Pepsi takes



over at UF

New beverage vendor

serves mostly bottles

By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org

Where once there was Barq's, now there is Mug.
;tarbucks Doubleshot is the new caffeine fix instead of
\qestea. All that was once Coke is officially Pepsi.
Vending machines throughout campus have been
;wapped since a contract between UF and Pepsi Bottling
group went into effect Aug. 16, ending the university's 40-
rear relationship with Florida Coca-Cola Bottling Co.
"It's been a seamless transition,"
Pepsi spokeswoman Amy Polacko said.
Many students, though, expressed
dissatisfaction with UF's new vendor.
"There are no cans," graduate stu-
dent Dan Dawson said, "so you can't
pay 60 cents you have to pay at least
a dollar."
Phillips UF Business Services Division
Director Jim Morgan said the majority
of campus Pepsi machines vend bottles. The advantage
of bottles is that they are resealable, he said, adding that
canned sodas will be "extinct" in five or 10 years.
Other students simply preferred Coke's beverages to
Pepsi's.
"I was disappointed because I didn't think the student
body was given a chance to vote on this matter," health sci-
ence junior Tracy Mackoy said.
Morgan said the decision to change UF's soft-drink
sponsor was wholly a financial one.
"If you know of a better way for the University of
Florida to generate about $30 million over 10 years, please
let me know," he said.
Morgan said the Pepsi contract differs from the Coca-
Cola contract in that it gives the UF administration more
freedom with Pepsi's money.
In past years, Coca-Cola allocated money to various UF
organizations, such as the University Athletic Association,
Student Affairs and the Department of Housing. Now, all
the money Pepsi makes at UF goes into a concession fund
controlled by UF President Bernie Machen.
"He sort of corralled all of that from all the sources,"
Morgan said. "Exactly what that's going for, I could not
tell you."
Another major bidding advantage of Pepsi's was its
ownership of the Gatorade brand, the royalties of which
bring UF more than $3 million per year, Morgan said.
Coca-Cola's Powerade was banned from campus dur-
ing the soda giant's reign. Though Gatorade vending ma-
chines have always been allowed at UF, Pepsi's sponsor-
ship marks the first time a sports drink will be available at

New options available for Webmail


By ASHLEY JONES
Alligator Contributing Writer

Though UF will no longer allow stu-
dents to forward their GatorMail to other
accounts starting Oct. 1, they still will be
able to read UF mail in their preferred
account through a retrieval system, a
Student Affairs official said Wednesday.
The university decided in Spring to
end the forwarding service because large
providers like AOL and Yahoo! routinely
filter out UF mail because they cannot
tell the difference between legitimate and
junk e-mails, said Michael Rollo, associate
vice president for Student Affairs.
"E-mails are being blocked by these
providers, and students are missing out
on important information the university
is legally required to give them," he said.
The university began encouraging
students to use their GatorMail accounts
separately in Spring, but many have not

yet switched over.
"Students who enrolled past April 2005
have not had the option of forwarding
their GatorMail," Rollo said. "We hoped
this would make the transition easier."
When spam blockers reject a forward-
ed e-mail, it literally disappears, Rollo
said. The university suggests students set
up their alternate
UF e-mail accounts
Administration so they are
able to retrieve
mail from their
GatorMail accounts if they prefer to con-
solidate their mail.
Marc Hoit, the interim associate pro-
vost for information technology, said-this
alternative method is safer than forward-
ing because the original e-mail is kept in
the GatorMail account.
With this method, students are able to
set up their alternate account to "collect"
mail from their GatorMail accounts, Hoit

said. If the mail does not appear in the
preferred account, students can still access
the message in their UF account because it
will be in the UF server.
After Oct. 1, UF will discontinue the
forwarding option and force students to
go to their GatorMail accounts, Hoit said.
Students, faculty and staff will be able
to forward messages from their UF ac-
counts only if they are forwarding to an-
other UF account, such as those who have
accounts within colleges or departments
at UF, Rollo said.
Rollo said he hopes more students will
be attracted to the UF portal when they
start to log in to their GatorMail accounts.
The portal has a lot of important infor-
mation and news that would be helpful to
.students, he said.
The university has provided a Web
site for students with e-mail policies
at www.it.ufl.edu/training/email/
#freeemail.

Prevalence of overweight and obesity among
U.S. adults, age 20 and older

Results from the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES), using measured heights and weights, indicate that an estimated 65
percent of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese. As shown in the table,
this represents a prevalence that is 16 percent higher than the age-adjusted
overweight estimates obtained from NHANES III (1988-94).

UF issues students a 100 million-minute challenge


By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org

The drive to make UF a Top 10
public university doesn't stop with
faculty and staff.
With rising admission, standards
and continued calls for leadership
and campus involvement, admin-
istrators are looking to all students
to meet or exceed the accomplish-
ments of previous classes.
So far, administrators like what
they've seen.
"I've had a chance to get to
know a good cross-section of the
students," said Patricia Telles-Irvin,
vice president for Student Affairs. "I


think they're all starting to be lead-
ers in one way or another."
After spending a year at UF, she
describes UF students as talented,
ambitious, creative and loyal to the
university.
"That's always very refreshing to
see the connection [to UF], because
that's what we're all about," she
said.
To further the connection be-
tween students and the commu-
nity, UF's Center -for Leadership
and Service challenged students
last week to help donate 100 million
minutes of service along with SFCC
students and local residents.
Alana Rush, the center's student
manager, said the 100 million-min-


ute challenge, which kicks off Sept.
10 and runs until mid-April, will
expose students to issues they typi-
cally won't encounter at UF.
"I think
Sit's especially
relevant in the
S Gainesville com-
munity because
there are so many
issues students
don't normally
Telles-Irvin come into contact
UF vice president for with," Rush said.
student affairs "They forget that
there's a whole
community outside of campus."
The challenge, which will total
more than 15 years of volunteer


hours if the goal is met, encourages
students to give back both individu-
ally and as part of student organiza-
tions and volunteer groups.
Rush added that community ser-
vice not only improves the local area,
but it also puts students into contact
with local leaders and teaches them
valuable lessons about giving back
in whatever way they can.
"We're teaching them to be citi-
zens of the state, the nation and the
world," Rush said.
"If you move five miles or 15,000
miles away, you can apply what
you've learned."
The challenge is scheduled to
end April 11, following a week of
community-service activities.


Service projects in Gainesville
include volunteering downtown
for the homeless population, as well
as building houses with Habitat
for Humanity -and arranging pet
adoption through organizations like
Gainesville Pet Rescue.
The type of-community volun-
teer work called for in the challenge
will help show all students their part
of a world larger than UE.
"I want to see our students
understand that they are part of a
global community," she said.
Telles-Irvin added that she has
encouraged Accent, UF's speakers'
bureau, to bring in speakers on the
topic of globalization, such as author
Thomas Friedman.

UF board steamed over 'Bodies'


* THE EXHIBIT OPENED IN
TAMPA ON AUG. 18.

By NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Staff Writer
nhughes@alligator.org
The debate over a controversial
exhibit featuring cadavers con-
tinues to grab national headlines,
with a UF-based board caught in
the middle.
The Anatomical Board of the
State of Florida, which works from
the university, found "BODIES,
the Exhibition" to be in violation
of state laws regarding public dis-
play of corpses. The board took is-
sue with the lack of consent forms
for display of the bodies, which
are unclaimed and from China.
The exhibit features 20 com-
plete cadavers posed in a variety
of positions, as well as more than
260 organs and body parts. The
goal of the exhibit is to showcase
the abilities of the human body to
the general public.
The board's decision, made
Aug. 17, did not stop the exhibit's
host, Tampa's Museum of Science
and Industry, from opening the
show to the public two days early.
The executive director of
the Anatomical Board, Lynn J.
Romrell, said the museum was
able to open the exhibit despite the


board's ruling because state laws
do not provide a penalty for such
a violation.
"If the law is not accurately
written, then it needs to be re-writ-
ten," Romrell said.
Though the board didn't take
action, Romrell said the exhibit is
still in violation of Florida law.
"They need to review the
whole situation and deter-
mine whether laws should
be enacted to control the
public display of human
bodies."
Lynn J. Romrell
Anatomical Board executive director

"They have no release from the
families of these people," he said.
"These were unclaimed bodies in
the exhibit."
Romrell said he believes the
government should do something
to clarify the legality of such dis-
plays.
"There needs to be review of
this type of display by federal
lawmakers," he said. "They need
to review the whole situation and
determine whether laws should be
enacted to control the public dis-
play of human bodies."
The 4-2 decision was reached


after Florida Attorney General
Charlie Crist said the exhibit fell
under the jurisdiction of the board,
which is part of the UF Health
Science Center.
"We took an action, and the
attorney general said that the law
was vague enough that no action
could be taken," Romrell said.
MOSI's argument is that the
laws cited pertain only to corpses
that are being used for educational
purposes"for medical students. A
spokeswoman did not return calls
to explain the museum's position.
However, Crist stated in a letter
to Romrell that while Florida stat-
utes "specifically refer to 'medical
education,' it does not limit that
education to medical students."
The controversy has not dis-
couraged visitors from seeing the
exhibit, which attracted more than
12,000 attendees in its first four
days, breaking museum records,
according to The Associated Press.
Citing examples of similar
controversies around the nation,
Romrell said the issues surround-
ing the BODIES exhibit will not go
away until they have been settled
legally.
"We're not the only people who
are looking at this in a way with
concern for, proper ethical use of
the bodies," he said. "Informed
consent is a major issue."

Editorial


Empty words

UF officials focus on the

wrong issues
UF administrators have been deliberating Gainesville's
drinking problem for more than six months.
They formed committees. They brought in "ex-
perts." They formed subcommittees. And then they spent half
of Spring and all of Summer discussing and devising solutions
to this rampant problem.
With all the fuss and time, we could only assume their find-
ings would be momentous or at least somewhat intelligent.
But yet again our academic leaders have led us astray. The
three subcommittees formed to discuss alcohol culture, access
and enforcement unveiled their recommendations Tuesday to
the big committee of university and city officials that spawned
them. (We know it's all very confusing.)
What are their brilliant ideas?
Almost identical to the ones they came up with at their very
first meeting last Spring.
Create alternative alcohol-free activities. Make vendors re-
sponsible for checking IDs.-Punish crime.
Are these guys serious?
When the subcommittees- were formed last Spring, mem-
bers promised to research how to implement these base ideas.
Instead, they're back at square one. How is that even possible?
Although UF President Bernie Machen has made significant
changes to the university since he became president more than
a year ago, a flurry of meaningless public-relations campaigns
have also increased since his inauguration;
In the case of his valiant fight against binge drinking, the
only real step he took was to forbid alcohol advertisements at
the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. And that hardly even counts;
the vast majority of past O'Connell Center events never had
alcohol sponsors in the first place.
But this whole alcohol business is just one aspect of adminis-
trators' empty efforts over the last year.
Branding is another. After paying a firm $85,000 to come up
with the motto "an unparalleled university experience that lasts
a lifetime," administrators chose to scrap it all and replace it
with "the foundation for The Gator Nation."
We couldn't make something like this up. It sounds like a
line from a "Sesame Street" song.
We thought college was about education. Apparently, UF
officials would rather market us as Disney World. It's no mis-
take that our vice president of University Relations is a former
Disney employee.
Perhaps the best way to gain respect (and, of course, money)
is to be a good university. Other state schools already recognize
UF as the forerunner of Florida public universities. That defer-
ence didn't come from our dashing logos and cute mottos. It
was developed because our students and faculty continue to
improve. And now administrators want to give us a slogan that
makes us the laughing stock of academia? And put that on TV?
Not only is the new slogan idiotic, it uses the phrase "The
Gator Nation," a term associated with our sports program.
Wasn't this whole thing supposed to be about our faculty and
students?
Machen rightly argues UF needs much more money to con-
tinue its climb to be one of the Top 10 research universities. But
will those funds make up for the loss of respect?
Machen is steering more toward how UF is perceived than
how our university actually educates. Maybe focusing on the
academic experience will solve both of the original problems:
Students might be more motivated to go toclass than to drink,
and potential benefactors might find the university a more
worthwhile investment because of its reputation.

Consumers need to kick gas addiction


someone crack a window; America's got a gas prob-
lem.
At more than $66 a barrel, the price of U.S. oil is
higher than Snoop Dogg at a cannabis convention. On a
brighter note, it's a.monstrous 83 cents less than the all-
time record high of $67.10 set in early August.
About a month ago, in the face of summer recess and
a triple-dog dare from President Bush, Congress finally
passed a bill addressing the nation's energy problems.
While Congress took some steps toward appeasing
American energy consumption, it was more like feeding
Lady Liberty the crumbs of a half-eaten PowerBar.
The bill does little, if anything, to address America's
exorbitant consumption of gasoline and our dependence
on foreign oil. Not to mention it gave a $9 billion tax break
to oil and gas companies like ExxonMobil, a company that
enjoyed a record-breaking $25 billion profit last year.
Congress should have done the right thing by raising
fuel economy standards. They chose to side with the auto-
motive industry instead, thus ignoring the quickest, easi-
est and most technologically feasible solution to- address
America's excessive consumption of gasoline.
Conveniently, President Bush's own Environmental
Protection Agency delayed the release of a report high-
lighting America's non-existent improvement in fuel ef-
ficiency until after the energy bill had been passed. The
report showed that the average 2004 model car or truck
gets about 6 percent fewer miles per gallon than the aver-
age new vehicle sold in the late 1980s.
It also said major improvements in engine technology
mostly have been used to make cars faster, not more fuel-
efficient. Merely further testament to the male popula-
tion's preoccupation with penis size.


Aaron Blye Finally, as a result of governmen-
Blye's Eyes tal criticism and uncontrollable cry-
ablye@alligator.org ing at gas pumps, the White House
recently proposed higher fuel econ-
omy standards for pickup trucks,
minivans and some sport utility vehicles.
Top administration officials said their plan would save
10 billion gallons of gasoline over nearly two decades.
Under current consumption trends, that amount would
last a whopping 25 days.
Ironically, Secretary of Transportation Norman Y.
Mineta announced the plan at a news conference in Los
Angeles, where he arrived in a silver Lincoln Navigator.
According to the federal government, leading by example
is overrated and, shockingly, the responsibility to address
America's problems once again resides with the people.
But don't be scared, America. Making a difference, al-
beit a slight one, is easier than one might think. Cars and
light trucks SUVs, vans and pickups account for about
40 percent of all U.S. oil consumption. The solution here
is simple stop buying vehicles that can transport a little
league baseball team by day and enter a monster truck
rally by night.
Gasoline has become a drug, and the automotive in-
dustry is its pusher.
If the federal government won't force automotive mak-
ers to build more fuel-efficient cars, then the American
people must guide the market in that direction. Companies
like Honda and Toyota make highly efficient vehicles, and,
surprisingly, many of them are built in the United States.
In the meantime, place all blame for our dependence on
foreign oil on soccer mom's and famous rappers.
Aaron Blye is a political campaigning graduate student.

Asian American students slighted in hiring of assistant dean


rO Monday, the Dean of Students Office told to the Asian
.american Student Union, or AASU, and the South
.sian American Student Alliance, or SAASA, that the
c urre, t graduate student of multicultural and diversity affairs
i. Til noi. be the graduate assistant of Asian Pacific American
.-tair-. Additionally, the dean's office has created a new posi-
tonr the assistant dean of multicultural and diversity affairs.
Tlus poses a problem for the Asian American community
u.,n inipus.
For more than four years, we have advocated for neces-
a3n, re- .urces, including.an Asian American Institute, Asian
Aulne an studies and a director of Asian American affairs.
Ha. ing a director is an integral component for our campus,
dis t- person can advocate for Asian American rights and re-
oI.~cE-.s They can aid with programming, facilitate students'
nccd- at the administrative level and ensure the university is a
salt aind accepting place.


Sandy Chiu In postponing the hiring
Preeti Sharma of an Asian American direc-
Speaking Out tor, the administration is not
answering the needs of both
the Asian American commu-
nity and the UF students. Currently, in the multicultural and
diversity affairs department, three of the mair groups (Institute
of Black Culture, Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures and
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs) have full time
directors. Two of these groups have graduate assistants.
We are in support of these positions and recognize the con-
tributions those directors make toward our campus.
However, despite many years of being one of the most ac-
tive groups on campus and constantly advocating for resourc-
es, the administration on this campus has once again pushed
back our needs for the greater multicultural and diversity
affairs division.


The Asian American community understands the need for a
multicultural affairs assistant dean.
However, in seeking to hire an assistant dean of multicul-
tural and diversity affairs, the administration has indicated the
search for an Asian American director is not a top priority.
Again; Asian Americans are marginalized on campus and
are asked to make a sacrifice they should not have to make.
Asian Americans make up 7 percent of the student body
and have. one of the largest populations on campus. In past
meetings with administrators, AASU and SAASA members
were told an Asian American director was a top priority. Now
it seems as if we have a long way to go before equaling other
multicultural groups on campus.
AASU and SAASA will continue to fight for resources on
this campus, including that of an Asian American director.
Sandy Chiu is president of AASU. Preeti Sharma is president of
SAASA.

Secular radicals pitted against feasible intelligent design


In i'25, Tennessee schoolteacher John
Scopes was convicted of violating a state
!.ai prohibiting the teaching of any theo-
r., .. t bi,..logical existence (namely, evolution)
.eLhcr Lhan creationism.
Ei htv years later, we have come full circle.
ChnJ today what is prohibited is not evolu-
bton but creationism. Regardless of which side
is right censorship is wrong. It was wrong in
i'2'l and it remains wrong in 2005.
E arber this month, President Bush of-
fend :i some in closed-minded society when
he -u:Gested public schools should present
the lh<:> *ry of intelligent design alongside the
thic.rv i, evolution. Intelligent design sug-
,-ti tLhat the diversity and complexity of life
-.rn erth is so great it cannot be adequately
L'\plaind by the theory of evolution.
Cnt:i s immediately pounced on Bush's
-ia tcnment as evidence thathe is a Bible-thump-


ing, ignorant hick whose proposal would un-
dermine students' understanding of science;
The National Academy of Sciences has railed
against "increasingly strident attempts to limit
the teaching of evolution."
Those who believe that intelligent design
poses a threat to science are as mistaken as
those who believed the world was flat.
First of all, if anyone is limiting teaching, it
is the secularist radicals.
Thanks to their labors, there is not a mar-
ketplace of competing ideas in our public
schools today, but only a monopoly of evolu-
tionary theory.
In contrast, Bush made it cear he did not
advocate the advancement of intelligent de-
sign as the only theory. Bush stated that both
theories should be taught "to expose people to
different schools of thought" so that "people
can understand what the debate is about."
Even when I attended a public high school


Eric Wang in New York (hardly
Sthe Bible Belt), our
U-Wire -biology textbooks pre-
sented evolution with a
prominent disclaimer that it was a theory. As
with all theories, it is possible (though scien-
tists say unlikely) it is wrong.
As Bush stated, presenting intelligent de-
sign as a critique of evolutionary theory only
enhances understanding of the latter.
Lastly, one might argue children are too
impressionable to be exposed to competing
theories.
However, the case of Richard Sternberg
shows the lie in this objection.
When Steinberg, editor of the Smithsonian
journal "The Proceedings of the Biological
Society of Washington," agreed to publish an
article on intelligent design last year, he was
ostracized by the institution.
Although Sternberg, who holds not one,


but two PhDs in evolutionary biology, does
not even necessarily believe in the theory,
that gave no pause to colleagues who falsely
accused him of being trained as an "orthodox
priest," according to The Washington Post. If
our nation's top scientists cannot discuss evo-
-lution without resorting to adolescent name-
calling, then the debate is not a-problem of age.
It is a problem of passion and prejudice.
Our country was founded on the principles
of free speech and debate. As John Stuart Mill
said, we can best arrive at the truth when there
is a marketplace of competing ideas. George
Orwell painted a grim portrait of what a so-
ciety would look like if we were ever a one-
sided orthodoxy. How a society founded on
Mill's dream has evolved-into Orwell's worst
nightmare, even Darwin would be hard-
pressed to explain. It's certainly no society any
"intelligent" designer would have conceived.
Eric Wang attends the University of Virginia.

RESEARCH

UF fights hard for its money


By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org

Research awards to UF increased
by 5 percent to a record $494 million
in 2004-2005, aiding the university
in its mission to be a Top 10 public
research university.
"Research is a critical component
in our reputation. The faculty has
remained competitive, and that com-
petitiveness helps us to attract strong
faculty and graduate students," said
Win Phillips, UF vice president for
research.
Most universities have experi-
enced an increase in research dollars
over the past few years, according to
an annual report by UF's Lombardi
Program on Measuring University
Performance. All research universi-
ties compete for the same share of
funding, and the report's findings
suggest the pot is getting bigger.
Research awards usually increase
each yearbut Phillips said this year
is particularly impressive due to
large federal grants, which increased


10.8 percent over the past year de-
spite changes in the federal govern-
ment and the war in Iraq.
"Research is a critical com-
ponent in our reputation.
The faculty has remained
competitive, and that com-
petitiveness helps us to
attract strong faculty and
graduate students."
Win Phillips
UF vice president for research

Awards to UF from federal agen-
ces such as the National Institutes
of Health and the National Science
Foundation rose by $30.9 million
in the past year. Awards from the
institute increased 15 percent to $130
million despite only minor increases
in the budget for grants.
Private funding has also in-
creased, with foundation awards ris-
ing by 16.5 percent to $57.5 million
last year.


"Private funding is not as big a
part as federal, but as we look for
sources to diversify, and as we grow
bigger, we look for a diversity of
sources in order to compete strong-
ly," Phillips said.
With a stronger focus on private
funding, UF was able to obtain
grants from foundations such as
the W.M. Keck Foundation, which
awarded $875,000 to the astronomy
department.to build a new instru-
ment for planetary detection.
The increase in award money is
partially due to the 13 percent in-
crease in grant proposals sent out.
Faculty and graduate students sent
out 4,903 proposals in the past year.
"With no proposals, there's no
money. The fact that the faculty put
out an increased number of propos-
als increased the probability, but we
also won. We put out more propos-
als, and then we got the money,"
Phillips said. "It's a very competitive
business."
The 5 percent increase in awards
is also due to the focus on interdisci-
plinary research, Phillips said.

UF facility searching for better ways to pack food


* RESEARCHERS ARE
WORKING WITH SEVERAL
COMPANIES ON INVENTIONS.

By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer

Smarter food packaging has
spawned its own UF research cen-
ter with almost $1 million in fund-
ing from companies that supply
stores like Publix and Wal-Mart.
Three major projects are under-
way this Fall at UF's Center for


Food Distribution and Retailing,
which has been around for more
than a year. Researchers focus
on projects with companies that
handle the quality and distribu-
tion of perishable goods based
on recommendations made by
a group of representatives from
food vendors.
"We have an advisory board
made up of retail stores that sell
food," center Director Jeffrey
Brecht said.
The center operates and re-


ceives funding solely through
these research projects, with three
"large research grants" compris-
ing the center's focus.
The three companies funding
the grants all address different
steps in the food distribution
process.
To develop a smarter refrigera-
tion system for foods, the center is
working with Ingersoll-Rand Co.
on sensors for packages to keep
the temperature controlled.
For packaging development,


the center is working with IPL, a
plastics company, to better pre-
serve the products inside.
"It's all related to having qual-
ity food at the retail level," Brecht
said.
LUe The third com-
esarch pany the center is
working with is
Franwell, which donated radio-
frequency identification tags to
the center's lab, Brecht said.
The tags will allow products
to be tracked from the first stages


of production until the consumer
purchases the item.
"The companies have given
more than $250,000 each," -Brecht
said.
Working at the center are 25 UF
faculty members from six differ-
ent departments, he said. The goal
is to take existing faculty at the
university to work together as a
multidisciplinary research group
on projects with the companies
that actually handle the food,
Brecht said.

All for ainesville

BY TUNE CAPIELLO

5iSter /az reminsce, move forward S


I t's been eight years since Sister
Hazel played for an audience of
more than 70,000 people at UF's
Gator Growl.
This year, there will be a differ-
ent kind of homecoming for the
band that put Gainesville back on
the music map with its hit "All For
You," decades after artists such as
Tom Petty first brought attention to
the scene.
Sister Hazel will perform Sept.
16 at the Phillips Center for the
Performing Arts, where it played a
year ago.
"We had a' great time at the
show last year," lead singer Ken
Block said. "We like to get back (to
Gainesville) as much as we can."
Gainesville is important to the
members of the band for many
reasons.
Block and- rhythm guitarist
Andrew Copeland grew up here,
and the band has played virtually
every pub, bar and coffeehouse in
town.
"Gainesville has been so support-
ive of the band," Block said. "There
are so many people in Gainesville
that have their fingerprints on this
band and who we are as people."
Block said he hopes the audi-
ence will participate and sing along
- like most of their other shows.
- as this year's venue tends to have
a "watching audience."
But that should be no problem
for fans of Sister Hazel; the acces-
sibility of the band has nurtured a
great sense of community between
fans they even call themselves
"Hazelnuts."
"We've been fortunate to have
such a hardcore fan base," Block
said. "I think that's why we've been
able to do what we've done for as
long as we have."
Although college students have
always been the band's core audi-
ence, Sister Hazel takes pride in
allowing parents and their children
to find common ground through its
music.
Block is putting a book together
of testimonies from fans on how
Sister Hazel's music has connected
with them and changed their lives.
"Whether it's, I sobered up
after dealing with addictions,' or 'I
started a new business I've always
wanted to open' ... when you hear


that it's changing people's lives,
it's like 'Wow, I'm doing the right
thing,'" Block said.
Perhaps one of the reasons the
band has such a passionate follow-
ing are the events Sister Hazel hosts
'to bring its tight-knit community
together.
The Rock Boat started .out as a
"thank you" for Sister Hazel fans in
2001. The band reserved half a cruise
ship to play for fans and interact
with them.
"We took the whole boat the next
year," Block said. "It's an absolutely
indescribable musical experience."
Now in its fifth year, The Rock
Boat will host 30 bands to play on
a cruise ship reserved entirely for
fans. Tickets sold out in just two
days a total of 2,500 people plus
work crew.
Artists on The Rock Boat will in-
clude O.A.R., Stroke 9 and Cowboy Bc
Mouth. In addition to The Rock
Boat, Sister Hazel also hosts .The
Rock Slope, an event with the same
idea of bringing the band and fans Sister Hazel is sc
together, but set in the mountains ofGainesville, expe
Steamboat Springs, Colo.
"We've always been very accessi- "You just have

The past few albums have been

ner up with a major label for its next
release.

But that's
not to say
playing 125
shows a year
and hosting
ents like The Rock


Boat isn't challeng-
ing. All five of the band
members are married, and three
members have children.
"We transitioned from being col-
lege kids who never miss a party to
bouncing on the road and support-
ing our families," Block said. "We all
put our families first because if that


goes well, then everything else is go-
ing to go well."
Bob McPeek, former owner of the
local Mirror Image Studios, worked
with the band in the mid-'90s before
it reached national recognition and
was there to record the hit song
"All for You" on several different
occasions.
"They were willing to play to six
people at the Newberry Watermelon
Festival," he said. "They had a really
good work ethic, and they're good
people."
Block still recalls times when
there were more people on stage
than in the audience.
"We just made sure that the next
time there would be eight people in
the crowd instead of
five," he said.
It's exactly that
type of attitude that HRE
has brought Sister 10.00(
Hazel success.
"Whatever was in
the water in the '70s "
was in the water in the i
'90s," McPeek said.
"And they're still out :.
there, still doing it." E
In that sense, the


members of Sister Hazel have
always felt like ambassadors for
Gainesville, though only two mem-
bers currently reside in the city.
"We're very, very proud of the
city and very, very proud of the
University of Florida and Santa Fe,"
Block said.
But at home, the best way for the
members of Sister Hazel to represent
Gainesville would be to put on the
best show they can at the Phillips
Center. -
"Ijust hope [the audience is] loud
and involved," Block said. "That's
how most of our shows go."

available at the Phillips Center Box
Office at (352) 392-2787.

known as MoeFest. Added to the pressure of promoting
one of Gainesville's largest annual events and talking to
annoying reporters, Rodriguez also blew out his back.
He braved the pain and answered questions about his
namesake event.
BO: What is the official name of the event?
MR: Gainesville Summer and Film Showcase 2005. Films are
a question mark right now, though.
BO: How long has
the event been oc-
Brian curring?
ele Offenther MR: It's been the
Playlist Gainesville Summer
theavenue@alligator.org Music 'and Film
Showcase since
2000.
BO: So how exactly did the event get the name MoeFest?
MR: It came from Ned Davis (guitar player for ex-Gainesville
band PopCanon). He said,"I'm not calling it Gainesville
Summer and Film Showcase, it's too long!"
BO: So what is the goal of the event?
MR: The purpose is to give incoming people a chance to see
a lot of bands for cheap. People can pay $7 and see five
bands. That's cheap.
BO: I hear this is a charity event. Where does the money go?
MR: Lyrics for Life. The bands all get paid, too. Everyone
gets a little bit of everything. A lot of thanks have to go to
my sponsors, too.
BO: Any shows in particular that you are excited about?
MR: I'm excited about the Thursday show at the Pontiac
Tavern (featuring Swayze and Words Now Heard).
Really, I'm excited about all the shows. It depends on
your taste.
BO: Will MoeFest host a cameo by your guitar playing alter
ego Hans Shimutz?
MR: I'm not sure. With my bad back, I just can't be sure.
BO: Where can people find out about the event?
MR: www.promoemusic.com and
www.gainesvillebands.com on the shows page.

Music students lack promotion


While the student population at UF reached
48,000 last year, the School of Music stu-
dent population just hit 250.
Though the music school doesn't compare in size
to other Florida schools like FSU or UM, the smaller
size can be both a blessing and a
curse.
"I'm glad it's small," said
Lauren Pollock, a violin perfor-
mance junior and business minor
at UF. "You don't have to worry
about not seeing a familiar face."
However, small size has its
downside. Lack of resources and funding make indi-
vidual attention more cumbersome.
"We don't have that many classrooms, and we
are trying to keep the class size small," said Mutlu
Citim-Kepic, director for music admissions and un-
dergraduate adviser for the School of Music at UF. "If
we had more resources we could offer more courses
for non-majors, but on the other hand we do like be-
ing a small college for what we can offer our music
students."
As a music student, all majors are offered weekly


chances to perform solo in both their studio on
Wednesday and convocation on Fridays. Even
though both are open to the public, attended are
rare.
"No'college students want to listen to opera or
any type of classical music," said
Laura Bevill, a UF junior studying
Maria music and French. "Even if more
Laverghetta things were held for majors, no one
Playlist would show up."
ieavenue@alligator.org
eavenue@lligor.org Many rion-music students dis-
agree, but they feel promoting per-
formances needs to be more campus-
wide in order for there to be a substantial turnout.
"If Hendrix rose from the dead and put on a show,
no one would know about it without advertise-
ments," said Ryan Murray, an electrical engineering
senior.
Other non-music students also see the small size
as a deterrent.
"When I was in school, they only offered like two
music classes to students who were not music majors,
so even if I wanted to pursue my interest in music, I
couldn't," said Michael Scott, a UF alumnus.

'Retaliation' gets the last laugh

By CHAD SMITH
Avenue Contributing Writer

Want. Need. Have. Comedian
Dane Cook aptly named the
three discs of his new album
"Retaliation" that hit stores July
26 like it was Dale Earnhardt
and the shelves were turn four at
Daytona.
You want this album, you need
this album, and you likely already
have this album (at least on your
iPod).
"Retaliation" reached No. 4 on
the Billboard 200 chart by selling
86,000 copies in its first week.
Not since Steve Martin's "A

No. 2 has a comedy-album fared
so well (they don't count Korn.)
For those who only have

I tell you, friends,
this is $15 that you can spare and
feel good about it, even though
the DVD is essentially a genius
marketing ploy by the fine people
at Comedy Central.


Packed with all of Cook's
appearances on the cartoon
"Shorties Watchin' Shorties"
and "Crank Yankers," the show
that features puppets acting out
crank calls, as well as his uncut
and unedited (unedited being the
operative word) stand-up appear-
ances on the "Comedy Central Bar
Mitzvah Bash" and the "Roast of
Dennis Leary."
Cook, who appeared at Gator

Engvall, got back at' whoever
it was who had it coming with

But he still doesn't have the last

Partiers unite at UF


As the new nightlife writer,
I envision myself cutting
straight through the lines at
clubs as strong-muscled gentlemen
part the velvet ropes at the door for
me and my fabulous friends.
In my head, it's
like "Sex and the
City" minus the
sex, the big city
and all the Prada.
In reality, it proba-
bly won't be much
like that.
The best nights are the random
ones, and I have plenty of those.
I don't frat-hop if I can avoid it.
And I don't sit in dark rooms smok-
ing a bong. I've experienced the
best Gainesville has to offer. I've
fought with sweaty people for air to
breathe. I've stood in the humidity
outside clubs asking myself why I
bothered to blow-dry my hair, and
I've walked into places, taken two
looks around and walked right back
out.
UF students are privileged to
have such a lively, ever-changing
social scene that requires little more
than a good spontaneous group of
friends and some form of desig-


nated driver.
Even the serious, studious people
in Gainesville have something of a
social life with endless possibilities,
depending on their mood.
We have Greeks, Latins, Bohemians
and plenty of
others; shaken or
Julia Carvalho stirred, mixed to-
i gether, we've got
Night Writer \ourselves a party
theavenue@alligator.org school.
Football sea-
son amplifies our
social drive, and we wander the city
decked out in orange and blue looking
for places where we can stand, drink,
talk loudly, dance and take thousands
of pictures we'll later put on our
Webshots as proofto the world that we
go to the best college ever.
Truth is, it's easy to be sociable in
Gainesville in fact, it's harder to be
a hermit because chances are, .unless
your friends are also pre-med, they
won't let you stay home thinking about
organic chemistry in peace. They'll
keep calling and calling, and you'd bet-
ter cave forfeit your A for a chance
to be a part of the stories from the best
night ever.


OFF THE PRESS

War book skips blood, guts


SLarry Heinemann
Black Virgin Mountain: A Return
to Vietnam
S Doubleday


Larry Heinemann's "Black Virgin
Mountain: A Return to Vietnam" is not your
usual all-out, blood-and-guts war account.
For Heinemann, Vietnam wasn't a place
where men were made
into men, where one could
ultimately find himself.
Vietnam was simply
madness, violence and
corruption. Humanity at
its worst.
Heinemann's novel is a gripping memoir
and one of the finer books to come out of the
still-emerging Vietnam War-memoir genre.
The first half of the book is composed
of a number of fragmented recollections
from Heinemann's 1967-68 tour of duty in
Vietnam and the years following his return
home. Some of these fragments are hilarious
- especially Heinemann's account of his
unit's purposeful knocking down of rubber
trees, each of which the Army had to pay the
Michelin tire company a steep indemnity for.
Other moments are downright painful and
disheartening in particular Heinemann's
account of the fates of his two brothers, both
military veterans, one of whom committed
suicide and the other who simply disap-


peared.
The second half of the book transforms
itself into a Paul Theroux-esque travel nar-
rative, minus Theroux's famous sour tem-
per, and charts Heinemann's return trip to
Vietnam in the early 1990s.
Though many of his anecdotes and de-
scriptions of the Vietnamese countryside are
beautiful and quite lively, there's a remark-
able sense of distance in Heinemann's dispo-
sition toward his return to
S his former battlegrounds.
James Fleming Frankly, I would've
Off the Press liked to know more
theavenue@alligator.org
about what he was actu-
ally feeling during his
trip back or if he was
really feeling anything at all.
The highlight of the book is the sheer
quality of the prose itself. It is easily evident
in the most powerful scene in the book,
Heinemann's second-person narration of a
-wartime trip through the Cu Chi tunnels.
This is Heinemann at his best: quick,
gripping and, above all, real.
No one else in contemporary American
letters writes like Larry Heinemann. He
reminds me of Mark Twain lively and
personal, colloquial and powerful leaving
you feeling as if you haven't read him, but
simply sat across from him and listened to
him talk.
This book is strongly recommended.

DC comics trans-end time Ultimate Guide for'Infinite Crisis
DC comics transcend time Um G '
Ultimate Guide for 'Infinite Crisis' I


T I he words "October" and "crisis" probably
bring one thought to your mind.
L Midterms.
Now you're thinking, "Whoa, lady, classes
lu't -t.arted, I don't even want to think about
rimdtrnm yet," but forget school for one sec-
ond.
What should come to mind
is that Oct. 12 launches "Infinite
SCrisis" from DC Comics. r
It will be available at your
Friendly neighborhood comic book
shop.
What's "Infinite Crisis?"
Well, chum, it's only the biggest event of
comics this year.
You don't want to miss it because all the
other kids will laugh at you.
Not since 1985's "Crisis on Infinite Earths"
has DC boasted an event of these proportions.
Creators have been understandably tight-
lipped about its repercussions.
The seven-issue, series, dubbed by DC
Executive Editor Dan DiDio as "the worst day
ever in the DC Universe," has been kept quiet.
But we do know that it promises to alter or
destroy the lives and friendships of some of
your favorite DC heroes such as Superman,
Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and
the Flash forever.


At the conclusion of the new series, the en-
tire DC Universe will jump one year into the
future.
Don't we all wish we could erase time as
easy as comics do?
Merely a flip of a page and that pesky
MAC1147 midterm
I Karolena could be over.
Bielecki Still, the tricky little
Get Graphic problem of lost time
theavenue@alligator.org must be confronted.
To make up for it, DC
is producing a daring
project; a weekly comic tentatively titled "52"
to explain, in real-time, what has happened
since the one-year jump.
You'll just have to pick it up to find out how
the world is altered by the time warp.
The results promise to change the.way you
look at comics for a long time.
But before you indulge in comic-history-in-
the-making, you don't want to miss out on the
wickedly delightful back story, where every-
thing starts to fall apart.
Hopefully, this handy guide the Avenue has-
provided for you will ensure you don't skip a
beat in the lives of all the best DC comic he-
roes.
Note: Cut along the dotted lines for an easy-
to-use checklist.


Identity Crisis
Kicking everything off in 2004,
the wildly popular seven-part mini-
series by Brad Meltzer and Rags
Morales went back to press for four
printings. If the plot hasn't been
ruined for you yet, I'm not going
to spoil it. Things get complicated
for the JLA in a tear-jerking, gut-
wrenching way. Be sure to check out
the hardcover with commentary by
Meltzer and Morales, plus Morales'
sketchbook and more available Sept.
7.

Countdown To Infinite Crisis
The mammoth 80-page one-shot
written by Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka
and Judd Winick (yeah, that guy
from MTV's "Real World 3") allud-
ed to the darker days ahead for the
DCU with one mighty-contemptible
act by Maxwell Lord. Once you pick
that up, you'll be all set for the final
countdown, four six-issue minis
currently in progress, so snatch 'em
up while you still can.

The OMAC Project
"The OMAC Project" picks up


right where "Countdown" left off.
Greg Rucka and Jesus Saiz show
Sus just how heinous Maxwell Lord
can be, but fear not, he gets his just
desserts.

Rann-Thanagar War
Dave Gibbons, Ivan Reis and
Marc Campos explode with a DC
space adventure starring Adam
Strange, Green Lantern, Hawkman
and Hawkgirl as the planets Rann
and Thanagar get a little too close
for comfort.

Villains United
Hot talent Gail Simone makes it
fun to root for the bad guys. In this
series, a group of villains refuse to
join the new Secret Society of Super
Villains. It's refreshing to see a comic
about villains for a change.

Day Of Vengeance
Writer Bill Willingham (of
"Fables" :fame) spins the yam
about the Spectre, out to eliminate
all traces of magic in the DCU, but
the Shadowpact, a small group of
heroes, fights to stop him.

Craven's 'Red Eye' startles critic


Don't do well with suspenseful thriller movies. I enjoy
watching them, but for the most part I consider myself
a complete and utter wimp. I will literally jump out of
my seat and launch onto the person next to me at every
obviously planned part of the movie.
"Red Eye" wal no different, and the person I went
with will definitely never call me again.
Wes Craven strayed from his normal
horror gore to the suspense genre in his i '
latest flick.
The movie stars Rachel McAdams
(The Notebook) and Cillian Murphy
-(Batman Begins). The two are on the
same airline flight, check in at the gate
right next to each other and happen to have assigned seats
next to each other.
Coincidence? I think not.
In mid-flight, it turns out that Murphy is an assassin.
What does this have to do with McAdams?
Well, I found it to be a stretch, but McAdams runs
the hotel that Mr. Homeland Security is staying at and
Murphy needs McAdams to change the hotel room of Mr.


Homeland Security so he can murder him more conve-
niently.
Throw in your typical rock and a hard place, add in a
plane and a dash of turbulence and you have yourself a
genuine, suspense-filled thriller.
The movie is good and thoroughly entertaining. The
acting was also done surprisingly well by both McAdams
and Murphy. He plays the psycho-as-
Melissa sassin part well, especially considering
Filipkowski half of his lines are delivered.in whis-
The Reel Life pers. He comes off exactly as he is sup-
theavenue@a!ligator.org posed to cold and creepy.
Easily the best part of the movie is
the 45 minutes or so they are in the air.
Craven is a master at suspense he has proven this over
and over, so it is no surprise to me the movie was done
well.
Of course there are some parts that don't completely.
make sense and some plot holes, but nothing to severely
take away from the entertainment factor of the movie.
Audiences will enjoy "Red Eye" enough to save it from
a crash landing at the box office.


QB Vision makes game 'damn hard'


Months of enthusiastic an-
ticipation culminated when
this year's installment of
the world's most popular profes-
sional football video game series,
Madden Football 06, was released to
countless drooling fans around the
globe and they discovered something
they never would have dreamt.
They didn't really like it.
Why? QB Vision. Why? It's too
damn hard..
But I bet being an NFL quarter-
back is pretty hard too, so I insisted
on giving QB Vision a fair chance.
In case you don't know, this year
the people at EA Sports decided to
revolutionize the passing system in
Madden and add a player-controlled,
cone-shaped graphic during plays
that represents the direction and


width of the quarterback's view.
A quarterback can throw outside
his view but will throw poorly, and
the size of the cone depends on the
stats of the quarterback. In theory,
this feature sounds like a clever and
realistic addition
to an already in-
tricate and realis-
tic game. In real- [
ity, it just makes
throwing a good
pass slower.
And after more than enough
games of Madden to decide, I've
determined that with no time on
the clock and two 330-pound mon-
sters blitzing my blind side, QB
Vision is just one more thing I don't
want to have to worry about but
it doesn't ruin games, it is just a


Do
th


challenge.
So while I've already lost a big
game and given up a dozen sacks
because of QB Vision, it doesn't
make me want to stop playing. It
makes me want to get better.
I want to mas-
Brett ter QB Vision to
Kelman access the pos-
)n't Hate the Playa sible advantages
ieavenue@alligator.org it promises, like
looking a DB off
a wide receiver
or reading a draw play off the QB's
eyes.
So if you've sworn off this year's
Madden because of QB Vision, quit
your whining and next time you
bomb it downfield to Randy Moss,
look at him first. I think he likes the
attention anyway.

The New
Amsterdams
Killed or.Cured
SVagrant Records

Whatever your problems, Matt Pryor's song-
writing on The New Amsterdams' newest
release, "Killed or Cured," might help you
articulate them.
Better known as The Get Up Kids' front
man, Pryor formed The New Amsterdams
five years ago as an outlet for his darker
songs. While on tour with the Kids last year,
Pryor found himself missing home and his
family. Expecting his second child in the
coming weeks, Pryor decided it was time
to stop. After explaining his feelings to his
bandmates, he turned to pen and paper to
create what would eventually be dubbed
"Killed or Cured."
Once Pryor finished the full-length album,
Vagrant Records decided to shelve the album
until the end of the TGUK's farewell tour this
summer. After a year's wait, five tracks of
"Killed or Cured" were instead released as a
free online download.
The stripped-down, acoustic guitar-driv-
en songs on the album might be revealing
and overly depressing, but I definitely felt
assured I'm not the only one with problems.
Whether you've had a rough night or need
music for a long drive home, this set of hon-
est.songs is perfect listening.


Silverstein
Discovering the Waterfront
Victory Records


BiItI What does the music industry
think it is doing? With the re-
cent explosion of the once underground emo/
hardcore scene, the industry has signed groups
who boast more commercial appeal than musical
talent. As time passes, albums will become more
indistinguishable between these undeserving
bands. Silverstein's latest release, "Discovering
the Waterfront," is no exception.
After selling 200,000 copies of its major label
debut, the Canadian quintet didn't think twice
about altering its cookie-cutter sound for their
newest release. For "Discovering the Waterfront,"
Silverstein continued to hone its systematic
formula of songwriting, sacrificing originality
to make a more commercially-friendly album.
Behind the helm, producer/engineer Cameron
Webb (Hawthorne Heights, Sum 41) helped the
group write more power-chord heavy, catchy
chorus, ready-for-radio tunes.
If you are content listening to albums not
necessarily presenting anything new for the
genre, "Discovering..." is a well-conceived
and constructed album. Vocalist Shane Told
improved his lines on the album by singing in
a more comfortable register and screaming more
sporadically. The music from the rest of the band
is solid; no more and no less. However, until
Silverstein becomes less concerned with
money and fame than music, its albums will
continue to fail at impressing anyone.

With some stretch of imagina-
tion, the Cabana Cove Caribbean
Grille resembles one of the tropical
nooks parked on the shores of an
exotic island 300
miles south of
the Florida coast.
Cabana Cove
is tucked behind
Garden Gate
Nursery, a few
hundred yards
off Northwest 43rd Street, where
the traffic noise fades and trees are
abundant. The scenic atmosphere
can be enhanced by dining outside
on a covered, wooden porch that
nearly wraps around the restau-
rant.
And if I was merely charmed by
Cabana Cove's secluded location
or its palm-tree-and-bamboo de-
cor, its delicious Caribbean dishes
won me over. The food's authen-
ticity matched the steel-drum mu-
sic playing over the restaurant's
speakers.
For my entree, I finally settled
on the mahi mahi with the citrus


coriander rub and banana lime
salsa. The salsa on the mahi mahi
comforted my palate with the
subtle blend of sweet and sour.
However, next time I'd choose a
different rub because the citrus
coriander was not as explosively
tasteful as I'd
anticipated.
Chan Tran At this
News Bites point, I had
theavenue@alligator.org more than my
stomach could
handle, but I
could not pass
up dessert especially for one
with a fun name like Cabana
Banana. Shaped in what I can
only describe as a "banana boat,"
the fruit is split down the middle,
misted with rum and stuffed with
nuts, chocolate chips and coco-
nut flakes baked into the skin.
A spoonful of the dessert with
whipped cream and chocolate
syrup nearly melted me. This
banana dessert was a fun and de-
licious way to get my daily potas-
sium amount.

broke up with his noisy girl-
friend, he immediately started
dating a new girl.
She aspired to be an R&B
singer, thought she was pretty
and talented and was happy to
let you know.
As part of her career training


to be 'a celebrity, she watched
nothing but E! Entertainmen-
television.
When I went on my nightly
departure into the Cone Zone
the new girl was much less vocal
and the games of sexual Marcc
Polo between the rooms. hac
ended.
As I ate my morning oatmeal,.
found the vapid yammering of ar
image-obsessed, wannabe'super
star much more a nuisance thar
the sounds of sex.

Busy summer for volley stars


By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer

While their teammates were
spending the summer at home
or toiling in the sweltering
Gainesville sun, a trio of UF vol-
leyball players spent their time
jet- setting around the world to
face the strongest competition
on the planet.
Sophomore Marcie Hampton
competed for the U.S. National
Team at the Montreux Volley
Masters in Switzerland and for
the Junior National Team at
the U-20 World Championships
in Turkey, while senior Jane
Collymore played for the nation-
al team at both the World Grand
Prix and the Pan American Cup.
Collymore was the starting
outside hitter and was a team-
mate of fellow UF player Angie
McGinnis at the Pan Am.
"There's nothing we can do
on campus that comes clos6
to equating to that," UF coach
Mary Wise said. "In the world
of volleyball there aren't the
summer leagues that baseball
has. I think the analogy would
be closer to football. It's hard for
football players to get game-like


experience in the summer. For
our players, it has to happen at
the highest levels internation-
ally."

""Yes it was [rowdier],"
Hampton said. "Especially
against the USA team, be-
cause no one likes us, so
they were a lot louder."
Marcie Hampton
UF outside hitter


Collymore won what Wise
called the "Frequent Flyer
Award," after competing in the
Dominican Republic, China and
Korea during the summer, and
was a major factor in the United
States' fourth place finish at the
Pan-American Cup, including
a 14-kill effort in a quarterfinal
victory against former UF star
Aury Cruz's Puerto Rico squad.
"It was amazing," Collymore
said. "I just feel very fortunate
that I had the opportunity to
play with the best volleyball
players in the world and to see
such great and amazing culture
while I was at it."
Culture was a major part of


Gainesville native Hampton's
experiences. After playing
alongside three Olympians in
the Montreux Volley Masters
in June, Hampton was the cap-
tain of the U.S. Junior National
team during the U-20 World
Championships in Turkey.
Although Hampton admit-
ted that volleyball is far more
popular internationally than it
is stateside, the crowds were
particularly boisterous when
her team took the court.
"Yes it was [rowdier],"
Hampton said. "Especially
against the USA team, because
no one likes us, so they were a
lot louder."
With Turkey's proximity to
the Middle East and the general
perception of the United States
in that area, Hampton's team,
which scored an upset against
Japan during the tournament,
traveled with a heavy security
detail.
"We always had, like, three
security guards with us every-
where we went," Hampton said.
"The gym was filled with police,
so there was a lot of security
over there. They took good care
of us."

UF FOOTBALL RECRUITING

Gators receive 9 commitments for 2006 season


* MEYER HAS BEEN RELOADING FOR THE FUTURE
SINCE APRIL.

By BLAKE BONSACK
Alligator Writer

Although the 2005 football season has yet to begin, UF
coach Urban Meyer can't help but think about 2006.
While no official letter of intent can be signed until Feb.
1, 1'he Gators have already accumulated nine verbal commit-
ments from current high school seniors.
The Gators received their first commitment in early April
from Fort Myers running back prospect Chevon Walker.
At 5-foot-lO, 185 pounds, Walker is one of the state's more
highly touted running backs. The UF coaching staff will likely
sign one or two more tailbacks.
The next commitment came from Stephenville, Texas quar-
terback Jevan Snead.
Snead will graduate from high school in December and
looks to join an already talented and deep group of passers
including juniors Chris Leak and Gavin Dickey and freshmen
Cornelius Ingram and Josh Portis.
As a 6-foot-3, 205-pound junior, Snead completed 184 passes
for 3025 yards, 28 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
Critical to Meyer's spread option offense, Snead also exhib-
ited his ability to run the ball, gaining 525 yards and 14 touch-
downs on 108 carries.
"With the system that [UF's] going to run it's paramount
that they get a guy that fits that system," scout.com recruiting


analyst Jamie Newberg said. "I think Snead is a good fit based
on what I know so far very smart, can run, can throw. He's
the No. 2 rated quarterback in Texas."
Perhaps the most momentous of the commits was Durham,
N.C. offensive line prospect Carl Johnson.
Johnson, at 6-foot-5, 348 pounds, is regarded as one of the
top recruits in the nation. With four starting offensive linemen
graduating from UF following this season, he could compete
for-early playing time.
On the other side of the line, the Gators received commit-
ments from defensive line prospects and lifelong Gators fans
Terron Sanders and Corey Hobbs.
At 6-foot-2, 295 pounds and 6-foot-3, 310 pounds respec-
tively, Sanders and Hobbs could fill the need for powerful run-
stuffing defensive lineman to compliment the UF defense's
aggressive style.
After failing to sign any defensive linemen in the 2005 class,
the need has become even more crucial. The Gators will likely
sign two to three more defensivelinemen for the 2006 class.
With juniors Marcus Thomas, Ray McDonald, Joe Cohen,
Steven Harris and senior Jeremy Mincey nearing graduation,
this group should see playing time early on.
Markihe Anderson, a 5-foot-10, 172-pound defensive back
prospect from Fort Myers also verbally committed.
Though relatively obscure to most national and regional at-
tehtion, Anderson earned a scholarship offer after impressing
the UF coaching staff with his performance at summer camps
earlier this month. Anderson predominately played wide
receiver through the first two. years of high school and only


recently converted to his new position.
The Gators also added a linebacker, Jasper native Dustin
Doe. The 6-foot, 206-pound prospect is regarded as a supreme
athlete with exceptional speed and strength who plays on both
sides of the ball.
Most recently, the Gators received commitments from
Fayetteville, Ark. prospects and teammates Ben Cleveland and
Damian Williams.
Cleveland, at 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, is an athletic pass-catch-
ing tight end much in the same mold as current UF starter Tate
Casey and should fill the team's need for a large possession
receiver who can create mismatches with his size and speed.
Williams, at 6-foot-i, 180 pounds, is the first commitment
in what is anticipated to be one of the top receiver classes of
the year.
By the Feb. 1 national signing day, Meyer will look to sign 25
to 30 recruits to scholarships.

SJanuary 2,
2002, and the Gators wrapped up a
measly 10-2 season with a 56-23 de-
feat of Maryland, claiming the No. 3
spot in the final AP poll.
Seven days later, Zook inherited
a team in disarray. What was he to

But let's entertain the guy.
Fine Ron. Sure, the "cupboard"
was bare. How does that argument
possibly benefit his image?
In 2002, Zook robbed Grossman
of a Heisman en route to an 8-5
(6-2 Southeastern Conference)
season, capped with a 38-30 loss to
Michigan.
He maintained the mediocrity
with another 8-5 record in '03, high-
lighted by a 37-17 trouncing cour-
tesy of Iowa. At least he's already
accustomed to getting spanked by
the Big 10. By 2004, even with all of
his masterful recruiting and really

slumped to 7-4 overall (not counting
the Peach Bowl loss to Miami) and 4-
4 in the SEC. But even with a loss to
Mississippi State, I know, the team
was "getting better."


Zook's glass is always half-full.
"It's a lot easier when you stay
.positive, when the players hear
some positive things instead of con-
stantly negative things," said Zook
at the press conference. "That's why
you hear so many positive things
down there [at UF] now. They're try-
ing to spin it back the other way."
I would say, however, that "they"
are excited about watching a compe-
tent football coach in action for a
change. But hate him or love him,
we'll all miss his zingers.
"We're two hours from 8 million
people. We're two and a half hours
from 3 million people," said Zook
of Illinois' centralized location for
recruiting. "I mean, we got a bunch
of people around here."
Genius, Ron. Genius.

UF FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Defense 'growing up' while filling in for injured stars


By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer
lanastasis@alligator.org

Burnouts.
Brian Crum, Steven Harris and
Vernell Brown were just three of a
number of defensive players who
had all but staked claim to the burn-
out label. They arrived to campus as
studs but almost became duds.
Yet now, just nine days before the
Gators play Wyoming, these same
players seem to be headlining an
improved defense. So what gives?
"I think it's just growing up,"
UF coach Urban Meyer said. "A lot
of times guys who haven't played
much will show up as juniors. That's
what [Crum] is. I think he's been
challenged and he's been put in a
position where he has to play and I
think he's a good kid that wants to
help the Gators."
Crum, Harris and Brown have
had no choice but to step up con-
sidering the number of injuries the
defense has suffered. Of the three,
however, Harris seems to have im-
proved the most.
Harris, now a redshirt junior, fig-
ures to play as much as anyone on a
solid UF defensive line.
"Here's a kid that came in here
at 212 pounds and now he's got
himself up to 280 pounds," co-de-
fensive coordinator Greg Mattison
said. "Kids don't come -in and play
good at 212 but when they get the
experience and keep battling, you
never know."
Crum, a redshirt junior, should

play plenty at linebacker, while the
undersized Brown will start at cor-
nerback.

Nelson Returns
Just when it seemed like corner-
back Reggie Nelson's staph infec-


tion might doom the Gators' sec-
ondary against Wyoming, the junior
returned to practice in a limited role
Wednesday. Still, after seeing the
heralded transfer miss eight consec-
utive days of contact drills, Meyer
will bring Nelson back slowly.


"He just hasn't played at this lev-
el in forever, but he's a gifted guy,"
Meyer said. "Gifted people usually
make up [time] quicker."
Nelson was supposed to
enroll at UF two years ago, but
academic woes forced him to attend


Coffeyville Community College in
Kansas.
Now, Nelson is trying to earn a
backup cornerback spot. If every-
thing goes right for the junior, he
could even vie for a starting job at
some point this season.

Still up for Grabs
Meyer is waiting. And waiting.
And-waiting.
As the Gators drew another
day closer to Wyoming, DeShawn
Wynn, Skyler Thornton and
Markus Manson continued butting
legs, but none have taken control of
the coveted starting tailback job.
"They've all shown signs of
being pretty good players, but no
one's taking the job yet," Meyer
said.

This and that
Players attended their first class-
es Wednesday, and despite Meyer's
strict tab on attendance, there was
little concern about whether play-
ers will respect it.
"Hopefully we're beyond that,"
Meyer said. "We're getting ready to
play in nine days and I think they
know they need to go to class."
Offensive lineman Randy Hand
left practice because of a bone
bruise in his knee.
Cornerback Dee Webb sat out
another practice because of a sepa-
rated left shoulder.
The linebacker stock remains
thin as Earl Everett, Brandon Siler
and Todd McCullough continue
nursing injuries.


Gators prove that short kicks make the difference in the long run


Urban Meyer's first season at UF is
about to start, and there are many
unanswered questions.
Of course, there are some that have been
asked a billion times, like, "Can Chris Leak
run this offense?"'
But one of the largest question marks
heading into this season is the uncertainty
hovering over UF's kicking game right now.
Freshman Jonathan Phillips was given a
scholarship with the idea that he would step
in and replace Matt Leach, UF's kicker for
the past two seasons.
I know what you're thinking: Who cares
about kickers? They're barely on the team.
Even Phillips himself was surprised
when anyone wanted to interview him at
UF's media day.
Here's where this needs to be cleared

Braves
Cubs


up. The kicking game may be a mess this
season. Meyer himself said it is a "big-time
concern."
Phillips is pretty much out of contention,
Meyer said.
"I thought he would take the job or com-
pete for the-job, and he acts like a freshman,"
Meyer said. "He's got talent, he just has to
grow up a little bit."
That leaves walk-ons Chris Hetland and
Eric Nappy competing for the job. I haven't
-seen enough of either recently because prac-
tice has been closed, but it is disconcerting
that neither one of them has ever kicked a
field goal in a college game.
Here's how important the kicking game
can be. Five Gators games in the past two
seasons have been directly affected by a field
goal. Here they are:

commitment on Wednesday. Bran-
don Powell, a 6-foot-4, 190 pound

*Georgia, 2003: In a 16-13 UF win that
featured only one touchdown by each team,

21-yard chip shot. The Vols' James Wilhoit
made a 50-yarder to win the game 30-28.
Had Leach made his, UF would've been up
31-27 at the time and the Vols would've had
to have scored a touchdown.
That's five out of 25 games. The numbers
speak for themselves.
When Meyer was asked if Phillips' prob-
lem was with consistency, he replied with an
obvious answer.
"He's struggling kicking the ball through
[the uprights]," Meyer said.
It sounds so simple, yet it could be a big-
problem this season

Lee shows Drejer no mercy


By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
July 11, 2005

Call it motivation or call it a
talent differential, but David Lee
showed no mercy to former UF
teammate Christian Drejer on
July 11.
In their first meeting since
Drejer deserted the Gators and
his best friend Lee in the mid-
dle of the 2004 season to play in
Europe, the two met up in the
NBA Summer League.
Lee, the final pick of the first
round for New York, and Drejer,
attempting to make New Jersey's
roster as a free agent, met in Las
Vegas.
Lee had his best performance
of the summer in New York's 86-
74 victory, scoring 19 points with
eight rebounds on 5-of-6 shooting
in 33 minutes.
Drejer, whom UF coach Billy
Donovan once called the best
player he ever saw in practice,
scored just four points in 16 min-
utes.
"It was weird," Lee said. "I
ended up doing a pretty good job
on him. It was disappointing the
way it ended for him. Really, he
was a pretty good kid that made a
dumb decision to leave."
Lee said Drejer approached


him before the game, but all is not
forgotten.
"He was under the impression
that we could just pick up where
we left off after two years," Lee
said. "I wasn't really feeling, it
and the conversation was pretty
minimal.

"I guarded him the whole
game. He (Drejer) was
struggling a little bit, and
it's just interesting how
things ended up coming
full circle."
David Lee
New York Knicks forward
on former UF teammate Christian Drejer.

"I talked to him a little bit, but
I was a little short with him. It
wasn't too much of a conversa-
tion, but it was nothing hostile."
With Lee playing small for-
ward throughout the night, Drejer
and Lee were matched up against
each other. It was no competition.
"I guarded him the whole
game," Lee said. "He was strug-
gling a little bit, and it's just
interesting how things ended up
coming full circle.
"For a guy like him to [leave
the Gators] and now he's strug-
gling to make it over here... It was


a strange situation guarding him
tonight after all we went throtigh
with him leaving. My feelings are
that I'm a guy that went through
it right, and I fully support the
Gator program."
Lee has continued to excel in
the summer leagues, while Drejer
has tanked.
Prior to the July 11th game,
Lee was averaging 11 points and
seven rebounds per game while
shooting 40 percent from the field
in 20 minutes.
Drejer, meanwhile, was scor-
ing just three points per game and
two rebounds, shooting 23 percent
from the field in 20 minutes.
Lee said that playing small
forward is helping his game, and
he fully intends to be part of the
Knicks rotation come November.
"I played all three tonight and
I've been going back and forth,"
Lee said. "That's going to be a
huge advantage for me to play
two positions.
"The biggest thing for me is
bringing energy. When that hap-
pens, good things start happening
just like they did at Florida. I bring
a lot of energy and athleticism and
things tend to go my way. That's
what I've been doing here and the
coaches have been really happy
with my effort and good results."


South Carolina faces an additional year of probation


STAFF REPORT

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier will
face additional season handcuffed by sanc-
tions after the NCAA added an extra year
to South Carolina's self-imposed two years'
probation on Wednesday.
Responding to 10 infractions commit-
ted under former Coach Lou' Holtz, South
Carolina had already taken away four schol-
arships from the football program during the
next two years and reduced by 12 the number
of paid on-campus visits by recruits.
"We are satisfied with the results,"


Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier said. "We
appreciate the NCAA basically agreeing with
our proposal. For the next couple of years, we
will only have 83 players on scholarship."
The NCAA will also require the school to
forward an infractions report to its regional
accrediting agency and imposed a four-year
show cause order should former South
Carolina administrator Tom Perry try for em-
ployment at another athletic department.
Perry, an ex-senior associate athletic direc-
tor for academic support services, was at the
center of the most serious violations. The re-
port found Perry arranged for impermissible


tutoring help during the summer of 2001 for
two prospective players
who were coming from
two-year colleges. After the
incident was self-reported,
Perry declared the athletes
ineligible and made the
players make restitution for
the tutoring.
The Associated Press
Spurrier contributed to this report.

UF GOLFERS ADVANCE:After recording the
lowest amateur score in the history of the


U.S. Open, Matt Every is continuing to climb
the amateur ranks this time with some fa-
miliar company.
Every and teammate Brett Stegmaier ad-
vanced to the second round of the match-play
at the U.S. Amateur Championship after cap-
turing wins on Wednesday
Every advanced with a strong outing,
defeating George Bryan of Columbia, S.C. 4-
and-3, and Stegmaier defeated Brian Carroll of
Crystal Lake, Ill. 6-and-5.
Second-round play continues this morn-
ing, as the UF duo will attempt to advance to
the 16-player third round this afternoon.

the independent florida Not officially associated wth the University of Florida Published by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesville. Florida We Inform. You Decide. Recycle THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 Peps" akes New beverage vendor Serves mostly bottles By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@aIligator.org Where once there was Barq's, now there is Mug. tarbucks Doubleshot is the new caffeine fix instead of \lestea. All that was once Coke is officially Pepsi. Vending machines throughout campus have been capped since a contract between UF and Pepsi Bottling roup went into effect Aug. 16, ending the university's 40'ear relationship with Florida Coca-Cola Bottling Co. "It's been a seamless transition," Pepsi spokeswoman Amy Polacko said. Many students, though, expressed dissatisfaction with UF's new vendor. "There are no cans," graduate student Dan Dawson said, "so you can't pay 60 cents -you have to pay at least a dollar." Phillips UF Business Services Division Director Jim Morgan said the majority of campus Pepsi machines vend bottles. The advantage of bottles is that they are resealable, he said, adding that canned sodas will be "extinct" in five or 10 years. Other students simply preferred Coke's beverages to Pepsi's. "I was disappointed because I didn't think the student body was given a chance to vote on this matter," health science junior Tracy Mackoy said. Morgan said the decision to change UF's soft-drink sponsor was wholly a financial one. "If you know of a better way for the University of Florida to generate about $30 million over 10 years, please let me know," he said. Morgan said the Pepsi contract differs from the CocaCola contract in that it gives the UF administration more freedom with Pepsis money. In past years, Coca-Cola allocated money to various UF organizations, such as the University Athletic Association, Student Affairs and the Department of Housing. Now, all the money Pepsi makes at UF goes into a concession fund controlled by UF President Bernie Machen. "He sort of corralled all of that from all the sources," Morgan said. "Exactly what that's going for, I could not tell you." Another major bidding advantage of Pepsi's was its ownership of the Gatorade brand, the royalties of which bring UF more than $3 million per year, Morgan said. Coca-Cola's Powerade was banned from campus during the soda giant's reign. Though Gatorade vending machines have always been allowed at UF, Pepsi's sponsorship marks the first time a sports drink will be available at SEE PEPSI.

New ravalI a b I eo r W mal By ASHLEY JONES Alligator Contributing Writer Though UF will no longer allow students to forward their GatorMail to other accounts starting Oct. 1, they still will be able to read UF mail in their preferred account through a retrieval system, a Student Affairs official said Wednesday The university decided in Spring to end the forwarding service because large providers like AOL and Yahoo! routinely filter out UF mail because they cannot tell the difference between legitimate and junk e-mails, said Michael Rollo, associate vice president for Student Affairs. "E-mails are being blocked by these providers, and students are missing out on important information the university is legally required to give them," he said. The university began encouraging students to use their GatorMail accounts separately in Spring, but many have not "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" yet switched over. "Students who enrolled past April 2005 have not had the option of forwarding their GatorMail," Rollo said. "We hoped this would make the transition easier." When spam blockers reject a forwarded e-mail, it literally disappears, Rollo said. The university suggests students set up their alternate U F e-mail accounts Administration so they are able to retrieve mail from their GatorMail accounts if they prefer to consolidate their mail. Marc Hoit, the interim associate provost for information technology, said-tbis alternative method is safer than forwarding because the original e-mail is kept in the GatorMail account. With this method, students are able to set up their alternate account to "collect" mail from their GatorMail accounts, Hoit -The debate over a controversial exhibit featuring cadavers that opened this week in Tampa continues to grab national headlines, with a UF-based board caught in the middle. See story, pg. 5. said. If the mail does not appear in the preferred account, students can still access the message in their UF account because it will be in the UF server. After Oct. 1, UF will discontinue the forwarding option and force students to go to their GatorMail accounts, Hoit said. Students, faculty and staff will be able to forward messages from their UF accounts only if they are forwarding to another UF account, such as those who have accounts within colleges or departments at UE Rollo said. Rollo said he hopes more students will be attracted to the tUF portal when they start to log in to their GatorMail accounts. The portal has a lot of important information and news that would be helpful to students, he said. The university has provided a Web site for students with e-mail policies at www.it.ufl.edu/training/email/ #freeemail.

4, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 DEMONSTRATION UF issues--~ students a 100 mil ion-rninute challenge By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@aIligator.org The drive to make UF a Top 10 public university doesn't stop with faculty and staff. With rising admission. standards and continued calls for leadership and campus involvement, administrators are looking to all students to meet or exceed the accomplishments of previous classes. So far, administrators like what they've seen. "I've had a chance to get to know a good cross-section of the students," said Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for Student Affairs. "I think they're all starting to be leaders in one way or another." After spending a year at UF, she describes UF students as talented, ambitious, creative and loyal to the university. "That's always very refreshing to see the connection [to UF], because that's what we're all about," she said. To further the connection between students and the community, UF's Center for Leadership and Service challenged students last week to help donate 100 million minutes of service along with SFCC students and local residents. Alana Rush, the center's student manager, said the 100 million-minute challenge, which kicks off Sept. 10 and runs until mid-April, will expose students to issues they typically won't encounter at UP. "I think it's especially relevant in the Gainesville community because there are so many issues students don't normally Tellesrvin come into contact UF vice president for with," Rush said. student affairs "They forget that there's a whole community outside of campus." The challenge, which will total more than 15 years of volunteer hours if the goal is met, encourages students to give back both individually and as part of student organizations and volunteer groups. Rush added that community service not only improves the local area, but it also puts students into contact with local leaders and teaches them valuable lessons about giving back in whatever way they can. "We're teaching them to be citizens of the state, the nation and the world," Rush said. "If you move five miles or 15,000 miles away, you can apply what you've learned." The challenge is scheduled to end April 11, following a week of communrity-service activities. Service projects in Gainesville include volunteering downtown for the homeless population, as well as building houses with Habitat for Humanity .and arranging pet adoption through organizations like Gainesville Pet Rescue. The type of community volunteer work called for in the challenge will help show all students their part of a world larger than UP. "I want to see our students understand that they are part of a global community" she said. Telles-Irvin added that she has encouraged Accent, UF's speakers' bureau, to bring in speakers on the topic of globalization, such as author Thomas Friedman.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 5 M THE EXHIBIT OPENED IN TAMPA ON AUG. 18. By NEIL HUGHES Aligator Staff Writer nhLghes@aligator.org The debate over a controversial exhibit featuring cadavers continues to grab national headlines, with a UF-based board caught in the middle. The Anatomical Board of the State of Florida, which works from the university, found "BODIES, the Exhibition" to be in violation of state laws regarding public display of corpses. The board took issue with the lack of consent forms for display of the bodies, which are unclaimed and from China. The exhibit features 20 complete cadavers posed in a variety of positions, as well as more than 260 organs and body parts. The oal of the exhibit is to showcase the abilities of the human body to the general public. The board's decision, made Aug. 17, did not stop the exhibit's host, Tampa's Museum of Science and Industry, from opening the show to the public two days early. The executive director of the Anatomical Board, Lynn J. Romrell, said the museum was able to open the exhibit despite the board's ruling because state laws do not provide a penalty for such a violation. "If the law is not accurately written, then it needs to be re-written," Romrell said. Though the board didn't take action, Romrell said the exhibit is still in violation of Florida law. "They need to review the whole situation and determine whether laws should be enacted to control the public display of human bodies." Lynn I. Romrell Anatomical Board executive director "They have no release from the families of these people," he said. "These were unclaimed bodies in the exhibit." Romrell said he believes the government should do something to clarify the legality of such displays. "There needs to be review of this type of display by federal lawmakers," he said. "They need to review the whole situation and determine whether laws should be enacted to control the public display of human bodies." The 4-2 decision was reached after Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist said the exhibit fell under the jurisdiction of the board, which is part of the UF Health Science Center. "We took an action, and the attorney general said that the law was vague enough that no action could be taken," Romrell said. MOSI's argument is that the laws cited pertain only to corpses that are being used for educational purposes for medical students. A spokeswoman did not return calls to explain the museum's position. However, Crist stated in a letter to Romrell that while Florida statutes "specifically refer to 'medical education,' it does not limit that education to medical students." The controversy has not discouraged visitors from seeing the exhibit, which attracted more than 12,000 attendees in its first four, days, breaking museum records, according to The Associated Press. Citing examples of similar controversies around the nation, Romrell said the issues surrounding the BODIES exhibit will not go away until they have been settled legally. "We're not the only people who are looking at this in a way with concern for, proper ethical use of the bodies," he said. "Informed consent is a major issue."

6, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 Editorial Empty words UF officials focus on the wrong issues U F administrators have been deliberating Gainesville's drinking problem for more than six months. They formed committees. They brought in "experts." They formed subcommittees. And then they spent half of Spring and all of Sumner discussing and devising solutions to this rampant problem. With all the fuss and time, we could only assume their findings would be momentous -or at least somewhat intelligent. But yet again our academic leaders have led us astray. The three subcom-dttees formed to discuss alcohol culture, access and enforcement unveiled their recommendations Tuesday to the big committee of university and city officials that spawned them. (We know -it's all very confusing.) What are their brilliant ideas? Almost identical to the ones they came up with at their very first meeting last Spring. Create alternative alcohol-free activities. Make vendors responsible for checking IDs:Punish crime. Are these guys serious? When the subcommittees. were formed last Spring, members promised to research how to implement these base ideas. Instead, they're back at square one. How is that even possible? Although UF President Bernie Machen has made significant changes to the university since he became president more than a year ago, a flurry of meaningless public-relations campaigns have also increased since his inauguration. In the case of his valiant fight against binge drinking, the only real step he took was to forbid alcohol advertisements at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. And that hardly even counts; the vast majority of past O'Connell Center events never had alcohol sponsors in the first place. Btthuts whole alcohol business is just one aspect of administrators' empty efforts over the last year. Branding is another. After paying a finn $85,000 to come up with the motto "an unparalleled university experience that lasts a lifetime," administrators chose to scrap it all and replace it with "the foundation for The Gator Nation." We couldn't make something like this up. It sounds like a line from a "Sesame Street" song. We thought college was about education. Apparently, UF officials would rather market us as Disney World. It's no mistake that our vice president of University Relations is a former Disney employee. Perhaps the best way to gain respect (and, of course, money) is to be a good university. Other state schools already recognize UF as the forerunner of Florida public universities. That deference didn't come from our dashing logos and cute mottos. It was developed because our students and faculty continue to improve. And now administrators want to give us a slogan that makes us the laughing stock of academia? And put that on TV? Not only is the new slogan idiotic, it uses the phrase "The Gator Nation," a term associated with our sports program. Wasn't this whole thing supposed to be about our faculty and students? Machen rightly argues UF needs much more money to continue its climb to be one of the Top 10 research universities. But will those funds make up for the loss of respect? Machen is steering more toward how UF is perceived than how our university actually educates. Maybe focusing on the academic experience will solve both of the original problems: Students might be more motivated to go toclass than to drink, and potential benefactors might find the university a more worthwhile investment because of its reputation. t e dependent f orida Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR She Atlgator encotrages co ments from reders.Lettersto the edo r should not eeed 150 wods (about one letter-ized page).

ALLIGATOR www.aIigator.org/opinions Column Consumers need to kick gas addiction omeone crack a window; America's got a gas problem. At more than $66 a barrel, the price of U.S. oil is higher than Snoop Dogg at a cannabis convention. On a brighter note, it's a monstrous 83 cents less than the alltime record high of $67.10 set in early August. About a month ago, in the face of summer recess and a triple-dog dare from President Bush, Congress finally passed a bill addressing the nation's energy problems. While Congress took some steps toward appeasing American energy consumption, it was more like feeding Lady Liberty the crumbs of a half-eaten PowerBar. The bill does little, if anything, to address America's exorbitant consumption of gasoline and our dependence on foreign oil. Not to mention it gave a $9 billion tax break to oil and gas companies like ExxonMobil, a company that enjoyed a record-breaking $25 billion profit last year. Congress should have done the right thing by raising fuel economy standards. They chose to side with the automotive industry instead, thus ignoring the quickest, easiest and most technologically feasible solution to address America's excessive consumption of gasoline. Conveniently, President Bush's own Environmental Protection Agency delayed the release of a report highlighting America's non-existent improvement in fuel efficiency until after the energy bill had been passed. The report showed that the average 2004 model car or truck gets about 6 percent fewer miles per gallon than the average new vehicle sold in the late 1980s.

Top administration officials said their plan would save 10 billion gallons of gasoline over nearly two decades. Under current consumption trends, that amount would last a whopping 25 days. Ironically, Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta announced the plan at a news conference in Los Angeles, where he arrived in a silver Lincoln Navigator. According to the federal government, leading by example is overrated and, shockingly, the responsibility to address America's problems once again resides with the people. But don't be scared, America. Making a difference, albeit a slight one, is easier than one might think. Cars and light trucks -SUVs, vans and pickups -account for about 40 percent of all U.S. oil consumption. The solution here is simple -stop buying vehicles that can transport a little league baseball team by day and enter a monster truck rally by night. Gasoline has become a drug, and the automotive industry is its pusher. If the federal government won't force automotive makers to build more fuel-efficient cars, then the American people must guide the market in that direction. Companies like Honda and Toyota make highly efficient vehicles, and, surprisingly, many of them are built in the United States.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 7 Guest column Asian American students slighted in hiring of assistant dean n Monday, the Dean of Students Office told to the Asian American Student Union, or AASU, and the South Asian American Student Alliance, or SAASA, that the current graduate student of multicultural and diversity affairs will now be the graduate assistant of Asian Pacific American Affairs. Additionally, the dean's office has created a new position: the assistant dean of multicultural and diversity affairs. This poses a problem for the Asian American community on campus. For more than four years, we have advocated for necessary resources, including an Asian American Institute, Asian American studies and a director of Asian American affairs. Having a director is an integral component for our campus, as this person can advocate for Asian American rights and resources. They can aid with programming, facilitate students' needs at the administrative level and ensure the university is a safe and accepting place. Sandy Ch iu In postponing the hiring Preeti Sharma of an Asian American director, the administration is not Speak king Out answering the needs of both the Asian American community and the UF students. Currently, in the multicultural and diversity affairs department, three of the main groups (Institute of Black Culture, Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs) have full time directors. Two of these groups have graduate assistants. We are in support of these positions and recognize the contributions those directors make toward our campus. However, despite many years of being one of the most active groups on campus and constantly advocating for resources, the administration on this campus has once again pushed back our needs for the greater multicultural and diversity affairs division. The Asian American community understands the need for a multicultural affairs assistant dean. However, in seeking to hire an assistant dean of multicultural and diversity affairs, the administration has indicated the search for an Asian American director is not a top priority. Again, Asian Americans are marginalized on campus and are asked to make a sacrifice they should not have to make. Asian Americans make up 7 percent of the student body and have. one of the largest populations on campus. In past meetings with administrators, AASU and SAASA members were told an Asian American director was a top priority. Now it seems as if we have a long way to go before equaling other multicultural groups on campus. AASU and SAASA will continue to fight for resources on this campus, including that of an Asian American director. Sandy Chiu is president of AASU. Preeti Sharnma is president of SAASA. Guest column Secular radicals pitted against feasible intelligent design Jn 1925, Tennessee schoolteacher John Scopes was convicted of violating a state law prohibiting the teaching of any theory of biological existence (namely, evolution) other than creationism. Eighty years later, we have come full circle. Only today what is prohibited is not evolution, but creationism. Regardless of which side is right, censorship is wrong. It was wrong in 1925, and it remains wrong in 2005. Earlier this month, President Bush offended some in closed-minded society when he suggested public schools should present the theory of intelligent design alongside the theory of evolution. Intelligent design suggests that the diversity and complexity of life on earth is so great it cannot be adequately explained by the theory of evolution. Critics immediately pounced on Bush's statement as evidence that he is a Bible-thumping, ignorant hick whose proposal would undermine students' understanding of science. The National Academy of Sciences has railed against "increasingly strident attempts to limit the teaching of evolution." Those who believe that intelligent design poses a threat to science are as mistaken as those who believed the world was flat. First of all, if anyone is limiting teaching, it is the secularist radicals. Thanks to their labors, there is not a marketplace of competing ideas in our public schools today, but only a monopoly of evolutionary theory. In contrast, Bush made it clear he did not advocate the advancement of intelligent design as the only theory. Bush stated that both theories should be taught "to expose people to different schools of thought" so that "people can understand what the debate is about." Even when I attended a public high school Eric Wang in New York (hardly the Bible Belt), our U-Wire biology textbooks presented evolution with a prominent disclaimer that it was a theory. As with all theories, it is possible (though scientists say unlikely) it is wrong. As Bush stated, presenting intelligent design as a critique of evolutionary theory only enhances understanding of the latter. Lastly, one might argue children are too impressionable to be exposed to competing theories. However, the case of Richard Stemberg shows the lie in this objection. When Sternberg, editor of the Smithsonian journal "The Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington," agreed to publish an article on intelligent design last year, he was ostracized by the institution. Although Stemberg, who holds not one, but two PhDs in evolutionary biology, does not, even necessarily believe in the theory, that gave no pause to colleagues who falsely accused him of being trained as an "orthodox priest," according to The Washington Post. If our nation's top scientists cannot discuss evolution without resorting to adolescent namecalling, their the debate is not a problem of age. It is a problem of passion and prejudice. Our country was founded on the principles of free speech and debate. As John Stuart Mill said, we can best arrive at the truth when there is a marketplace of competing ideas. George Orwell painted a grim portrait of what a society would look like if we were ever a onesided orthodoxy. How' a society founded on Mill's dream has evolved-into Orwell's worst nightmare, even Darwin would be hardpressed to explain. It's certainly no society any "intelligent" designer would have conceived. Eric Wang attends the University of Virginia. This section for display ads only.

Several machines on campus vend only the green soda and its variants. -Pepsi will also donate merchandise and over 1,000 cases of beverages to UF, UAA and Shands facilities every year. UP will receive 46 percent of the revenue generated by Pepsi vending machines. The minimum Pepsi must pay in vending commission is $750,000 annually for the first five years of the contract. Morgan said Coca-Cola never met its minimum guaranteed vending comrrission and instead wrote a check to UP for the difference at the end of every year. Pepsi's contract includes plenty of perks from UP as well, including vending rights at football games, sponsorship of a men's and a women's athletic tournament, 14 advertising panels in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, 130 tickets to the UF-Georgia game and 45 season football tickets, 10 of which are in the UAA snite.

10, ALLIGATORSETHURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 RESEARCH U F f i g h ts chEardcIf'o r it s m,%n ey By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Writer .riffeI@amigator.org Research awards to UF increased by 5 percent to a record $494 million in 2004-2005, aiding the university in its mission to be a Top 10 public research university. "Research is a critical component in our reputation. The faculty has remained competitive, and that competitiveness helps us to attract strong faculty and graduate students," said Win Phillips, UF vice president for research. Most universities have experienced an increase in research dollars over the past few years, according to an annual report by UF's Lombardi Program on Measuring University Performance. All research universities compete for the same share of funding, and the report's findings suggest the pot is getting bigger. Research awards usually increase each year,-but Phillips said this year is particularly impressive due to large federal grants, which increased 10.8 percent over the past year despite changes in the federal govemment and the war in Irag. "Research is a critical component in our reputation. The faculty has remained competitive, and that competitiveness helps us to attract strong faculty and graduate students." Win Phillips UF vice president for research Awards to UF from federal agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation rose by $30.9 million in the past year. Awards from the institute increased 15 percent to $130 million despite only minor increases in the budget for grants. Private funding has also increased, with foundation awards rising by 16.5 percent to $57.5 million last year. "Private funding is not as big a part as federal, but as we look for sources to diversify, and as we grow bigger, we look for a diversity of sources in order to compete strongly," Phillips said. With a stronger focus on private funding, UF was able to obtain grants from foundations such as the W.M. Keck Foundation, which awarded $875,000 to the astronomy department .to build a new instrument-for planetary detection. The increase in award money is partially due to the 13 percent increase in grant proposals sent out. Faculty and graduate students sent out 4,903 proposals in the past year. "With no proposals, there's no money. The fact that the faculty put out an increased number of proposals increased the probability, but we also won. We put out more proposals, and then we got the money," Phillips said. "It's a very competitive business." The 5 percent increase in awards is also due to the focus on interdisciplinary research, Phillips said. Advertise in the Homecoming Souvenir Edition U!

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 11 UF fdacuity searching for better ways to pack food E RESEARCHERS ARE WORKING WITH SEVERAL COMPANIES ON INVENTIONS. By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Contributing Writer Smarter food packaging has spawned its own UF research center with almost $1 million in fundong from companies that supply stores like Publix and Wal-Mart. Three major projects are underway this Fall at UF's Center for Food Distribution and Retailing, which has been around for more than a year. Researchers focus on projects with companies that handle the quality and distribution of perishable goods based on recommendations made by a group of representatives from food vendors. "We have an advisory board made up of retail stores that sell food," center Director Jeffrey Brecht said. The center operates and receives funding solely through these research projects, with three "large research grants" comprising the center's focus. The three companies funding the grants all address different steps in the food distribution process. To develop a smarter refrigeration system for foods, the center is working with Ingersoll-Rand Co. on sensors for packages to keep the temperature controlled. For packaging development, the center is working with IPL, a plastics company, to better preserve the products inside. "It's all related to having quality food at the retail level," Brecht said. UW S The third company the center is working with is Franwell, which donated radiofrequency identification tags to the center's lab, Brecht said. The tags will allow products to be tracked from the first stages of production until the consumer purchases the item. "The companies have given more than $250,000 each," -Brecht said. Working at the center are 25 UF faculty members from-six different departments, he said. The goal is to take existing faculty at the university to work together as a multidisciplinary research group on projects with the companies that actually handle the food, Brecht said. op "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Student Geenaave is accept dGg appnicatieovsfer therf//aoingpesitiaas Appl-nouens5,,Au,t ,s9 2005 Assistant Supervisors of Elections -2:00pm Center for PerforrnngArts Board of Directors Applici ons due: Agst ~~s3 1,2005 AAREST (Actig Against Rape Every Students' Taskforce) -Vice Chais & Directors ACCENT -Vice Chairs & Directors Image -Directors Lobby Agency -Directors Museum Nights -Staff Student Government Productions -Vice Chairs & Directors STAAR (Students Taking Action Against Racism) -Directors'4 Tower Yearbook -Staff A ptions DueSeptember 7. 2005 SG Cabinet -Assistant Directors Frslman Leadership Council SG Cabinet Director for Heath Programming Please Pick up an application in Room 305 of the Reitz Union.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.aIligator.org/avenue All for'Qatesville BY INE CAWIELLO ster Hazelre )ii e, move word r t's been eight years since Sister Hazel played for an audience of more than 70,000 people at UF's Gator Growl. This year, there will be a different kind of homecoming for the band that put Gainesville back on the music map with its hit "All For You," decades after artists such as Tom Petty first brought attention to the scene. Sister Hazel will perform Sept. 16 at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, where it played a year ago. "We had a' great time at the show last year," lead singer Ken Block said. "We like to get back (to Gainesville) as much as we can." Gainesville is important to the members of the band for many reasons. Block and rhythm guitarist Andrew Copeland grew up here, and the band has played virtually every pub, bar and coffeehouse in town. "Gainesville has been so supportive of the band," Block said. "There are so many people in Gainesville that have their fingerprints on this band and who we are as people." Block said he hopes the audience will participate and sing along -like most of their other shows -as this year's venue tends to have a "watching audience." But that should be no problem for fans of Sister Hazel; the accessibility of the band has nurtured a great sense of community between fans -they even call themselves "Hazeinuts." "We've been fortunate to have such a hardcore fan base," Block said. "I think that's why we've been able to do what we've done for as long as we have." Although college students have always been the band's core audience, Sister Hazel takes pride in allowing parents and their children to find common ground through its music. Block is putting a book together of testimonies from fans on how Sister Hazel's music has connected with them and changed their lives. "Whether it's, 'I sobered up after dealing with addictions,' or 'I started a new business I've always wanted to open' .when you hear that it's changing people's lives, it's like 'Wow, I'm doing the right thing,"' Block said. Perhaps one of the reasons the band has such a passionate following are the events Sister Hazel hosts to bring its tight-knit community together. The Rock Boat started out as a "thank you" for Sister Hazel fans in 2001. The band reserved half a cruise ship to play for fans and interact with them. "We took the whole boat the next year," Block said. "It's an absolutely indescribable musical experience." Now in its fifth year, The Rock Boat will host 30 bands to play on a cruise ship reserved entirely for fans. Tickets sold out in just two days -a total of 2,500 people plus work crew. Artists on The Rock Boat will include OAR., Stroke 9 and Cowboy Mouth. In addition to The Rock Boat, Sister Hazel also hosts .The Rock Slope, an event with the same idea of bringing theband and fans Sister Hazel is scheduled to play together, but set in the mountains of Gainesville, expects hardcore fan Steamboat Springs, Colo.

The past few albums have been released independently after an amicable split with Universal Records, but Block said the band might partner up with a major label for its next release. Boat isn't challenging. All five of the band members are married, and three members have children. "We transitioned from being college kids who never miss a party to bouncing on the road and supporting our families," Block said. "We all put our families first because if that Photo courtesy of Sister Hazel at the Philips Center for the Performing Arts Sept. 16. The band, from s to show up despite the venue's typical "watching audience." goes well, then everything else is going to go well." Bob McPeek, former owner of the local Minor Image Studios, worked with the band in the mid-'90s before it reached national recognition and was there to record the hit song "All for You" on several different occasions. "They were willing to play to six people at the Newberry Watermelon Festival," he said. "They had a really good work ethic, and they're good people." Block still recalls times when there were more people on stage than in the audience. "We just made sure that the next time there would be eight people in the crowd instead of five," he said. It's exactly that type of attitude that HARGE has brought Sister $106 Hazel success. "Whatever was in SECON/AISLE the water in the '70s 26 was in the water in the '90s," McPeek said "And they're still out o. there, still doing it." BIOFEPS In that sense, the members of Sister Hazel have always felt like ambassadors for Gainesville, though only two members currently reside in the city. "We're very very proud of the city and very, very proud of the University of Florida and Santa Fe," Block said. But at home, the best way for the members of Sister Hazel to represent Gainesville would be to put on the best show they can at the Phillips Center. "I justhope [the audience is] loud and involved," Block said. "That's how most of our shows go." Student tickets are $10 and are available at the Phillips Center Box Office at (352) 392-2787.

Though the music school doesn't compare in size to other Florida schools like FSU or UM, the smaller size can be both a blessing and a curse. "I'm glad it's small," said Lauren Pollock, a violin performance junior and business minor at UP. "You don't have to worry about not seeing a familiar face." However, small size has its downside. Lack of resources and funding make individual attention more cumbersome. "We don't have that many classrooms, and we are trying to keep the class size small," said Mutlu Citim-Kepic, director for music admissions and undergraduate adviser for the School of Music at UP "If we had more resources we could offer more courses for non-majors, but on the other hand we do like being a small college for what we can offer our music students."

"No 'college students want to listen to opera or any type of classical music," said Laura Bevill, a UF junior studying Maria music and French. "Even if more Laverghetta things were held for majors, no one Playlist would show up." heavenue@aligator.org Many non-music students disagree, but they feel promoting performances needs to be more campuswide in order for there to be a substantial turnout. "If Hendrix rose from the dead and put on a show, no one would know about it without advertisements," said Ryan Murray, an electrical engineering senior. Other non-music students also see the small size as a deterrent. "When I was in school, they only offered like two music classes to students who were not music majors, so even if I wanted to pursue my interest in music, I couldn't," said Michael Scott, a UF alumnus.

14, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 OFF THE PRESS War book skips blood, guts s the new nightlife writer, I envision myself cutting straight through the lines at clubs as strong-muscled gentlemen part the velvet ropes at the door for me and my fabulous friends. In my head, it's like "Sex and the City" minus the sex, the big city and all the Prada. In reality, it probably won't be much like that. The best nights are the random ones, and I have plenty of those. I don't fret-hop if I can avoid it. And I don't sit in dark rooms smoking a bong. I've experienced the best Gainesville has to offer. I've fought with sweaty people for air to breathe. I've stood in the humidity outside clubs asking myself why I bothered to blow-dry my hair, and I've walked into places, taken two looks around and walked right back out. UF students are privileged to have such a lively, ever-changing social scene that requires little more than a good spontaneous group of friends and some form of designated driver. Even the serious, studious people in Gainesville have something of a social life with endless possibilities, depending on their mood. We have Greeks, Latins, Bohemians and plenty of others; shaken or Julia Carvaho stirred, mixed toNight Writer gether, we've got Night Writer ourselves a party theavenueealligatnr.arg school. Football season amnplifies our social drive, and we wander the city decked out in orange and blue looking for places where we can stand, drink, talk loudly, dance and take thousands of pictures we'll later put on our Webshots as proofto the world that we go to the best college ever. Truth is, it's easy to be sociable in Gainesville -in fact, it's harder to be a hennit because chances are, unless your friends are also pre-med, they won't let you stay home thinking about organic chemistry in peace. They'll keep calling and calling, and you'd better cave -forfeit your A for a chance to be a part of the stories from the best night ever. H M Part ers unite at UF Larry Heinemann Black Virgin Mountain: A Return to Vietnam Doubleday Larry Heinemann's "Black Virgin Mountain: A Return to Vietnam" is not your usual all-out, blood-and-guts war account. For Heinemann, Vietnam wasn't a place where men were made into men, where one could ultimately find himself. Vietnam was simply madness, violence and corruption. Humanity at its worst. Heinemann's novel is a gripping memoir and one of the finer books to come out of the still-emerging Vietnam War-memoir genre. The first half of the book is composed of a number of fragmented recollections from Heineman's 1967-68 tour of duty in Vietnam and the years following his return home. Some of these fragments are hilarious -especially Heinemann's account of his unit's purposeful knocking down of rubber trees, each of which the Army had to pay the Michelin tire company a steep indemnity for. Other moments are downright painful and disheartening -in particular Heinemann's account of the fates of his two brothers, both military veterans, one of whom committed suicide and the other who simply disapThe University of Florida ALL POSITIONS AVAILABLE NOW Come be a part of the nation'largest student-run speaker's bureau!

WE, M ;V V peared. The second half of the book transforms itself into a Paul Theroux-esque travel narrative, minus Theroux's famous sour temper, and charts Heinemann's return trip to Vietnam in the early 1990s. Though many of his anecdotes and descriptions of the Vietnamese countryside are beautiful and quite lively, there's a remarkable sense of distance in Heinemann's disposition toward his return to his former battlegrounds. James Fleming Frankly, I would've Off the Press liked to know more thravenue@aigator.org about what he was actually feeling during his trip back -or if he was really feeling anything at all. The highlight of the book is the sheer quality of the prose itself. It is easily evident in the most powerful scene in the book, Heinemann's second-person narration of a wartime trip through the Cu Chi tunnels. This is Heinemann at his best: quick, gripping and, above all, real. No one else in contemporary American letters writes like Larry Heinemann. He reminds me of Mark Twain -lively and personal, colloquial and powerful -leaving you feeling as if you haven't read him, but simply sat across from him and listened to him talk. This book is strongly recommended.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005.U ALLIGATOR, 15 Ccm cs transcend ti me T he words "October" and "crisis" probably bring one thought to your mind. Midterms. Now you're thinking, "Whoa, lady, classes just started, I don't even want to think about midterms yet," but forget school for one second. What should come to mind is that Oct. 12 launches "Infinite Crisis" from DC Comics. It will be available at your friendly neighborhood comic book shop. What's "Infinite Crisis?" Well, chum, it's only the biggest event of comics this year. You don't want to miss it because all the other kids will laugh at you. Not since 1985's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" has DC boasted an event of these proportions. Creators have been understandably tightlipped about its repercussions. The seven-issue series, dubbed by DC Executive Editor Dan DiDio as "the worst day ever in the DC Universe," has been kept quiet. But we do know that it promises to alter or destroy the lives and friendships of some of your favorite DC heroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the Flash forever. At the conclusion of the new series, the entire DC Universe will jump one year into the future. Don't we all wish-we could erase time as easy as comics do? Merely a flip of a page and that pesky MAC1147 midterm Karolena could be over. Belecka Still, the tricky little Get Graphic problem of lost time theavenue@aigator.org must be confronted. To make up for ii, DC is producing a daring project; a weekly comic tentatively titled "52" to explain, in real-time, what has happened since the one-year jump. You'll just have to pick it up to find out how the world is altered by the time warp. The results promise to change the.way you look at comics for a long time. But before you indulge in comic-history-inthe-making, you don't want to miss out on the wickedly delightful back story, where everything starts to fall apart. Hopefully, this handy guide the Avenue has provided for you will ensure you don't skip a beat in the lives of all the best DC comic heroes. Note: Cut along the dotted lines for an easyto-use checklist. I Ultimate Guide for 'Infinite Crisis' I .Identity Crisis Kicking everything off in 2004, the wildly popular seven-part miniseries by Brad Meltzer and Rags Morales went back to press for four printings. If the plot hasn't been ruined for you yet, I'm not going to spoil it. Things get complicated for the JLA in a tear-jerking, gutwrenching way. Be sure to check out the hardcover with commentary by Meltzer and Morales, plus Morales' sketchbook and more available Sept. 7. Countdown To Infinite Crisis The mammoth 80-page one-shot written by Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka and Judd Winick (yeah, that guy from MTV's "Real World 3") alluded to the darker days ahead for the DCU with one mighty-contemptible act by Maxwell Lord. Once you pick that up, you'll be all set for the final countdown, four six-issue minis currently in progress, so snatch 'em up while you still can. The OMAC Project "The OMAC Project" picks up right where "Countdown" left off. Greg Rucka and Jesus Saiz show us just how heinous Maxwell Lord can be, but fear not, he gets his just desserts. Rann-Thanagar War Dave Gibbons, Ivan Reis and Marc Campos explode with a DC space adventure starring Adam Strange, Green Lantern, Hawkman and Hawkgirl as the planets Rann and Thanagar get a little too close for comfort. Villains United Hot talent Gail Simone makes it fun to root for the bad guys. In this series, a group of villains refuse to join the new Secret Society of Super Villains. It's refreshing to see a comic about villains for a change. Day Of Vengeance Writer Bill Willingham (of "Fables" fame) spins the yam about the Spectre, out to eliminate all traces of magic in the DCU, but the Shadowpact, a small group of heroes, fights to stop him.

I enjoy watching them, but for the most part I consider myself a complete and utter wimp. I will literally jump out of my seat and launch onto the person next to me at every obviously plarned part of the movie. "Red Eye" was no different, and the person I went with will definitely never call me again. Wes Craven strayed from his normal horror gore to the suspense genre in his latest flick. The movie stars Rachel McAdams (The Notebook) and Cillian Murphyt (Batman Begins). The two are on the same airline flight, check in at the gate right next to each other and happen to have assigned seats next to each other. Coincidence? I think not. In mid-flight, it turns out that Murphy is an assassin. What does this have to do with McAdams? Well, I found it to be a stretch, but McAdams runs the hotel that Mr. Homeland Security is staying at and Murphy needs McAdams to change the hotel room of Mr. Homeland Security so he can murder him more conveniently. Throw in your typical rock and a hard place, add in a plane and a dash of turbulence and you have yourself a genuine, suspense-filled thriller. The movie is good and thoroughly entertaining. The acting was also done surprisingly well by both McAdams and Murphy. He plays the psycho-asMelissa sassin part well, especially considering Filipkowski half of his lines are delivered in whisThe Reel Life pers. He comes off exactly as he is suptheavenue@aIligator.org posed to -cold and creepy. Easily the best part of the movie is the 45 minutes or so they are in the air. Craven is a master at suspense -he has proven this over and over, so it is no surprise to me the movie was done well. Of course there are some parts that don't completely make sense and some plot holes, but nothing to severely take away from the entertainment factor of the movie. Audiences will enjoy "Red Eye" enough to save it from a crash landing at the box office. QB Vision makes game 'damn hard' onths of enthusiastic anticipation culminated when -this year's installment of the world's most popular professional football video game series, Madden Football 06, was released to countless drooling fans around the globe and they discovered something they never would have dreamt. They didn't really like it. Why? QB Vision. Why? It's too damn hard. But I bet being an NFL quarterback is pretty hard too, so I insisted on giving QB Vision a fair chance. In case you don't know, this year the people at EA Sports decided to revolutionize the passing system in Madden and add a player-controlled, cone-shaped graphic during plays that represents the direction and width of the quarterback's view. A quarterback can throw outside his view but will throw poorly, and the size of the cone depends on the stats of the quarterback. In theory, this feature sounds like a clever and realistic addition to an already intricate and realistic game. In reality, it just makes -throwing a good pass slower. And after more than enough games of Madden to decide, I've determined that with no time on the clock and two 330-pound monsters blitzing my blind side, QB Vision is just one more thing I don't want to have to worry about -but it doesn't ruin games, it is just a challenge. So while I've already lost a big game and given up a dozen sacks because of QB Vision, it doesn't make me want to stop playing. It makes me want to get better. I want to masBrett ter QB Vision to Kelman access the posDon't Hate the Playa sible advantages theavenue@aIligator.org it promises, like looking a DB off a wide receiver or reading a draw play off the QB's eyes. So if you've sworn off this year's Madden because of QB Vision, quit your whining and next time you bomb it downfield to Randy Moss, look at him first. I think he likes the attention anyway. __ _ _ -_ ___ _ -_ _ -_ I

16, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 AUDIOLOGY Dark recordings top cliche The New Amsterdams Killed or.Cured Vagrant Records Whatever your problems, Matt Pryor's sonwriting on The New Amsterdams' newest release, "Killed or Cured," might help you articulate them. Better known as The Get Up Kids' front man, Pryor formed The New Amsterdams five years ago as an outlet for his darker songs. While on tour with the Kids last year, Pryor found himself missing home and his family. Expecting his second child in the coming weeks, Pryor decided it was time to stop. After explaining his feelings to his bandmates, he turned to pen and paper to create what would eventually be dubbed "Killed or Cured." Once Pryor finished the full-length album, Vagrant Records decided to shelve the album until the end of the TGUK's farewell tour this summer. After a year's wait, five tracks of "Killed or Cured" were instead released as a free online download. The stripped-down, acoustic guitar-driven songs on the album might be revealing and overly depressing, but I definitely felt assured I'm not the only one with problems. Whether you've had a rough night or need music for a long drive home, this set of honest songs is perfect listening. Silverstein Diocoverinog the Waferfronot Victory Records What does the music industry think it is doing? With the recent explosion of the once underground emo/ hardcore scene, the industry has signed groups who boast more commercial appeal than musical talent. As time passes, albums will become more indistinguishable between these undeserving bands. Silverstein's latest release, "Discovering the Waterfront," is no exception. After selling 200,000 copies of its major label debut, the Canadian quintet didn't think twice about altering its cookie-cutter sound for their newest release. For "Discovering the Waterfront," Sil verstein continued to hone its systematic formula of songwriting, sacrificing originality to make a more commercially-friendly album. Behind the helm, producer/engineer Cameron Webb (Hawthorne Heights, Sum 41) helped the group write more power-chord heavy, catchy chorus, ready-for-radio times. If you are content listening to albums not necessarily presenting anything new for the genre, "Discovering." is a well-conceived and constructed album. Vocalist Shane Told improved his lines on the album by singing in a more comfortable register and screaming more sporadically. The music from the rest of the band is solid; no more and no less. However, until Silverstein becomes less concerned with money and fame than music, its albums will continue to fail at impressing anyone. -DAVID JONES Island food delights By CHAN TRAN News Bites With some stretch of imagination, the Cabana Cove Caribbean Grille resembles one of the tropical nooks parked on the shores of an exotic island 300 miles south of the Florida coast. Cabana Cove is tucked behind Garden Gate Nursery, a few hundred yards off Northwest 43rd Street, where the traffic noise fades and trees are abundant. The scenic atmosphere can be enhanced by dining outside on a covered, wooden porch that nearly wraps around the restaurant. And if I was merely charmed by Cabana Cove's secluded location or its paim-tree-and-bamboo d6cor, its delicious Caribbean dishes won me over. The food's authenticity matched the steel-drum music playing over the restaurant's speakers. For my entree, I finally settled on the mahi mahi with the citrus coriander rub and banana lime salsa. The salsa on the mahi mahi comforted my palate with the subtle blend of sweet and sour. However, next time I'd choose a different rub because the citrus coriander was not as explosively tasteful as I'd anticipated. Chan Tran At this News Bites point, I had theavenue@alligator.org more than my stomach could handle, but I could not pass up dessert -especially for one with a fun name like Cabana Banana. Shaped in what I can only describe as a "banana boat," the fruit is split down the middle, misted with rum and stuffed with nuts, chocolate chips and coconut flakes baked into the skin. A spoonful of the dessert with whipped cream and chocolate syrup nearly melted me. This banana dessert was a fun and delicious way to get my daily potassium amount.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 27 Busy surre r f or vo e tr By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer While their teammates were spending the summer at home or toiling in the sweltering Gainesville sun, a trio of UF volleyball players spent their time jetsetting around the world to face the strongest competition on the planet. Sophomore Marcie Hampton competed for the U.S. National Team at the Montreux Volley Masters in Switzerland and for the Junior National Team at the U-20 World Championships in Turkey, while senior Jane Collymore played for the national team at both the World Grand Prix and the Pan American Cup. Collymore was the starting outside hitter and was a teammate of fellow UF player Angie McGinnis at the Pan Am. "There's nothing we can do on campus that comes close to equating to that," UF coach Mary Wise said. "In the world of volleyball there aren't the summer leagues that baseball has. I think the analogy would be closer to football. It's hard for football players to get game-like experience in the summer. For our players, it has to happen at the highest levels internationally." ""Yes it was [rowdier]," Hampton said. "Especially against the USA team, because no one likes us, so they were a lot louder." Marcie Hampton UF outside hitter Collymore won what Wise called the "Frequent Flyer Award," after competing in the Dominican Republic, China and Korea during the summer, and was a major factor in the United States' fourth place finish at the Pan-American Cup, including a 14-kill effort in a quarterfinal victory against former UF star Aury Cruz's Puerto Rico squad. "It was amazing," Collymore said. "I just feel very fortunate that I had the opportunity to play with the best volleyball players in the world and to see such great and amazing culture while I was at it." Culture was a major part of Gainesville native Hampton's experiences. After playing alongside three Olympians in the Montreux Volley Masters in June, Hampton was the captain of the U.S. Junior National team during the U-20 World Championships in Turkey. Although Hampton admitted that volleyball is far more popular internationally than it is stateside, the crowds were particularly boisterous when her team took the court. "Yes it was [rowdier]," Hampton said. "Especially against the USA team, because no one likes us, so they were a lot louder." With Turkey's proximity to the Middle East and the general perception of the United States in that area, Hampton's team, which scored an upset against Japan during the tournament, traveled with a heavy security detail. "We always had, like, three security guards with us everywhere we went," Hampton said. "The gym was filled with police, so there was a lot of security over there. They took good care of us." lol Gators globetrotter Marcie Hampton spent the summer sharpening her skills overseas. Andy Apicella / Alligator

28, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 UF FOOTBALL RECRUITING Gators receive 9 uomritrents for 200(3 season IN MEYER HAS BEEN RELOADING FOR THE FUTURE SINCE APRIL. By BLAKE BONSACK Alligator Writer Although the 2005 football season has yet to begin, UF coach Urban Meyer can't help but think about 2006. While no official letter of intent can be signed until Feb. 1, fie Gators have already accumulated nine verbal commitments from current high school seniors. The Gators received their first commitment in early April from Fort Myers running back prospect Chevon Walker. At 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, Walker is one of the state's more highly touted running backs. The UF coaching staff will likely sign one or two more tailbacks. The next commitment came from Stephenville, Texas quarterback Jevan Snead. Snead will graduate from high school in December and looks to join an already talented and deep group of passers including juniors Chris Leak and Gavin Dickey and freshmen Cornelius Ingram and Josh Portis. As a 6-foot-3,205-pound junior, Snead completed 184 passes for 3025 yards, 28 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Critical to Meyer's spread option offense, Snead also exhibited his ability to run the ball, gaining 525 yards and 14 touchdowns on 108 carries. "With the system that [UF's] going to run it's paramount that they get a guy that fits that system," scout.com recruiting analyst Jam-Lie Newberg said. "I think Snead is a good fit based on what I know so far -very smart, can run, can throw. He's the No. 2 rated quarterback in Texas." Perhaps the most momentous of the commits was Durham, N.C. offensive line prospect Carl Johnson. Johnson, at 6-foot-5, 348 pounds, is regarded as one of the top recruits in the nation. With four starting offensive linemen graduating from UF following this season, he cold compete for-early playing time. On the other side of the line, the Gators received commitmnents from defensive line prospects and lifelong Gators fans Terron Sanders and Corey Hobbs. At 6-foot-2, 295 pounds and 6-foot-3, 310 pounds respectively, Sanders and Hobbs could fill the need for powerful runstuffing defensive lineman to compliment the UF defense's aggressive style. After failing to sign any defensive linemen in the 2005 class, the need has become even more crucial. The Gators will likely sign two to three more defensive linemen for the 2006 class. With juniors Marcus Thomas, Ray McDonald, Joe Cohen, Steven Harris and senior Jeremy Mincey nearing graduation, this group should see playing time early on. Markihe Anderson, a 5-foot-10, 172-pound defensive back prospect from Fort Myers also verbally comnmitted. Though relatively obscure to most national and regional attention, Anderson eamed a scholarship offer after impressing the UF coaching staff with his performance at summer camps earlier this month. Anderson predominately played wide receiver through the first two, years of high school and only recently converted to his new position. The Gators also added a linebacker, Jasper native Dustin Doe. The 6-foot, 206-pound prospect is regarded as a supreme athlete with exceptional speed and strength who plays on both sides of the ball. Most recently, the Gators received comndtments from Fayetteville, Ark. prospects and teammates Ben Cleveland and Damian Williams. Cleveland, at 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, is an athletic pass-catching tight end much in the same mold as current UF starter Tate Casey and should fill the team's need for a large possession receiver who can create mismatches with his size and speed. Williams, at 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, is the first commitment in what is anticipated to be one of the top receiver classes of the year. By the Feb. 1 national signing day, Meyer will look to sign 25 to 30 recruits to scholarships.

And the not-sosmooth operator wasted no time in making his new press buddies fully aware of his martyrdom at UP. "I think that maybe in Florida the expectations were a little out of sync where they were talent wise," Zook said. "And I think that here in Illinois, our talent level ntightbe better than the expectations here. That might be a little more convenient for our players here as well." Well, I should hope there would be slightly lower standards for a school that has gone 4-19 and 1-15 in conference play during the past two seasons.

It was January 2, 2002, and the Gators wrapped up a measly 10-2 season with a 56-23 defeat of Maryland;claiming the No. 3 spot in the final AP poll. Seven days later, Zook inherited a team in disarray. What was he to do with all the talentless hacks -Rex Grossman, Taylor Jacobs, Earnest Graham -with whom the Dl' Ball Coach left Zook. But let's entertain the guy. Fine Ron. Sure, the "cupboard" was bare. How does that argument possibly benefit his image? In 2002, Zook robbed Grossman of a Heisman en route to an 8-5 (6-2 Southeastern Conference) season, capped with a 38-30 loss to Michigan. He maintained the mediocrity with another 8-5 record in '03, highlighted by a 37-17 trouncing courtesy of Iowa. At least he's already accustomed to getting spanked by the Big 10. By 2004, even with all of his masterful recruiting -and really the guy should be in sales -Zook slumped to 7-4 overall (not counting the Peach Bowl loss to Miami) and 44 in the SEC. But even with a loss to Mississippi State, I know, the team was "getting better." Zook's glass is always half-full. "It's a lot easier when you stay .positive, when the players hear some positive things instead of constantly negative things," said Zook at the press conference. "That's why, you hear so many positive things down there [at UF] now. They're trying to spin it back the other way." I would say, however, that "they" are excited about watching a competent football coach in action for a change. But hate him or love him, we'll all miss his zingers. "We're two hours from 8 million people. We're two and a half hours from 3 million people," said Zook of Illinois' centralized location for recruiting. "I mean, we got a bunch of people around here."

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 UFIFOOTBALLrNOTEBO Defense 'growing up' whmile filling in for inju .red stars By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer Ianastasis@aIiigator.org Bunouts. Brian Crum, Steven Harris and Vernell Brown were just three of a number of defensive players who had all but staked claim to the burnout label. They arrived to campus as studs but almost became duds. Yet now, just nine days before the Gators play Wyoming, these same players seem to be headlining an improved defense. So what gives? "I think it's just growing up," UF coach Urban Meyer said. "A lot of times guys who haven't played much will show up as juniors. That's what [Crum] is. I think he's been challenged and he's been put in a position where he has to play and I think he's a good kid that wants to help the Gators." Crum, Harris and Brown have had no choice but to step up considering the number of injuries the defense has suffered. Of the three, however, Harris seems to have improved the most. Harris, now a redshirt junior, figures to play as much as anyone on a solid UF defensive line. "Here's a kid that came in here at 212 pounds and now he's got himself up to 280 pounds," co-defensive coordinator Greg Mattison said. "Kids don't come -in and play good at 212 but when they get the experience and keep battling, you never know." Crum, a redshirt junior, should imuasey/ AlligaorStaff After shuffling from tight end to linebacker while seeing little action on the field, Brian Crum and several other former benchwarmers are earning favor with UF's new coaching staff. play plenty at linebacker, while the undersized Brown will start at cornerback. Nelson Returns Just when it seemed like comerback Reggie Nelson's staph infection might doom the Gators' secondary against Wyoming, the junior returned to practice in a limited role Wednesday Still, after seeing the heralded transfer miss eight consecutive days of contact drills, Meyer will bring Nelson back slowly. "He just hasn't played at this level in forever, but he's a gifted guy," Meyer said. "Gifted people usually make up [time] quicker." Nelson was supposed to enroll at UF two years ago, but academic woes forced him to attend Coffeyville Community College in Kansas. Now, Nelson is trying to earn a backup cornerback spot.If everything goes right for the junior, he could even vie for a starting job at some point this season. Still up for Grabs Meyer is waiting. And waiting. Andwaiting. As the Gators drew another day closer to Wyoming, DeShawn Wynn, Skyler Thornton and Markus Manson continued butting legs, but none have taken control of the coveted starting tailback job. "They've all shown signs of being pretty good players, but no one's taking the job yet," Meyer said. This and that Players attended their first classes Wednesday, and despite Meyer's strict tab on attendance, there was little concern about whether players will respect it. "Hopefully we're beyond that," Meyer said. "We're getting ready to play in nine days and I think they know they need to go to class." Offensive lineman Randy Hand left practice because of a bone bruise in his knee. Cornerback Dee Webb sat out another practice because of a sqparated left shoulder. The linebacker stock remains thin as Earl Everett, Brandon Siler and Todd McCullough continue nursing injuries. Gators prove that short kicks make the difference in the long run U rban Meyer's first season at UF is about to start, and there are many unanswered questions. Of course, there are some that have been asked a billion times, like, "Can Chris Leak run this offense?" But one of the largest question marks heading into this season is the uncertainty hovering over UTF's kicking game right now. Freshman Jonathan Phillips was given a scholarship with the idea that he would step in and replace Matt Leach, UF's kicker for the past two seasons. I know what you're thinking: Who cares about kickers? They're barely on the team. Even Phillips himself was surprised when anyone wanted to interview him at UF's media day. Here's where this needs to be cleared up. The kicking game may be a mess this season. Meyer himself said it is a "big-time concern." Phillips is pretty much out of contention, Meyer said. "I thought he would take the job or compete for the job, and he acts like a freshman," Meyer said. "He's got talent, he just has to grow up a little bit." That leaves walk-ons Chris Hetland and Eric Nappy competing for the job. I haven't -seen enough of either recently because practice has been closed, but it is disconcerting that neither one of them has ever kicked a field goal in a college game. Here's how important the kicking game can be. Five Gators games in the past two seasons have been directly affected by a field goal. Here they are: MLB Billy Donovan received a 2006 Marlins 4 commitment on Wednesday. BranBrewers 6 don Powell. a 6-foot-4, 190 pound Braves Cubs 3 I guard verbally agreed to play for the UF men's basketball team. eKentucky, 2003: UF wins 24-21. Matt Leach was 1-for-2.

Had he made it, this also would've been an overtime game. eGeorgia, 2003: In a 16-13 UF win that featured only one touchdown by each team, this game rested squarely on the kickers' feet. Leach hit three, while Georgia's Billy Bennett hit two, missing one early to eventually lose the game. l If you love.volleyball and soccer, you'll drool over Friday's special season preview edition of alligatorSports.

Had he missed it, UF would've lost. oTennessee, 2004: How could we forget this one? Leach missed his only attempt, a 21-yard chip shot. The Vols' James Wilhoit made a 50-yarder to win the game 30-28. Had Leach made his, UF would've been up 31-27 at the time and the Vols would've had to have scored a touchdown. That's five out of 25 games. The numbers speak for themselves. When Meyer was asked if Phillips' problem was with consistency, he replied with an obvious answer. "He's struggling kicking the ball through [the uprights]," Meyer said.

30, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 L. L. E E 4By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff writer July 11, 2005 Call it motivation or call it a talent differential, but David Lee showed no mercy to former UF teammate Christian Drejer on July 11. In their first meeting since Drejer deserted the Gators -and his best friend Lee -in the middle of the 2004 season to play in Europe, the two met up in the NBA Summer League. Lee, the final pick of the first round for New York, and Drejer, attempting to make New Jersey's roster as a free agent, met in Las Vegas. Lee had his best performance of the summer in New York's 8674 victory, scoring 19 points with eight rebounds on 5-of-6 shooting in 33 minutes. Drejer, whom UF coach Billy Donovan once called the best player he ever saw in practice, scored just four points in 16 minutes. "It was weird," Lee said. "I ended up doing a pretty good job on him. It was disappointing the way it ended for him. Really, he was a pretty good kid that made a dumb decision to leave." Lee said Drejer approached Su.th Carolina faces an additionalyear of probation STAFF REPORT South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier will face additional season handcuffed by sanctions after the NCAA added an extra year to South Carolina's self-imposed two years' probation on Wednesday. Responding to 10 infractions cormnitted under former Coach Lou' Holtz, South Carolina had already taken away four scholarships from the football program during the next two years and reduced by 12 the number of paid on-campus visits by recruits. "We are satisfied with the results," Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier said."We appreciate the NCAA basically agreeing with our proposal. For the next couple of years, we will only have 83 players on scholarship." .The NCAA will also require the school to forward an infractions report to its regional accrediting agency and imposed a four-year show cause order should former South Carolina. administrator Tom Perry try for employment at another athletic department. Perry, an ex-senior associate athletic director for academic support services, was at the center of the most serious violations. The report found Perry arranged for impermissible tutoring help during the summer of 2001 for two prospective players who were coming from two-year colleges. After the incident was self-reported, Perry declared the athletes ineligible and made the players make restitution for the tutoring. The sociated Press Spurrier contributed to this report. UF GOLFERS ADVANCE:After recording the lowest amateur score in the history of the U.S. Open, Matt Every is continuing to climb the amateur ranks -this time with some familiar company. Every and teammate Brett Stegmaier advanced to the second round of the match-play at the U.S. Amateur Championship after capturing wins on Wednesday. Every advanced with a strong outing, defeating George Bryan of Columbia, S.C. 4and-3, and Stegnaier defeated Brian Carroll of Crystal Lake, Ill. 6-and-5.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2005 E ALLIGATO, 31 These are highlights from the sunieur intervies between UF President Bernie Machen and Alligator sports editor Andrew Abrantson. AA: Should there be a playoff in college football? BM: I think there should.-I think the idea that we wouldn't go to a playoff because it would mean another game is not exactly fair. When you look at how many teams our baseball team played, they played close to 80 games this year. Look at the basketball team: they played 35 or 40 games. So, the problem is the bowl system and how you integrate the bowl system with a playoff game, but it can be done. I think-it will be done because obviously the BCS systemeven the newest integration of it-is not going to work. Sooner or later we're going to have to come up with a playoff system. AA: So you do see a playoff systenr existing sometime in the future? BM: I do. I'm in the definite minority now. When I meet with other college presidents the overwhelming majority do not want to entertain the notion of a playoff system, but in my opinion it will come. AA: Why do you think the other presidents don't want a playoff? BM: I think logic would say it's what we ought to do. I think Im being logical and I don't think they are so it's hard for me to figure it out. I think many of them like the status quo. The bend that they've made to try to incorporate with the non-BCS schools with this one-over game they're adding is just not going to work. AA: The extra game didn't really change anything, did it? BM: No. The bowls are really worried about it too because they don't think it'sgoing to work either. I think sooner or later we'll have a playoff. AA: Do you think it should be a fourteam or eight-team playoff? BM: Wait, I'm not an expert. I just think we could figure out a way to have a playoff system that works through the bowls and gets the students back in class in early January. I just don't think that's so difficult to accomplish. AA: What will it take to change it? BM: A couple more failures with the BCS system. AA: Getting off the playoff i4sue, numerous underclassmen in college basketball, including Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson, went to the NBA Draft and weren't selected. Now these athletes cannot return to college athletics. What are your thoughts on kids leaving school early to play pro sports? BM: If you havesome certain about what your future is going to be, and you' can be a first round pick, just given the financial security that goes along with that [it's understandable]. So unless you're a [guaranteed] first round choice;;I think you ought to stay in college. Look afDavid Lee. He stayed here for four years, he did it right, he became a better player, he graduated and he squeaked-into the first round with a guaranteed contract with the New York Knicks. I think we ought to hiok at David Lee's way to go as the way we ought to make it work for our student athletes. AA: Do you think it's a larger problem that these student-athletes are receiving advice from all over? BM: I don't know who's feeding these people, but a lot of people commented that there's no way that Walsh and Roberson were going to go in the first round, no way. It was just common talk, and yet they seemed to think they had a chance at going; so they went. What are they going to, be doing? If they're lucky they're going to be playing in the developmental league for a pro team, and if that doesn't work they're going to be playing in Europe. Why wouldn't it be better to be playing for the University of Florida, completing your col0 with lege degree, and then go up for the draft next year? AA: And Florida would have been awfully, good next year with Walsh and Roberson. BM: With those two guys, with the young players we've got, it would have been a great place for them to get better and show their stuff. AA: I think there's a mindset going on that if you stay for a senior year, your game is going to criticized, BM: Yeah, I read that it hurts you to stay your senior year, and I don't believe that. David Lee's a good example of why that just isn't true. AA: You're surrounded by big-time college athletics, so what do you think makes college sports better dun the pros, or Vice versa? BM;, Ldon't even enjoy watchingpo, football or pro basketballanymore. If the team concept that makes the difference. It's pying together for a university with a lot of ernoton. The game is what if's all about, not the individuAt thing. It's even more prevalent today in women's sports. If you watch the women's softball teams or the women's volleyball games or soccer gAmes, y'ouseteam sports at its very best. Pro spor too much of a business. There, are some great athletes as individ uals. Look at the teams that are doing well, it's kind of affirming to see that the two best teams in pro basketball are team-San Antonio id Detroit. Teams that have a bunch of stars that play as individuals can't make it to the end of the season. AA: When you arrived in Gainesville, were you surprised at th'enthusiasm surrounding UF sports? BM: Well, actually, I knew it was one of the top overall programs in the country. I measure that not so much by football, which a lot of schools have, but by the depth of the program -especially women's sports. I was very impressed coming in by the quality of the swimming and diving team, the women's soccer team, the gymnastics team and the volleyball team. Women's basketball had a rough go, but I knew it was a good program. AA: What about just the overall fan supIf you are: .If y Female 19-39 years old Healthy Non-smoking Non-pregnant or nursing Not taking prescription medication (excluding oral contraceptives) ou are willing to: Provide medical history information Complete a dietary questionnaire Have blood drawn once (following an overnight fast) an online calendar of "Stuff To Do" a Thursday through Sunday vist the st t Funded by the Office of the Provost and the Division of Student Affairs The program is coordinated by the Office of Campus Programs.

BM: I've never seen anything like it. At most places-including Michigan, which is a pretty fair football school-never would a spring sports and the spring game have the kind of attraction that it does here. Many schools are doing away with the spring game. Obviously that wouldn't work here given the fan interest in making it happen. But I realized a number of things. First, last fall going through a coaching search with all the help that I received, I realized there's a lot of people paying attention to what's going on with football. And generally once Coach Meyer came and seeing the enthusiasm outpour for him, I realized we were in a different place. AA: In Division 1A college football there are only four African-Americans currently serving as head coaches. Do you see diversity still being a problem in college sports? BM: It sure is. It's a problem in universities like ours, anyway. Our problem is we are only going to hire someone who's already a head coach. It's not possible to be able to come into this job in football without prior head-coaching experience. When you look at the Division II and Division I schools that have African-American head coaches, there are none. We looked hard to find a pool:There was one Hispanic coach and one African-American coach but they just [didn't have the experience]. So we have to do more to develop better coaches. I think Charlie Strong's going to be a great coach. My greatest fear is that he's going to be a head coach too soon. He's ready, I just don't want him to go. Charlie Strong is a fabulous individual and a great coach. He's going to be a head coach. I think that will be to Florida's credit when he moves on and becomes a Division I head coach. AA: Is it a problem that will fix itself over time? BM: No, I think it's going to take constant pressure to make sure that there's an emphasis on developing African-American coaches. I know Jeremy [Foley] would love to hire African-American coaches when he can .The problem is that the level in which we're recruiting, we just don't have a feeder system that makes that possible. That's why we've got to give coaches a chance to move up and get better.
