rice and little fish. -TRAN CHAN ..Ryan Carter Major: Business Administration

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION, U ALLIGATOR 47 Gators make history, play in CWS championship By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@aligator.org OMAHA, Neb. -The longest season in UF history went by in a flash. On November 24, when the team was wrapping up fall workouts, Jeff Corsaletti predicted as much. "You play 56 games, and those 56 games feel like they're all in one month by the time you're done playing," Corsaletti said. "Before you know it, it will be done, so you just have to cherish every moment of it." Actually, the Gators played 71 games this year, going further than any previous UF baseball team by reaching the championship round of the College World Series. The success of the 2005 team did not come overnight. UF coach Pat McMahon stuck with his strategy from the beginning. Instead of having his players overwhelmed with the daunting trials of the entire season, McMahon sets short-term goals for Iis team. "The stages and the plan are really important to me because it breaks everything down into a step," McMahon said. "Now you have a specific goal that is reachable. With anything you do, so often people get concerned about the bigger picture. A joumey is steps and stages, and if you don't take it that way I think there's a chance to run eschew." McMahon was named Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year after the Gators finished 20-10 in the SEC and won the conference title. Prior to the beginning of the season, a poll of SEC coaches placed the Gators in third place. That's third place in the Eastern Division. When informed of his -colleague's prediction in January, McMahon 'flashed his charismatic smile. "Interesting," McMahon said. "We'll look for that as a wonderful challenge to move things forward. And we will." Blueprint for Success One of the most apparent beginnings of the team's development was the signing of a highly touted junior college transfer. A former first-round draft pick in the Major League Draft, Alan Home returned to the SEC a year after playing at Chipola Junior College. His career at Mississippi was cut short by Tommy John surgery 22 months ago. When Home stepped on campus in January, McMahon said that pitching coach Ross Jones turned handsprings in the outfield. The Gators also returned a core of four seniors. Center fielder Jeff Corsaletti turned down a professional contract in the off-season. He wanted to increase his draft standing and reach the College World Series. -"If it was up to me, I'd like to hit 12-13 home runs this year," he said in November. "But, at the same time, if I only hit five or six home runs and we go to Omaha, I'll take that. That will work for me." Corsaletti hit 10 home runs and was drafted in the sixth round by his favorite team, the Boston Red Sox, improving his draft standing by 22 rounds. He had predicted the team's success would ride on the pitching staff. "Last year, I thought we were one pitcher short," Corsaletti said. "I think this year we have a good shot. Our pitclhdng staff, our crop of new pitchers, we have a bunch of good ones." Add to the mix a powerful sophomore first baseman. Matt LaPorta led his summer league in home runs in the off-season. He said that the team was out to prove its detractors wrong. "Everybody thought we wouldn't even finish third in our own division," LaPorta said. "I knew at the beginning that we had a chance to go this far." LaPorta was named to multiple AllAmerica teams and led the nation with 26 home runs. He said that the recent success of the team will be a foundation for future years. "I think it's good for the team to know that we should be able to get [to Omaha] every year," LaPorta said. "Once you get that taste of it, you should pass that tradition on. People get that swagger and feel like they can be there every year." Emotional Boost But no story rivaled that of third-baseman Brandon McArthur. Accounts of his brain surgeries following an unprovoked attack outside a Gainesville bar in October 2003 have been well documented. While the team played on ESPN in Nebraska, his heartwarming story of recovery was repeated to a national audience. While many people may have been sympathetic, for much of the year, opponents didn't cut McArthur any slack. McArthur had the lowest fielding percentage of anybody on the team with more than 50 chances. He struggled at the plate at thgbeginning of the year despite nearly scoring the winning run in the season opener, a game the Gators lost to Charleston Southern. "I'm not really worrying about the last game or thinking about the future," McArthur said during a 15-game hitting steak in April. "When you struggle, you let it go. You don't think about it and don't wonder what would have happened if you would have done it differently." On February 22, McArthur had three hits against FAMU. Before the game, the scars from the surgeries were visible after he shaved his head, shaped in a long arc that resembled the stitches on a baseball. He said the new haircut wasn't an attempt to break his hitting slump. "I'm not that superstitious about this game, it wasn't anything like that," McArthur said. "We're an easy-going team. It was getting long. I said if we're going to cut it, might as well take it all off." 1V N fo Small Group Bible Study: 8:15am, 9:15am & 10:45am Bible Study Groups are relaxed, relational and designed to help hundreds of collegians just like you to explore truth and connect with others.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION 0 ALLIGATOR 49 UF MEN'S BASKETBALL Don van calls on youth to replace talented trio By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabrarnson@asigator.org If you blinked your eye, you probably missed it. One minute, the UF men's basketball team featured one of the most talented trios in the NCAA. Suddenly, the Gators -minus stars David Lee, Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson -are just a shell of the team that won the SEC Tournament in 2005. But a little rebuilding never stopped UF coach Billy Donovan. UF enters the 2005-06 season full of youth and inexperience, but there's plenty of talent on the roster to make the Gators a true threat in the Southeastern Conference. Donovan's rebuilding project begins at the point guard position, where he must replace Roberson, the runner-up for SEC Player of the Year in 2005. Roberson left UF following his junior season but wasn't selected in the NBA Draft. Walter Hodge, this year's Florida Gatorade State Player of the Year out of Florida Air Academy in Melboume, doesn't have quite the same accolades of Roberson -a McDonald's High School All American -heading into U, but the 6-foot guard's style of play is similar to that of Roberson. "Walter adds speed, quickness and shooting to our backcourt," Donovan said. "He has the potential to be a very good defender and is coinig out of a great high school program, so we're certainly excited to have him join us." The potential battle between Hodge and soon-to-be sophomore Taurean Green for the starting point guard job should be extremely competitive. Green had a solid freshman season backing up Roberson. Unlike Hodge, Green is a true point guard, looking to pass first. But if Hodge turns out to be as explosive as Donovan hopes, it may be tough to keep him on the bench for long. "It's way too early to talk about a freshman's playing time. You never know how freshman are going to react to a certain situation," scout.com recruiting analyst Dave Telep said. "But make no mistake, Walter Hodge was recruited to play early" Telep is high on incoming freshman Derwin Kitchen, a 6-foot-4 guard who he believes could receive the most playing time of any freshman next season. Kitchen will likely compete with junior guard Lee Humphrey for the starting spot at shooting guard. Last year Walsh started at that position, but the junior left UF early and eventually signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat. "Kitchen's a combo guard that can play both positions for them. He's also a proven winner," Telep said. "He's a versatile a guy who can play both guard positions and defend both spots." Other than the point guard competition, the battle for the starting power forward should be one of the top stories this fall. Site: O'Connell Center Tickets: UF students are admitted free, but must pre-register online on specific dates throughout the season. Season Opener, Key Games: TBA Coach: Billy Donovan (10th season at UF, 193-92, 228-112 overall) Top Players: Corey Brewer, forward (so.), Al Horford, center (so.) The Lowdown: The Gators never advanced past the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament behind the star trio of David Lee, Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson. Now, all three are gone and Coach Billy Donovan must rebuild the team. The Gators should be an up-tempo team that suits Donvoan's coaching style, as well as improved defensively, but the team will be very young and scoring droughts should be expected. Al Horford should be a lock at center, but Joakim Noah, Adrian Moss and Chris Richard will all compete for one starting position. "It's all about off-season strength training. With that group there, strength will be important," Telep said. "[There could be a guy] like Noah that could make leaps and bounds in the off-season. There's going to be some interesting practice sessions to see who breaks through."

"I think the talent is coming into place," Telep said. "They've got the young bigs they had last year as well as Corey Brewer. Hodge is a guy that can hopefully [give valuable minutes] at point guard. There's a good amount of talent in this program and there should be reasonably high expectations."

50>ALLIGATOR. NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 SI features Leak; ranks UF No. 3 By IAN FISHER and ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Staff Writers Apparently, UF offensive coordinator Dan Mullen has never heard of the Sports Illustrated jinx. When SI hit newsstands on Aug. 11, Chris Leak graced the cover as an "unstoppable player," and Mullen was nothing but excited about it. "I haven't got it yet," said Mullen on Aug. 10, the first day the cover debuted on the Internet. "I need to get the real magazine .so I can have him sign it for me and put it on my wall of fame of people that I've actually met in my life that are famous." All kidding aside, Mullen said it was an honor for not only Leak, but also UT. Right there plastered on the front with Leak is UF at No. 3 in SI's preseason poll. Mullen said Leak won't feel any of the additional pressure that the lofty national prediction brings. "No matter where they picked us, if they picked us No. 1 or No. 116, the expectations are going to be really high, so I don't think that changes expectations for Chris," Mullen said. This was the sixth time UF has been featured on the cover of SI. Leak's appearance was regional, with Texas' Vince Young and Southern California's Reggie Bush on the other two covers. DETOUR: Thanks to a tip from a certain Bachelor, UF is one receiver richer. After last season, former Georgia Tech quarterback Pat Carter planned on transferring to hometown South Florida, until he met former UF quarterback Jesse Palmer. Carter spent the summer training with members of the New York Giants, including Palmer, Matt Hasselbeck and his brother Tim Carter. At the workouts, the sophomore's soft hands impressed Palmer and Hasselbeck, who influenced the former quarterback not only to swap positions but destinations. Carter must sit out this season due to NCAA rules, but at practice Tuesday, he said he is excited about his new position and opporturity in Meyer's offense. "I feel like Coach Meyer has a great offense," Carter said. "And he was telling me that he could help me develop because I don't have the experience at receiver, but I have the speed." FIELDTURF FIRST: The Gators practiced on their new FieldTurf practice field for the first time Aug. 10 due to the temporary field being wet. The Gators have spent all summer practicing at the Village South Fields on the southwest side of campus while the new turf undergoes a $1 million renovation. The field is shorter than a normal football field, but Meyer said it will be useful during the season. "You wish you had about another 30 yards, but I think someone said 18 of the NFL teams have that turf now," Meyer said. "A lot of colleagues in the profession say it's almost at times better than grass because you don't have the divots." Meyer said it was about 10 degrees hotter on the surface, but he didn't notice. SHIFTING THE LINE: Despite never registering a start at the position to date, junior Ray McDonald will be spending the near future playing defensive end. "[McDonald] is going to stay at end right now," Meyer said. "[He's] different than [senior defensive end Jeremy] Mincey, who's a more athletic, fast guy. I kind of like the way our first-team line looks." The move outside opens up a spot for junior Steven Harris at tackle. Harris, who recorded 23 tackles and 3 sacks in 2004, has continued to impress coaches after a breakout spring. Site: Florida Field Coach: Urban Meyer (Ist season at UF, 0-0, 39-8 overall) Tickets: Season tickets are sold out, but a limited numberof individual game tickets will be available tile Thursday prior to home games. Season Opener: Saturday Sept. 3 vs. V Wyoming 6p.m. Key Home Games: Sat. Sept. I7 vs. Tennessee 8 p.m., Sat. Nov. 26 vs. Florida State Key Road Games: Sat Oct. 15 at LSU, Sat Nov. 12 at South Carolina The Lowdown: After three disappointing seasons under Ron Zook, expectations are at an all-time high as two-time defending national coach tf the year Urban Meyer takes the reins. Junior quarterback Chris Leak led the SEC in virtually every passing category latyear,,and return's a possible d-eisman candidate this year.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005, NEW STUDENT EDITION U ALLIGATORK.51 JUMPBALL In-State or SEC? Don't even think about reading the other side to this debate. I know. know. You're in college now and every Ph.D-toting, power point-presenting professor will tell you it's best to hear both sides of an argument before you make your final call. Anyone, however, who questions that the Seminoles are the Gators' biggest rival should spend another year at Santa Fe Community College before coming to U. What makes the best rivalries? History and the stories that become legends long after the games are played, if you ask me. Every year's battle with FSU adds another memorable chapter to the feud. Rumor has it that in 1997, Steve Spurrier told Doug Johnson to fire a spiral at Bobby Bowden's 900-year-old head during warm-ups. In 2003, even the athletics directors got into the mix after several missed calls by ACC officials left Gator Nation crying foul. In 2001, when FSU's Athletics Director Dave Hart heard of Steve Spurrier's complaints against the Seminoles, he replied that Stevie Boy could use a bedtime spanking. Obviously, the Tennessee game is important for the Gators to win the SEC. Even ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit personally told me (name drop) in the spring, "the match up with the Vols will decide whether UF is a national contender." The game itself though doesn't have the hype or emotions that the FSU game does. I'm just wondering: Do the Gators and Volunteers gather at the 50 yard line before the game to fight over the home team's logo? Nope. What the average fan doesn't know is that familiarity breeds contempt in sports. FSU or Farzad Safi Far's Side fsafiealligator.org Tennessee, The Gators and 'Noles are in-state rivals who recruit the same players year in and year out. When they get together it's not the first meeting for most of them. These athletes have been competing against each other longer than they have been shaving. Look at most of the great rivalries in sports: Yankees vs. Red Sox, North Carolina vs. Duke, Alabama vs. Auburn. What do they all have in common? Two perennial powers whose fan bases are very close on the map to one another. It's tough for UF and UT fans to jaw back and forth when there are 550 miles separating them. Skeptics like to claim that the rivalry lost some of its Fun-n-Gun when Spurrier left. With Urban Meyer on board, I guarantee the game will be as divisive as ever. Meyer has molded his players to live and play the right way since day one. Meanwhile, FSU's starting quarterback Wyatt Sexton proclaimed to Tallahassee police that he was God and linebacker Ernie Sims was arrested for beating up his girlfriend. You only have to look at last year to see what FSU means to the Gators. UF's disappointing season had many low-lights: an early season loss to the Vols, just the second loss in 15 years to Georgia, and yet another bullying by Miami in the Peach Bowl. But you don't remember all that. You remember a pretty good year because the Gators defeated FSU in Tallahassee for the first imne since 1986. writers debate UF's biggest rival Y ou want rivalry? When the Volunteers come to the Swamp on Sept. 17, it will be the most heated and meaningful game that the Gators have had in almost five years. In order to explain whom UF's biggest rival is heading into 2005, it's critical to look at history's past mixed with the present. It's hard to deny the passion that goes on between the Gators and Seminoles, but don't let far, far and away Farzad trick you. Florida State is a program on the decline that could very well be unranked by the time the Seminoles stroll into Gainesville. An unproven quarterback in Drew Weatherford or Xavier Lee, a subpar offensive line, discipline problems and a coach so old that they don't even bother connecting his headset on the sidelines will lead to a down year in Tallahassee. While the game is played late in the season, it is still a non-conference match up that plays no part in deciding the Southeastern Conference race. After Tennessee's last second victory in 2004 in which UF's clown coach Ron Zook let yet another one slip away, the Volunteers have the talent, momentum and confidence to defeat UF again. Meyer and Sports Illustrated cover-boy Chris Leak will try to conjure up the ghosts of Gators past in order reclaim the Swamp -something that Ron Zook could never really do. Tennessee vs. Florida is a prime example of what college football is meant to be and the rivalry Eric Esteban is so deep that even Tenacious E the coaching staffs Tenaciui Ergget involved. UT eesteban@aIligator.org 9 offensive line coach Jimmy Ray Stephens coached the Gators from 1993 to 2001, 'ut Meyer showed two could play that game with the hiring of C.J. Leak to the strength staff. After the Peyton Manning-era in which UF thrashed the Vols each of Manning's seasons, UT got its revenge in 1998 en route to a national title setting up one of the best games in the rivalry's history. With the Vols ranked No. 2 in the nation and the Gators sitting at No. 4, all eyes from all around the country were on Gainesville in 1999. The Gators would win 23-21 cementing their spot in Atlanta in December as the trash talking escalated. At that point in time, Tennessee hadn't won on Florida Field since 1971, but the Iceman Casey Clausen broke the streak, leading UT to 2001 and 2003 victories at the Swamp. When push comes to shove, Gator Nation can do without an immediate trip to Pasadena. But the expectations each year call for the Gators to land in Atlanta and play for the SEC Championship.

52, ALLIGATOR E NEW STUDENT EDITION, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 Soccer hopes to rediscover postseason success E SEVEN SENIORS HOPE TO LEAD THE GATORS TO A SEC TITLE. By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS -Alligator Writer sdvanness@alligator.org While the UF soccer team may have bowed out of the 2004 postseason with much less grace than it would have liked, don't assume this translates into lessened expectations for the upcoming season "I'm hyped up about this year, and I think we have all the pieces," senior goalkeeper Jen Gardner said. "It will just be a matter of putting the puzzle together. "After seeing what we've done during the off-season, I think our team stacks up pretty tough this year," Gardner said. "Anything less than an SEC regular season title or an SEC Tournament title will definitely be a disappointment." The optimism doesn't stop with the players. Coach Becky Burleigh expects to see great things from her squad when they open at home Aug. 26 against Drake. "We're a good team, an athletic team, and it's all going to depend on how we come together," Burleigh said. "We always want to be one of the top teams, and I think that we have what it takes to do so this year." The Gators' success in 2005 may revolve around how well they recover from a disappointing conclusion to last year's postseason. In 2004, the Gators racked up 13 wins in the regular-season, surging through the SEC Tournament to defeat Tennessee for the conference titlg. But the team fell flat in a first-round NCAA tournament loss to in-state rival Central Florida. "We were very upset with the way our season ended," Gardner said. "Losing in the first round to a team we felt we could have beaten was difficult. "To come all that way, to win the SEC Tournament and then to fall in game one of the NCAA's was a bit of a let-down." The Gators haven't had much trouble in recent regular seasons, but after winning the national title in 1998 and reaching the final four in 2001, early postseason exits have become the norm. This year's roster will feature seven seniors. If the Gators are to return to a championship level, the burden may be placed on the veterans. "A lot of our success this season will depend on how our seniors handle themselves," Burleigh said. "We have a great class and if they can handle the responsibility, they can take us a long way." -The leadership of its seniors will a be crucial element for an offense that will have to rely on younger and relatively unproven names after losing its top scoring threat in two-time SEC Player of the Year Stephanie Freeman. Coach Burleigh said she believes that it is too early to tell who will step up to provide an offensive threat, but that there is plenty of talent to fill the void. "We lost a lot of good players and a good senior class last year, but we've replaced them with -some great players as well," Burleigh said. "We have a lot of depth at forward with new and returning players. "We've 'gotten some great contributions from our freshmen and younger players in the past years, and we hope that this year is no exception." 51bs of Whey .$29.00Free Workout with this ad!

University of Florida!ICareer Resource Center 7 Division of Student Affairs Educating Leaders for a Global Community UF VOLLEYBALL Collymore crucial to Gators' offense, By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer This summer brought the early departures of key UF athletes such as Matt Walsh, Anthony Roberson, Channing Crowder and Ciatrick Fason, but arguably UF's most dominant team-sport athlete will still be donning orange and blue this season. Already a two time AllAmerican volleyball player, Jane Collymore will enter her senior season as the key component to the Gators' offensive attack-an attack that is ranked eighth in the nation, and will look to win its 15th consecutive Southeastern Conference title. Of course, when you are as physically gifted as Collymore, the pressure seems a little less daunting. "Athletically, Jane is in the same group as some of the elite athletes we've had come through this program," Coach Mary Wise said. "She's a special talent because of her jump and foot-speed." Collymore capitalized on that athleticism last season en route to SEC Player of the Year honors and All-American status. Her 604 kills and 707. points last season both rank second in school history. But while she will look-to build upon those numbers, it is her leadership skills that she has truly set out to improve this year. "I think that when I first realized I would have to take ona leadership role, I would always kind of see myself as a lead-by-example type of leader," Collymore said. "But I have been working on becoming more vocal, because although that's not something that is as natural for .me, I think it is important to the team for me to be more vocal." Leadership aside, it is Collymore's ability to get high above the net that has been driving opposing teams crazy. "She jumps so high, you can throw a ball up to the ceiling and she'd go up and get it," sophomore setter Angie McGinnis said. "She just hits so much higher than most people do." Collymore attributes most of her success to her coaches and to her commitment to the game. "Coming out of high school, I didn't have a lot of experience under my belt at all, but I know that I had a lot of potential, and I just wanted to sit back and absorb as much as I could," Collymore said. "I knew I always wanted to do great things in the sport and I had potential, it was just a matter of getting the right experience and the right instruction." This summer, Collymore was selected as the starting outside Coiiymore hitter for the U.S. Women's National Team in the Pan American Cup, and she aspires to make the U.S. Olympic team once her playing days at UF come to an end. But for now, Collymore will direct her focus on the upcoming season, where the Gators will look to recover from a hard-fought luss to eventual National Champion Stanford in last year's NCAA tournament. For a perennial powerhouse like the Gators, the goal is always to win a national title, and Collymore may be the key to achieving that goal. "Jane has the physical ability to dominate a match," Wise said. "She is the type of player that can take a team to the next level. To be successful, you have to have a player like that."

MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.prg -7T T:,7M7 a& low h Iviallbun ml vvqDbqu L;w oftomt; uti By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramson@alligator.org Urban Meyer walked off UF's practice field like a coach that had seen his players for exactly one day. With the pads still noticeably absent, Meyer said there were no surprises and no real progress. But for a coach spending his first summer in the humid swamp of Gainesville, two-a-days weren't exactly a welcoming sight. "It looked like day one. It was thick out here, it's one of my first summers at UF," said a visibly tired Meyer. "We've got a long way to go.'' The Gators returned to practice on Aug. 8 amid big expectations, playing under a coach receiving plenty of attention. Still several days away from donning pads, the Gators may not have accomplished much in day one. But the Gators couldn't help but notice a fresh feeling brewing on the field. "Hell yeah," said safety Jarvis Herring, when asked if Meyer's two-a-days felt different than those in years past. "It's all about getting up and going. We've got a new thing going on. Nobody's half-stepping." UF's practice sessions moved to the southwest side of campus this season while the regular practice field undergoes a $1 million renovation. So with a large crowd watching from the intramural field bleachers, all eyes were on UF's most anticipated position battle. Deshawn Wynn, Skyler Thornton and Markus Manson each have two weeks to show they should be the one to replace last year's SEC leader in rushing yards, Ciatrick Fason. "Even our receivers looked heavy-legged. But Markus Manson came out and bounced around today. I noticed him." Urban Meyer UF football coach After leading the team in rushing touchdowns two years ago, Wynn went from a solid No. 2 behind Fason early last year to an injuryridden player who Ron Zook accused of lacking a strong work ethic by the end of the season. On the first day of practice, Meyer said that Wynn had a solid summer, but rumors have swirled throughout practice regarding Wynn's status for opening day. Meyer wouldn't deny or confirm rumors that Wynn may be suspended at the start of the season. In the end, it may not matter because Meyer said he was really impressed by Manson, a redshirt freshman. "[I liked Manson's] speed and bounce," Meyer said on Aug. 8. "It's heavy out here. The guys ran this morning and they looked heavy-legged. Even our receivers looked heavy-legged. But Markus Manson came out and bounced around today. I noticed him." From a physical standpoint, Manson may be ready, but he said he's still adjusting to the college level. "I want to improve on my mental aspect of the game and be ready on Sept. 3 when my number gets called," Manson said. Thornton, meanwhile, ended up as the No. 2 back when Wynn went out of the lineup last season. While Wynn and Manson may receive most of the attention, Thornton isn't out of the picture for the top job. "Last year nobody really gave me a chance, so I showed people what I could do toward the end of the season," Thornton said. "Now, going into two-a-days and going into the season, I feel very confident." Meyer said-he won't name a starter for several weeks. So while the Gators still have a few issues to work out, the players expect Meyer to figure it out by the St. 3 season opener against Wyoming. "We've got to create some depth right now. When we've got more depth, it could be something special," Herring said. "Everybody's going hard, and it could be a great season for us." UF offers plenty of sports for fans, those looking to avoid homework If the onslaught of orange and blue splattered across campus. hasn't made you violently ill yet, congratulations. You're on your way to becoming a true Gators fan. Welcome, newbies. You've just entered the Twilight Zone, commonly referred to as the UF sports program. Try to maintain your composure the first Saturday you walk out of the dorm and witness an invasion of RVs. No need to call the Homeland Security office, people simply treat Gators football like it's a cross between a gladitor fight and Woodstock. Be thankful that you arrived in Gainesville at the right time. Unless you're a fan of underadieving -and judging by your 1590 SAT score and 4.2 GPA, you're probably not -it's been a bit ugly the last few seasons. But just a year after UF became the joke of ESPN's College Gameday and the punching bag of unheralded teams like Mississippi State, it's suddenly hip to be a Gators fan. New football coach Urban Meyer has replaced Jesus as the official religious icon of Gainesville (once again, they don't take football lightly in this town). Still, despite what you may have heard from Daddy Alurmnus,-it's not all about football. Few college basketball tearns have boasted more talent than UF throughout the '00s. Recent postseason woes aside, Billy Donovan and the Gators are one of the hottest shows in town. Try to nab a Rowdy Reptiles seat sometime this year, because standing near courtside for the UF-Kentucky game is just as thrilling as any football experience. And don't forget about college baseball. Fresh off a trip to the final round of the College World Series, the UF baseball team features more talent than the Tampa Bay Andrew Devil Rays. If you like Abramson offense, college baseball Drew's Control is your game. aabramson@aligator.org If you're still not satisfied, there are plenty of other UF sports to fill your fix. And don't pass up a chance to watch Gainesville's minor league college basketball team that plays down the road at Santa Fe. The Saints play an up-tempo, exciting, egoless brand of basketball. But remember -even though you weren't a five-star football recruit or Mr. Florida Basketball,you, Mr. And Ms. Joe Student, can play sports at UF. The wonderful world of sport clubs and intramurals is the perfect solution to losing those "freshman 15." If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll get it after a few 2 a.m. fast food runs. And best of all, you can get the most indepth Gators sports coverage worldwide for FREE everyday in those beautiful orange Alligator boxes found around campus and beyond.
