STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Elections may hamper computer lab
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
Student Government may have to
throw a glitch into the accessibility of a
popular computer lab for a few days to
make sure the Fall election runs smoothly.
SG Supervisor of Elections Daniel
Maland said he needs nine more comput-
ers to implement secured-site online vot-
ing Sept. 27 and 28 and he may have to
take the machines from SG's computer lab
on the, third floor of the Reitz Union.
"No matter what the computer lab will
not be closed in its entirety to students,"
he said. "I can't eliminate [borrowing
some computers] as an option right now
as much as I'd like to. This is Plan Z.
Borrowing from one area (of campus) is an
extremely difficult process."
However, Maland said he is confident,
that with the help of the CIRCA computer
Wyoming's
pass attack is
expected to give
UF's revamped
secondary trouble.

believes the
Gators' secondary
is underrated.

labs and the University Registrar, the situ-
ation will be resolved.
"I think it's going along great," he said
of the transition to online voting. "As of
right now we are directly on target to have
- it implemented this Fall."
"I think it's going along great. As

Daniel Maland
SG supervisor of elections
In late Summer,. Student Senate passed
the secured-site online voting initiative
allowing students to vote by computer
at designated polling locations on cam-
pus and is expected to save SG $30,000
each election. The Senate rejected "unse-
cured-site" online voting, which would
"Copyrighted Material

Available from Commercial News Providers"
have allowed students to vote from any
computer, on campus or'off, using their
GatorLink accounts.
Maland said the new system calls for
about 50 polling-station computers that
run Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.
Student Body President Joe Goldberg
said he would approve removing the
computers if it ensures the voting system
will be ready for later this month.
"I think that we have a mandate by
the student body to do online voting,"
he said. "I think it's unfortunate that.we
don't have all the resources to do that, but
we have been asked to make that happen.
We're going to make that happen in what-
ever way we can."
Goldberg said the apparent lack of
resources.was caused mostly by the prox-
imity of the legislation to election time but
added the new election system is worth
possible growing pains.
"It's a step in the right direction," he said.
* Student Government kicks off the
Fall election season as the Gator
and Impact parties begin seeking
candidates for the 46 open Student
Senate seats.
Students seeking to represent their
peers can apply in the Reitz Union
today, Friday or Tuesday.

* AS FLORIDA QUICKLY GROWS LARGER THAN
EVER, IT MAY NEED ANOTHER UNIVERSITY.
By JOHN W. COX
Alligator Contributing Writer
Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis and even
Katrina can't scare them away. The Sunshine State is
still the place to be.
A projected population increase of more than 2 mil-
lion people in the next five years may make a new state
university a necessity, a UF professor said.
UF is already feeling the pressure with a freshman
class of about 550 more students than expected.
"There are various areas in the state where students
don't have good access to higher education," said
Grant Thrall, a UF economic geography professor,
who was hired by the board that oversees the State
University System to analyze- the demand for higher
education.
Thrall submitted a report to the Florida Board of
Governors outlining the importance of a new univer-
sity.
Student "It is a necessity if our objective is to
Life provide higher quality education," Thrall
said. "It's not uncommon that a very good
student has to go away to Orlando or
South Florida."
The Board was not looking to create competition
for UF but rather a supplement, Thrall said. A new
university would target good students who couldn't
get into UF.
Good students who cannot get into UF do not have
fair access to other reputable universities, he said.
Central Florida is not the only area affected by these
issues. Most population increases will occur in South
Florida, Thrall said.
"If we're going to have access to higher education in
the state, there will have to be more branches of already
existing campuses or new campuses," Thrall said.
UF has been impacted already by an increase in
student enrollment. Each year, admissions officials
must estimate how many students they should accept
in order to bring in the desired number of freshmen.
If for some reason their estimate is off, for example,
when the Bright Futures Scholarship Program first
began, they may end up with more students than the
university can manage.
The estimates are never exact because officials
never know how many of the accepted students will
decide to attend.
"The yield rate was pretty phenomenal," said Albert
Matheny, UF's director of Academic Advising.
Of the 22,000 applications for the Summer and Fall
terms, 12,000 students were accepted, Matheny said.
The normal yield rate for the Summer term is much

NATIONAL
Poll: Public divided on
whether humans evolved
WASHINGTON (AP)
Americans are divided on whether
humans and other living things
evolved over time or have existed in
their present forms since the begin-
ning of time, according to a new poll.
People on both sides of the ar-
gument think students should hear
about various theories, however.
Nearly two-thirds of those in a
Pew Research Center poll, 64 per-
cent, said they believe creationism
should be taught alongside evolu-
tion a finding likely to. spark
more controversy about what is
taught in the schools.
That controversy could be re-
lated to the difficulty of measuring
public sentiment about teaching
evolution, creationism or the more
recent concept of "intelligent de-
sign," a Pew official said.

SG election season begins with ethics vows, slating
By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org
Students seeking to represent their peers in
the Senate can apply in the Reitz Union today,
Friday or Tuesday.
The 46 open Senate seats represent resi-
dence halls and off-campus zip codes.
The first step to being slated, or tapped to
run with an SG party, is qualifying, which will
take place in Room 346. of the Reitz Union to-
day and Friday and in Room 288 on Tuesday.
Prospective senators must have a 2.0 GPA, a
12-credit undergraduate or 9-credit graduate
courseload and a clean conduct record on
campus.
Qualified students can then interview with
the Gator or Impact party, the only two slat-
ing candidates for the Fall election. Gator will
interview in Room 347 today and Friday and
Room 276 on Tuesday. Impact's interviews
will be in Room 355 today, Room 349 on
Friday and Room 277 on Tuesday.
Qualifying and interviewing both go from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Students who do not interview, or who
interview and are not slated, can run indepen-
dently. All candidates must attend a manda-
tory election meeting Sept. 7.
Student Government kicked off the Fall
election season Wednesday with a first-of-its-
kind meeting to ensure the two parties run
ethical campaigns.
Impact and Gator party leaders met with
Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland on
Wednesday night..
The supervisor watched party representa-
tives read the SG election codes, asking them
to affirm after each section that they under-
stood the contents.
"Ignorance is no longer an excuse," he said.
Students had pled ignorance to accusations
of foul play in the Spring elections, he said.
Maland swore to hold
,Student the parties accountable for
.ti. ,,any violations committed
during campaigning.
The statutes prohibit campaigning in class-
rooms, door-to-door campaigning on campus
.and promising benefits to a student or organi-
zation in exchange for political support.
Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski also
spoke at the meeting.
"Last year's elections were a bit of a chal-
lenge," he said, noting a state official told him
Florida elections were simpler than UF's.
Zdziarski said he wanted to see an ethical
campaign without people being "threatened,
coerced and harassed."
Maland said members of the election com-
mission were cornered and threatened by
party members during last Spring's election,
according to accounts he had heard.
"Horrible, horrible things were done,"
Maland said. "They won't be taken lightly."
The two parties also begin reviewing can-
didates for Student Senate seats today.
Gator spokesman Thomas Philpot said his
party offers the more experienced leaders.
"You're going to see a considerable advan-
tage in the experience and the ideas that The
Gator Party is able to offer," he said.
Impact President Thomas Jardon said his
party will try to "turn no one away."
"Our main intent is to make sure SG repre-
sents all students fairly and equally," he said.
Impact's platform has three tenets: "real"
online voting, responsible spending of student
money and the end of legacy positions in SG.
Jardon said SG should "spend less on lob-
bying trips to (Washington) D.C." and more
on free printing, Sunday bus service and wire-
less access throughout campus.
Gator's platform has not been finalized,
but Philpot said the party will continue to pur-
sue last Spring's objectives. These include free
online music, campus wireless access, gym
towels and improved readership programs.
The Voice and Access parties also regis-
tered for the Fall election, but representatives
said they were only securing the party names.
"I felt pretty bad last year when it was
taken for political reasons," Access President
Ansell Fernandez said. "We're looking to get
Access back to the way it was."
Fernandez said he has not yet decided
whether he will support a party.
Voice President Peter Gruskin said his
party is "with Impact and Progress."
"We don't want to split up the.non-Gator
vote," Gruskin said.
Students Interested in Snident Senate
candidacy, can apply for 11 seats representing
on-campus housing and 35 seats representing
off-campus constituents.

Credit-card surcharges affect students' bottom lines
UF: No profit gained from 'convenience fee'
By BOBBY KEITH
Alligator Contributing Writer
There's a banner hanging above
the back entrance of Criser Hall that
states, "Students enter here to pay
your fees."
Maybe it should say, "Students
enter here to avoid paying extra."
Since July 26 a fee of 2.6 percent
has been added to all online credit-
card payments made on ISIS for all
student. fees and "account-receiv-
able charges." This encompasses
everything UF students owe to the
university, including parking fines,
infirmary charges and tuition.
Students have only two ways to
avoid paying the fee: pay online with
an electronic check or wait in line at
S113 Criser Hall and pay in person.
Making the trek to Criser Hall will
spare students the extra charge.
"I had to come here in person
because it cost, like, $77 more to
pay [tuition] online," said graduate
student Tiffany Lightner, 22. "I also
had to park illegally."
UF implemented the additional
cost in order to offset processing fees
charged to the university.
The trip to Criser Hall may be
difficult for some students who
don't live near campus.
Jeff Grant, 23, is taking all his
classes through the Internet in
Naples and is not required to set
foot on campus all semester.
"This could be a real hassle for
me," Grant said.
About 22 percent of UF students
paid their fees on ISIS with credit
cards last year, said Stuart Hoskins,
senior associate controller at UF.
Graduate student Leila Noriega,
24, decided to pay in person this
year to avoid the added cost.
"It doesn't make much sense
why they just decided to charge us,"
Noriega said.
But Hoskins said it does.
The revenue generated through
the "convenience fee," he said, will
go directly to the credit-card compa-
nies and to'the contracted outsourc-
ing company, which is a middleman
that processes ISIS transactions. UF
will not profit from the fee, Hoskins
added.
As a result of the charge, students
will no longer be able to use their
VISA credit cards to pay tuition on
ISIS, creating another potential in-
convenience for many students.
"It doesn't make much
sense why they just decid-
ed to charge us."

VISA doesn't allow surcharges to
be added to the consumer's bill by
any merchant, said Randa Ghnaim,
spokeswoman for Visa USA.
"Other universities have stopped
using VISA for the same reason,"
Ghnaim said. "It's a rule that we
require every merchant to follow."
As a result MasterCard and
American Express are the only two
remaining credit cards students can
use on ISIS.
Hoskins said VISA would still be
accepted if the service charge were a
flat rate, such as $10 per transaction,
instead of a percentage.
"We couldn't decide on a flat fee
that would be appropriate to use
for both a parking ticket and your
tuition," Hoskins said.
He said most UF students receive
grants and scholarships, and their
fees are paid out within the first
weeks of the school year. These
students receive deferments and are
not required to pay until November.
But even then the same rules will
apply for all students.
Despite stern statute ISIS surcharge likely not illegal under Florida law
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
UF's new. online credit-card usage fee has
raised the question of whether or not it is legal
to charge students more money depending on
how they pay their tuition.
Florida Statute 501.0117 states a seller "may
not impose a surcharge on the buyer or lessee for
electing to use a credit card in lieu of payment by
cash, check or similar means, if the seller or lessor
accepts payment by credit card."
However, the statute "does not apply to the
offering of a discount for the purpose of induc-
ing payment by cash, check or other means not
involving the use of a credit card, if the discount
is offered to all prospective customers."
Calls to UF's General Counsel and
University Financial Services for comment
were not returned Wednesday.
The statute also makes exceptions for sur-
charges on approved state or federal tariffs.
UF law professor Christopher Peterson said
the statute, despite some ambiguous wording,
probably would allow the surcharge.
"It's more likely than not that section
501.0117 does not apply to the university
because the charges in question are imposed
pursuant to an approved state tariff," he said.
The cost of operating a public university like
UF is covered only in part by tuition, he said.
"Every student at this university gets a
generous subsidy from the taxpayers of the
state," Peterson said.
"Those students who were paying by cred-
it card were being more generously subsidized
by the taxpayers than students who paid by
cash or check," he added.
Florida is one of 10 states to prohibit
credit-card surcharges, according to Bankcard
Holders of America.
Like UF local restaurants and gas stations
are charged by credit-card companies to pro-
cess transactions, and in return they charge
customers small fees to offset the cost from
credit- and debit-card usage.
Taco Bell charges drive-through customers
99 cents per debit-card transaction, and Gyro's
Falafel Plus on Southwest 13th Street charges
customers 25 cents to use their debit card and
50 cents to use credit cards.

Rash decisions
Bush administration cut
funds for hurricane plans
More than two days after Hurricane Katrina hit New
Orleans, the city is in worse shape than during the
145-mph storm.
Thousands of people are trapped in the city. Water has
broken through levees, causing the Mississippi River and Lake
Pontchartrain to flood the town's famous streets. Everything is
contaminated, and citizens are without food and water.
Most shocking, officials say dead bodies will soon cause
disease to spread through the, lake that was once a town. With
every street becoming a canal of its own, people are trapped in
houses drowning in water. Current predictions put the death
toll into the thousands.
We all knew that someday this would happen. Some areas
of New Orleans are two meters below sea level; it resembles a
soup bowl just waiting for someone to ladle in the liquid. Every
time a hurricane even points in the direction of the Gulf, people
talk about how New Orleans could disappear like Atlantis.
So why is the aftermath such a fatal mess?
The -blame first goes to the Bush administration. Since
2001 the federal government has reduced drastically fund-
ing to the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. That means the halt of plans for hurricane-proof
levees and studies into how to withstand Category 5 hur-
ricanes.
In the 2006 fiscal year alone, the Corps received a $71.2-
million reduction in federal funding.
Where did those five years of extra funding go? Probably
much was diverted to homeland security, the fight against
terrorism and the war in Iraq.
Now officials are floundering in what they repeatedly call
a "logistical nightmare." Of course it's a logistical nightmare,
but funds should have gone to help plan for it.
Instead, it's a guessing game. The latest idea is to drop
five-ton sandbags into the 400-foot breach in the London
Avenue Canal. If that doesn't work, officials are planning to
lower pieces of concrete highway.
But the federal government isn't the only one to blame for
this operation's shortcomings.
New Orleans officials only began evacuating the city a
day before the hurricane struck, despite the- lack of roads
leading out of town. Pictures of the evacuation showed cars
in stopped traffic, with people loitering on the highway.
This exodus wasn't nearly efficient enough.
Furthermore, residents without transportation were left to
Mother Nature. Herded into the highly inappropriate Louisiana
Superdome, families waited in darkness as the roof of their "safe
haven" ripped off and water seeped underneath the doors.
Now officials are planning to move the thousands still
stranded in the Superdome to the Reliant Astrodome in
Houston, 350 miles away. About 15,000 refugees a day will be
removed from the city. They say they'll do it by bus in a city 80
percent covered in water.
Wouldn't this have been easier before the hurricane struck?
Of course evacuating such a big city is never easy, and no
one likes to leave home unless it's certain a hurricane is going
to hit. However, officials had decades to plan-for such an event.
They knew it would happen one day each generation just
hoped it wouldn't be its problem. Now it is.
When the tsunami hit Asia last fall, everyone balked at the
lack of organization after hundreds of villages and towns were
washed out. No one thought such chaos could happen in the
Western world, especially the United States.
Hopefully, officials will continue to focus their energy on
evacuating survivors. The damage to the city was sealed before
the hurricane even hit.

CNN's "Crossfire" is dead. Long live "Crossfire."
While the summer death of CNN's long-running
and groundbreaking shout-at-you political debate
program inspired mourning in news junkies and ovations
from media critics, such as Comedy Central's sharp-tongued
Jon Stewart, don't shed too many tears for Robert Novak or
the rest of the "Crossfire" gang.
They'll no doubt find employment on any one of the other
approximately 19,000 debate programs, where they will con-
tinue to further the public discourse. In the manner of Cicero
and Caesar. By shouting vulgarities at each other.
Of course the great irony in all this is that the flunkies and
hacks on these shows burst capillaries in-defense of politi-
cians who long ago abandoned the core values on which they
were elected.
Your Paul Begalas and James'Carvilles will argue with fe-
rocity for liberal ideals and programs that vanished from the
political discourse during the Reagan administration. The
Democratic Party hasn't nominated a truly liberal candidate
for the presidency since George McGovern. Walter Mondale,
Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry they
were never the acolytes, of the far left that Republicans por-
trayed them to be.
The modem Democratic Party has descended so far into
cowardice and middle-of-the-roadism that. it seems surreal
for left-wing pundits to defend it with more passion than it is
willing to display in defending itself.
However, never let it be said that irrational ardor is a
partisan quality. You find on the right, too, many who will
preach with obvious sincerity on the virtues of small govern-
ment and in the next breath ferociously defend the Patriot
Act and President Bush's misadventures in Iraq.
Where in the platform of the classical Republican Party is
it written that conservatism is manifested in aggressive and
nore meaningless
Andrew Bare unnecessary foreign wars?
Speaking Out Where were small-government
republicans, so anxious in the '80s to
eviscerate the Department of Education, when the president
pushed through the No Child Left Behind Act? This piece
of education legislation established new layers of obnoxious
and obtrusive federal standards for schools at the local and
state levels.
Those Republicans exist, yes, but they find themselves
-bound and gagged by their party's leadership, which has
sold out the once-laudable principles of the RepublicaniParty
to the religious right.
So be it. Their extremist allies have delivered on their side
of the bargain, spearheading electoral eviscerations over the
past several years. But in the deal the soul of the Republican
Party has been torn asunder and sold for scrap to those more
interested in preventing two men from committing to a le-
gally recognized monogamous relationship than the virtues
of small government.
There. was a time when Republicans believed the fed-
eral government should not interfere if a corporation wanted
to... well, do anything up to and including kidnapping citi-
zens and using their bodies to fuel machinery.
There was a time when Democrats were society's irratio-
nal dreamers, demanding the piss-pots ran with naught but
claret wine.
And now the party of Lincoln is dedicated wholeheart-
edly to making gay citizens second-class citizens. And the
party of FDR no longer has the backbone to resist them.

SG should fund readership program
I am appalled that Student Government
is going to abandon the extremely successful
USA Today and New York Times readership
program. The readership program has brought
international and national news to UF students,
which papers like the Gainesville Sun and other
local papers on campus are lacking.
So students are going to be able to get the
Sun, complete with its disappointing student
section, but not the New York Times or USA
Today? The difference in the grammar alone
is reason enough to bring us the New York
Times rather than the Sun. Additionally stu-
dents can get the Sun's information for free in
the Alligator (local and campus news), but not
international or national news.
Also, I am extremely disappointed SG is

to spend that money on services that actually.

ing anyway, SG's existence? The best way to
do that is to give students services they use
and enjoy like the readership program, not TV
commercials saying how great SG is.
The Gator Party promised to "bring SG to
every Gator," but it seems like one of the most-
used services actually will be taken away from
students by the Gator Party.

Students had say in road construction
In Tuesday's column "Students should
have more say in UF issues," Scott Gilton
should have checked his facts before he started
talking.
Although I agree with most of what he
said, his comments on the construction of
Second Avenue were careless. Spend five min-
utes on the Internet and you'll find out that
Second Avenue is State Road 26A. It is a state,
not a city, project.
Second, they're not idiots. They do think of
the timing of construction, and it is scheduled
for completion in 465 days. It's hard to fit that
into a summer.
If you want to "have more say," go to the
public meetings! There were several boards
announcing the open house at the Women's
Club along Second Avenue regarding the
construction.
Take a little-time and you'll find out a lot.

Center serves as local haven for hurricane victims
Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff
Rabbi Yochanan Rivkin, director of the Chabad Jewish Student Center at Tulane University, leads a
prayer for victims of Hurricane Katrina on Wednesday evening in the Lubavich-Chabad Jewish Center.
Rivkin and his family left New Orleans last week, following evacuation orders.
By JULIA CARVALHO
Alligator Contributing Writer
As the effects of Hurricane
Katrina become more serious
with each day that passes, the
Lubavitch-Chabad Jewish Center
in Gainesville is working to keep
the hope and faith alive.
Tulane University's Chabad
Director Rabbi Yochanan Rivkin,
who left New Orleans last week
with his wife and four children,
created a temporary command
post at the center, through which
hurricane survivors can communi-
cate with relatives and find nearby
relief centers.
Rivkin and Rabbi Berl Goldman,
director of the center, led a small
prayer service Wednesday evening
for those still in New Orleans. It
began, "Deliver me, 0 God, for the
waters have reached unto my soul."
Goldman said Rivkin and his
wife, Sarah, have been working
day and night to help people
who have left New Orleans to
get in touch with nearby Chabad
centers. They are also serving as
messengers, sending e-mails or
calling people whose relatives
they have been able to reach in
New Orleans.
Today, for example, a woman
was able to reach Rivkin to say she
had made it out of New Orleans to
Alabama. Rivkin immediately sent
the girl's grandmother an e-mail.
"We're talking about mind-
numbing devastation," Rivkin said
and stressed that faith is comfort-
ing when dealing with disasters
like this.
"Faith helps show that life is
more than just material posses-
sions," he said.
The Rivkins have attended con-
ferences in Gainesville in the past
and decided last week they would
come here when New Orleans re-
ceived an evacuation order.
Though they thought it would
be only for a few days, they are
now unsure of when they will go
home.
The Rivkins said their family of
six will stay with relatives in New
York if they are unable to return
soon to New Orleans.

may have played a role.

Precious shares a desk with one of his

FBI files
inspire local
art exhibition
By GABRIELLA VIGIER
Avenue Writer
Many in America believe The Man is watching
them. History proves the government not only did
that, it kept files on them, too.
Most people never see their files, but UF fine arts
professor Arnold Mesches went a step further.
Through the Freedom of Information Act, he
obtained his FBI file and turned it into an internation-
ally acclaimed art show called "The FBI Files." The
show opened last Friday in the University Gallery on
Southwest 13th Street and Southwest Fourth Avenue
in Building B of the Fine Arts Complex. It will run
through Oct. 7.
Mesches discovered he was being watched by the
FBI in the mid-1940s. The government based its ac-
tions on the belief that Mesches was involved in com-
munist, un-American activities, he said.
"The first page of the report I got was dated Oct. 5,
1945," he said.
Mesches was well-aware he was being followed,,
along with many other people.
"There were hundreds of thousands of people be-
ing followed back then," Mesches said. "Everybody
knew they were being followed. You'd see them in
cars, and you'd wave at them. You knew who they
were."
Mesches started his written requests to see the file
around 1997 and finally received the 760-page file in
early 2001. The exhibition at University Gallery is the
presentation of this file in the form of collages, paint-
ings and drawings.
"I think that is what art is," Mesches said. "It's tak-
ing something personal in your life and turning it into
an artistic statement."
Mesches uses vibrant colors to display memros
and files placed alongside different media images of
the past 22 years like an image of Rosa Parks on her
famed bus ride and an image of Marlon Brando from
"The Wild One."
"I took images that worked aesthetically," Mesches
said. "That was more important than anything else."
When Mesches received his file, many of the
important names and incriminating details were re-
dacted, or blacked out. Mesches said he believes that
these black slashes add to the work's beauty.
Opening night for "The FBI Files" attracted an au-
dience of more than 150 people, which Amy Vigilante,
University Gallery director, said she was very happy
about.
"I love it," Vigilante said. "I think Arnold has done
a brilliant job."
Barbara Jo Revelle, creative photography professor,
said she was not surprised by the exhibition's immedi-
ate success.

Susie had a bad night last night.
She really pissed someone off liter-
ally.
At least that is what local band
Pissing on Susie thinks.
"It's just a name," lead singer and
guitarist, Silo said. "It has nothing to do
with anything."
Susie's nonexistence aside, this
punk band has a promising future that
all started -with the usual: sex, drugs
and rock 'n roll.
"I'm a high-school dropout as well
as a recovering coke and heroin ad-
dict, so basically without music there
is nothing," Silo said. "I don't want to
work a 9-to-5, so if I don't make it into
music, I won't make it at all."
Like Madonna and Prince, Silo goes
by only one name. He also feels his mu-
sic is more truthful than others because
of his tainted past.
"I hate it when people write about
what they don't know," Silo said. "I
did what I had to in the past to get a
needle in my arm, and some bands
:,_;..._ ,_,
write about it when they are living on
daddy's money."
This "all or nothing" approach has
been working quite well for the trio.
Neither the bassist nor drummer

however.

Opposite music styles attract at Common Grounds
It's interesting how music
from what seems like two
completely different realms
can co-exist within one person's
musical fancy. Really, choosing a
favorite is hard. Although we all
have our preferences, you can't
settle for just one type.
So for the afflicted people
who fall into. the category above,
shake hands with local alt-coun-
try great Swayze (yes, greats and
local in the same sentence!) as the
band teams up with the indie-
punk style of Jet By Day Sept. 5 at
Common Grounds.
"We're really only concerned
with the songs being good," said
Jesse Zeigler, guitarist and vocal-
ist of Swayze.
Zeigler couldn't have put the
band more in a nutshell if, well, it
was in.a nutshell.
The group, for those who
haven't seen or heard them al-
ready, are an acoustic alt-country
quartet, complete with intricate
harmonies by Ziegler .and Wade
McMullen (on bass), intertwining
guitar melodies alongside Andy
Kulick and multi-instrumen-
talist Mike Maines, who plays
pedal steel guitar, trumpet and,
well, whatever he can when it's
needed.
Besides the time that Sufjan
Stevens and the Fiery Furnaces
dominated Ziegler's ears, the
group has been working on new
material any chance it can. It
debuted a song or two at its past
show at the Civic Media Center.
"New stuff is definitely
happening but happening
slowly. Our practice and record-
ing schedules are far from rigor-
ous, so patience
is an impor-
tant Swayze
virtue. We have
eight or nine'
new songs with
at least a rough
track or two down on tape,"
Zeigler said. "I'm happy with the
way that most of the new stuff is
feeling."
Ever since the group released
its first full-length, "A Shame
Play," a year ago, it's gone sans
drummer, and it's going to keep
it that way. It's better that way,
honestly. The "home" feeling of
the songs comes through, the lyr-
ics aren't bashed over by swirls
of cymbals, and frankly, the
music itself is
Marshall Terry actually heard
Marshall Terryinstead of just
Playlist listened to.
theavenue@alligator.org The group
is releasing a
three-way split
EP with Warren Hixson and
ASPE due out this September
on Arkain Records. On that and
at this show, fans can hear why
Swayze is the best act of its kind
in town.
Jet By Day ... Jet By Day ...
What to say? Well, the band
travels a lot, playing tons of
shows alongside groups such
as Braid and Jucifer with loud,
anthem-like punk sounds topped
off with vocals that rival those
of Hoobastank and Relient K.
Whether or not that's a good
thing or a bad thing depends on
the listener, of course. The songs
are non-stop rock blasted from
stacks of amps, probably turned
up to 11.
Let's recap: Splendid acoustic
melodies, pedal steel guitar, loud
indie-punk, both in the middle of
their Florida/Georgia tour with
each other. Loud, then mellow.
Opposites attract, right?
Right.
Walk of shame no longer embarrasses; embrace morning-after look
It's often called the walk of shame the
tousled-hair, wrinkled-clothes, morn-
ing-after return trip to the apartment in
front of God, friends and roommates. But I
think.it's a misnomer.
Shame is so rarely involved. In my
experience it should be called the walk of.
awkward situations at an hour too early
for quick thinking or social recovery.
The first time I slept over with the guy
I'd been seeing earlier in the summer, I
made a quick, easy escape in the morning
without seeing his roommate, who is his
recent ex.
Feeling inspired for being up so early
and wanting to take the day on full charge,
I headed to Starbucks for a coffee fix.
-In my still-sweaty-from-dancing-the-
night-before clothes and with my hair
standing on end, I went in to find a former
writing professor waiting for his drink in
front- of me.
He says hello and tells
me he's impressed I'm
up so early, adding that
it's very atypical for a -
student.
"I didn't sleep in my
own bed last night, and so
I had to leave early," I said boldly.
He looked me over, starring specifically
at my disheveled hair for a moment, then
nodded.
No shame. Instead, I felt empowered to
show this part of my life to someone who
had a narrow view of my life.
More recently the first time my guy
slept over at my place with my new, and
random, roommates, he walked out of my
room in the early morn-
Mr. Lube ing to find one of them
Risqu6 Business on the couch.
theavenue@alligator.org I stayed in bed, so
my "walk of shame"
was much later. My
walk started from my
bedroom, and ended with cereal in my
kitchen.
In my pajamas I braved looks from my
roommate who probably was still contem-
plating the implications of a male leaving
my room in the early morning.
Again, I felt no shame.
This Sunday morning I had a new, but
still shameless, walk.
I was at his place. He left early to go to
work, and I set my cellular-phone alarm to
get up an hour later. I planned to be up
and out before his roommate/ex had to
leave for work.
As I turned off the alarm, loud banging
followed an attempt to open the locked
bedroom door. I got dressed and was shuf-
fled out with forceful politeness by the ex.
That morning, I walked with my eyes
low and my head down, but not for shame.
I walked self-consciously out of the apart-
ment, filled with pity.

Horns play at Shammy
Band names are sometimes deceiving.
In fact, much of the time it seems
band names don't make any sense.
But they have to mean something, right?
Local Gainesville band, The French
Horns, has a perplexing name in that none
of the four band members plays the French
horn.
"My wife played the
French horn in middle
school," says drummer Josh
Ney. "That's pretty much
where our name came from." .
The way the band chose
its name gives great insight
to the type of group they are. The indie pop
band, comprised of Ney; Steve Clay, guitar
and vocals; Dan McCoy, bass; and Jesse
Long, violin; is laid back, which makes the
songs easy to listen to.
The bands' front man, Clay, is the shy
one. The onstage banter comes from behind
the drum set where Ney sits on his vintage
chair.
"We're not the typical band," Clay said.
"We are different, and we do songs in styles
you won't hear other bands do."
An album, with a yet-to-be-determined
title, is in the making. The band records
from a home operation in a relaxed environ-
ment similar to its practicing habits.
"We practice one or
Vera two times before the
Hadzi-Antich show," Clay said. "We try
and set most of our time

The bands single,

the full album soon After that by a record
label in Japan Quince Records.

Shamrock Friday night for a $5 cover if
you are under 21 years old and $3 if you're

Naked girls, wild strip
If you like bizarre thrillers with
more twists and turns than
curly fries, then I've got the
comic for you. Unbeknownst to
some, comics, like movies and mu-
sic, have many genres. They're not
all spandex and superheroes.
Best of all,' with the book
"Girls" there are no strings at-
tached: You don't .have to be a
huge comic book fan with de-
cades of knowledge under your
belt to read it. The book "Girls,"
from Image Comics, is created by
the very talented Jonathan and
Joshua Luna, known for their in-
ventive superhero book "Ultra."
Set in quiet, rural Pennystown,
the story centers around Ethan, a
nice-enough guy with some seri-
ous issues with women. (Maybe
you can relate.) After a big blow-
up at the local bar, something
strange happens. Ethan loses his
cool, there's a large .boom, win-
dows shatter and he leaves in
quite a huff.
It's not long before he nearly
runs over a disoriented woman,
wandering in the road (who just
happens to be naked and hot, by
the way).
Naturally, Ethan does his best'
to help the girl, but things sort of
spiral out of control from there.

"Girls" was originally intended
to be a 12-issue maxi-series, but it
rocked so hard with the first issues
that it's been announced that the
book will be an on-going title with
a definite ending.
So, just like "Reading Rainbow,"
you don't have to take my word
for it. Issue No. 4 hit stands Aug.

AUDIOLO C` o
Munkeez prove funky, 30 Seconds trapped by funk
Munkeez Strikin' Matchiz
BananAtomic Mass
Ximentmix/Munkadelic
Muzik & Productions
Munkeez Strikin' Matchiz
brings it big time in its decidedly funky debut,
"BanamAtomic Mass."
Monkeez Strikin' Matchiz keeps the fight
alive for all things funky.
"BananAtomic 'Mass," is a straight-ahead
record. The first track, appropriately titled
"The Mission," declares: "To extend to you
some funk is our only desire." I must relay,
mission accomplished. The subsequent 10
songs bring the funk relentlessly, in a way that
feels retro but never old.
Along with that, it also serves up some-
thing truly special: a historic collaboration
featuring three generations of legendary
musicians. In a wonder to behold, "Wreck
It" features Bo Diddley, Chuck D and Bernie
Worrell. Something that has to be heard to be
believed is the sheer force behind Bo Diddley,
whose rough growl is just as powerful as it
was 50 years ago. Even Chuck D's famous
boom of a voice is left sounding shallow next
to his. Underneath Bo and Chuck trading raps,
Bernie Worrell lays down the keys that bring it
its funky edge.
In a testament to the band, the rest of the
record is not simply blown away by the his-
toric nature of "Wreck It." It stays away from
the major fault of bad funk records in which
the same inane phrase is repeated for infinite
periods of time. The Munkeez keep vocal and
horn arrangements tight and explore their
grooves without it feeling forced.,
- A highlight track, "Doin' What We Got
To," brings a guitar-heavy sound straight from
classic funkadelic. The song also personifies
the simple but effective political messages
funksters love to bring, all while being exceed-
ingly fun to dance to.
"BananAtomic Mass" brings the funk and
a historic track that will keep maggot-brains
happy until the mothership lands. Buy it lo-
cally at Hyde & Zeke Records, No Future
Records and CD Warehouse.
H 30 Seconds To Mars
A Beautiful Lie
M ir Virgin Records America
... 30 Seconds To Mars again fails
to find its niche. Its sopho-
more album, "A Beautiful Lie," features
throwaway post-grunge garbage that only
sees the light of day because of its famous
frontman Jared Leto.
Though I respect his artistic aspirations,
he's in a role simply typecasts himself into
an angsty 20 something and offers little that
is noteworthy.
The problem with 30 Seconds To Mars
has always been an ironic one: it's extremely
bland. Its model lead singer does more than
fail to exploit his good looks; he hides from
them. This I find kind of silly. Almost every
single successful rock band in history has
some sort of iconic lead singer.
Even when the band is not performing, it
set a tone for its music by the way it simply
conducts-itself. With 30 Seconds, almost all
of what can be picked up has to be from the
songs themselves.
Unfortunately, the songs are extremely
vague. Leto is sad. Leto is angry. That's just
about the extent of his range.
What's worse is the overproduction of its
sound, which is slick but ungraceful. There
are overdubs and vocal effects, which result
in something extremely sanitized despite Leto
wailing and screaming on top of it all.
Thankfully, at only 10 tracks, "A Beautiful
Lie" is on the short side. With any hope it
will be 30 Seconds' last, because its 15 sec-
onds is twice over.

attest to that.
And it really did earn every

Director Robert Rodriguez, of
"Desperado" and "Once Upon
a Time in Mexico" fame, did an
excellent job of bringing the comic
to life without losing the essence of
the novels themselves, a very im-
portant factor in any comic-book
movie. Can we say "Catwoman?"
This element was especially
vital to Miller, who had originally
refused to give up the rights to
any of his works. Rodriguez shot
the opening sequence of the movie
and sent the finished footage to
Miller, who was so impressed he
immediately approved the film
and signed on as co-director.

Filmed entirely in front of a

produced the most accurate comic
book adaptation to date.
The movie was
nearly frame-for-
frame the same as
the novels, which
is understandable
considering Miller
and Rodriguez
used the comics
as storyboards for the film. The
movie was presented in black
and white with splashes of color
here and there, mimicking the art
of the comic. The effect is visually
spectacular.
Interestingly, because of the use
of the green screen, Nick Stahl's,
character the Yellow Bastard was
actually painted blue because yel-
low would have reacted negatively
with the green.

iPods offer distrac-

dicated by thin, white cords
sticking out of random purses,
jean pockets and backpacks. They
supercede stereotypes. Mohawk-
donning punk rockers and pink-
Lacoste-wearing frat boys alike
gotta have 'em.
iPods have become more than
a trend. iPods make it possible for
a person to listen to his or her spe-
cific music choice whenever and
wherever he or she likes.
Apple calls iPod the "digital
music revolution," and it is ex-
actly right.
With more than 21 million
iPods sold worldwide, iPod is
the world's most
popular digital
music player. *,
UF reflects these ..
stats; students '
toting iPods -
clipped on their
belt loops are
everywhere.
While walking to class can be
seen person after person walking
to the beat of their own music on
their iPods.
UF senior Nathan Easley, who
has 1,900 songs on his iPod, said
he enjoys the convenience of his
iPod.
"I listen to it in my car and
when I'm walking around cam-
pus," he said. "You can listen to
exactly what you want, when you
want."
But Christiane Kaminsky, a UF
health science senior who enjoys
the 682 songs on her iPod, found
that the iPod has decreased her-
safety while she is walking to
class.
"I think I am more prone
to getting clipped by a biker,"
Kaminsky said. "Those suckers
come out of nowhere."
Despite the risk Kaminsky
continues to walk to a beat all her
own.
"It lets me focus on something
else besides how unbearably hot it
is outside," she said. --
Through weather and accident-
prone bikers, UF iPod owners
trod on. The most obvious place
to observe the obsession that is
iPod is on an RTS bus.
"I would dread taking the bus
if I didn't have my iPod," UF
senior Duke Romkey said. "I'd
probably resort to randomly star-
ing at people for entertainment."
Romkey has 908 songs on his
iPod and had just listened to
"Blood Brothers" by Papa Roach.
Heather Britton, a UF psychol-
ogy senior who calls herself an
aspiring iPod owner, said the only
reason she doesn't have an iPod
yet is because she isn't ready to
shell out the $299 for the constant-
ly evolving iPod
technology.
Melissa iPods have
Filipkowski expanded from
Avenue Writer their original
theavenue@alligator.org state of merely
allowing own-
ers to download
thousands of songs quickly. They.
now offer fun, color LCD screens,
photo-storage capabilities and can
even pick up digital radio stations
called Podcasts.
"I wouldn't know where to
start," Britton said.
UF even has its own podcast,
enabling the millions of iPod
owners across the world to tune
in to the university's news and
latest happenings.
From here the iPod can only,
evolve further as the technology
continues to develop.
It is only a matter of time be-
fore iPod owners can download
,movies and watch digital-quality
TV from the convenience of their
handheld devices.
Kaminsky said she believes
that while this is definitely the
foreseeable future for the iPod, it
might be a little bit more danger-
ous for her while walking on cam-
pus if both her hearing and sight
were preoccupied.
"I probably wouldn't even
make it across the street," she
laughed.

Devil provides escape for less-than-newspaper price
In the orange-and-blue sprawl of
Gainesville, minutes away from campus,
Devil's Millhopper State Park offers any
who take the short drive a break from the
amalgamation of traffic and quizzes. Better
yet, this journey will be cheap.
Fellow student, adventurer on a budget,
extremely time-constrained traveler, jaded
resident who whines that there isn't anything
to do in Gainesville, this column is for you.
Let me be your guide to all that is inexpensive
and removed from Archer Road.
Instead of buying this Sunday's paper, I
visited one of Florida's most famous sink-
holes.
For only $1 per person, or $2 for as many
friends as you can pack into your Honda, you
can visit the Devil's Millhopper. When head-
ing west on Northwest 39th Avenue, turn right
on Northwest 43rd Street, left on Northwest
54th Avenue and right into the park entrance.
The visitor's center is a short walk from
the parking lot. As a sci-
ence major, I felt compelled
to stop and watch the short
video. I learned there is
actually a Florida Sinkhole
Research Institute; wa-
ter eating through the
limestone created the
Millhopper thousands of years ago; and it
would be more fun to be an Indian princess
than a student.
Feeling educated I followed a sign point-
ing toward a nature trail. The wide dirt path
looped through the forest and offered a bench
about every 100 feet. Several giant butterflies
dipped through the humid air. Flowers and
bushes with bright berries lined the trail.
Other than the occa-
Diana Jo sional family, lone wan-
Diana Jo derer or couple walking
Godfrey a dog, I was alone on
C;I';.hap B :, t the trail. After a week
i"'. .'" '."" ':.:. of crowded classes, the
solitude was refreshing.
Armed with bug spray,
it would have been ideal to sit with a book.
Thoreau would be pleased with this quiet
place's proximity to the city.
An Indian legend states that the constant
flow of water is the tears of braves the devil
trapped and turned to stone as they tried
to rescue their princesses the devil had
kidnapped. Settlers in the area named the
sinkhole because it resembled the hopper
they used to feed grain into their gristmills.
Old bones and teeth at the bottom of the hole
were evidence enough to conclude the deep
hole fed unfortunate bodies straight to the
devil.
Despite its malevolent name, visiting the
Devil's Millhopper was a peaceful experience.
Whether you're looking for a new place to jog,
a serene retreat from the city or a unique place
to take a date, this is your place. Just don't take
your swimsuit expecting a rope swing that's
a whole different, now defunct, sinkhole.
Groovy-chill gives way to beatnik fashion movement
This fall designers and run-
ways in New York are fet-
tered with the boho-chic
look.
And right on is our own public
catwalk: campus.
What, you may ask, is boho-
chic?
Well my style-challenged broth-
ers and sisters, boho is short for
bohemian, and it's chic because
it's groovy.
Can you dig it?
In case you still aren't sure
what's boho-chic, I've put together
a guide.
I call it Four Ways to Spot a
Boho Babe:
1. Tiered skirt: These are usually
long and consist of many layers.
As of late the most common
is white, but you can find some
wicked DayGlo colors, too.
2. Beads: Big, small, multi-
stranded and long, these fashion-
able necklaces don't just stand for
love and friendship anymore.
They do their own thing.
3. Peasant blouses: A folkloric
shirt often ruffled and tying at the
collarbone, just like in the fairy
tales.
4. Tooled leather belt: .Worn
over a peasant blouse or tiered
skirt, these wide accessories are
hip and hard to miss.
The trend peaked this sum-
mer with ultra-feminine, super
laid-back threads made of light,
flowing materials like silk, cotton
and linen.
In the fall
you'll see heavi-
er and more
rich and far-out
fabrics.
The weather .
will give way to
velvet, satin, fur
and fringe.
However, here's a little fash-
ion 411 that just might blow your
mind.
I heard that style in the next
couple of months is going to do a
180 and flash back to the Beatnik
trend.
Rooted in the '50s, the Beat look
now thrives in the ultra under-
ground scene
,Ph,:i 4., of emo and hip-
Steffens
Fchinn a fln-Cfn
th
sters.
Reminiscent
. of rock 'n roll
eavenue@alligator.org of rock 'n roll
and gothic, this
bag is mixed
with a small
dose of Audrey Hepburn chic.
Elements of the new style in-
clude drainpipe skinny jeans, baker-
boy caps, loose-fitting sweaters that
fall off the shoulder and flat-kneed
boots in everyone's favorite anti-
color: black.
You emo cats get ready because
you're about to go mainstream.
Crazy.
But don't go on an ego trip
against the establishment, man.
Everyone deserves to get his or
her kicks.
Just because it sounds like
boho-chic will be left for the
squares, your Fashion a Go-Go
doesn't discriminate, and neither
should you.
Explore both looks, mellow out
and go with the flow.
In fact I'm so chill, I think I'll go
play the bongos.
ELSE, IT GRADUATES FROM mtvU.

Pianos rock once again
,, ators flocked to the club Abbey
Road last Thursday for the tri-
,,.lumphant return of the original
Alligator Rocks crew with its gut-bursting
renditions of classic bar songs and scandal-
ously suggestive parodies.
"It's exciting to be back," said pianist
Mark King, who lives in Orlando and will
b.,e traveling to Gainesville
once a week for shows.
"I jumped at the op-
portunity."
Mike Scott, director
of entertainment for the
new downtown club, said
bringing the dueling pianos back was a
"no-brainer."
King and a revolving group of about
five piano players will perform Thursday
-nights. He says he hopes to bring in as
many fans as Alligator Rocks did.
"We used to have it jammed," King
said.
Alligator Rocks dosed in 2003 after
being sold and is now home to Jewells, a
billiard lounge and pub.
Abbey Road, formerly known as Brick
City, is part of a new "downtown enter-
tainment experience" that combines three
different atmospheres into one all-inclusive
party area.
New owner Randy Grinter already has
revamped and refurbished what was once
Martini's and 238 West, now Ace of Clubs
and Oceanr Avenue, respectively, and has
big plans for the future.
While Abbey Road will feature shows
by local bands in ad-
Julia Carvalho edition to the dueling
Writ pianos, Ocean Avenue
Night Writer will be more of a high-
theavenue@alligator.org energy dance area,
Grinter said.
Ace of Clubs has a
more lounge-like feel to it, with big velvety
couches and tables to chill around.
Grinter also plans on eventually open-
ing a restaurant in the area with the help of
the former owner of Casino's Pizza.
Grinter makes good use of a huge,space
with his new venture, and college students
will appreciate the variety the three clubs
offer for just one cover.
As for the former Alligator .Rocks
groupies, they will be happy to see that
Abbey Road has maintained the loud, sing-
along atmosphere, albeit with a slightly less
cozy feel.
Ellis' 'Lunar' a rare find
usually can't stand or stomach, for
that matter Bret Easton Ellis' work.
"Less Than Zero" left me bored (oh,
look at all the spoiled coke heads.)
"American Psycho," while an interest-
ing concept, struck me as lazy, obnoxious
and too over-the-top (though I love the
2000 film version). So imagine my sur-
prise when I picked up Ellis' latest offer-
ing, "Lunar Park," and actually liked it:
The .story starts off
simply enough with J
Ellis charting Bret -
Easton Ellis'"'. rise to
literary and popular
fame, as his eventual
plummet with terrific
irony (something he painfully lacks in
his earlier books) and hilarious exag-
geration.
Having struck bottom Ellis returns
to a former love, actress Jayne Dennis.
He marries her, moves to the suburbs
with his son and stepdaughter (note
that the real Ellis .lives in Manhattan
and is childless and single), takes up
teaching and tries (and-fails) to clean
up his act. It's then that things begin to
get a bit weird.
What follows comes straight out of
a Stephen King novel.
A toy bird comes to life, a serial
killer copycats the deeds of "American
Psycho" Patrick Bateman, a number of
young boys begin to go missing, and
the family dog meets a sudden, grue-
some fate. All of these -happenings
seem to be connected in some way to
Ellis' dead father.
Everyone around. Ellis blames the
events on his own chemical addictions
and utter egomania.
To say anything-more would serve
to give the entire book
away.
lames Fleming Ellis employs the
Off the Press meta-fictional trick-
heavenue@alligator.org series that have been
downright overdone
in Western literature
in recent years, but
"Lunar Park" is still a surprisingly
clever, honest and even sensitive book,
especially given Ellis' previous work.
I still don't think he's that-great of
a writer.
Stylistically, many of the themes and
ideas he pursues here are interesting
and, to some-measure, unique. For once
Ellis attempts to write an entertaining,
thoughtful and genuine novel rather than
trying to shock and sicken his readers.
In short if you have a high toler-
ance for weirdness, violence and gore,
and are looking for something at least
relatively stimulating to read, pick up
"Lunar Park."

Gainesville-area band follows footsteps, gives people voice
It is nothing new: Public Enemy, N.W.A.,
KRS-One and, to some extent, even
the Beastie Boys all have socially and
politically charged material, describing or
decrying the misdeeds or ignorance of the
government with sharp beats and heated,
conscious rhymes. What is new, however, is
one of these kinds of groups emerging from
the Gainesville area.
"We try to report on the things we see in
front of us the suffering of all people in
hopes to raise awareness and inspire com-
monality in others who might be suffering
the t2me," said Voice of the People's emcee
Marley Montano, aka The Messenger.
Admittedly,, Gainesville is not one of the
most problem-plagued cities in America,
nor does it have a cool abbreviation like the
CPT of Compton, but that hasn't slowed
down the conscious hip-
hop group. u
"You could certainly
go about your business '
at a club or at a party as
we perform in the back-
ground," said Montano. '
"But if you stop to listen
for even a moment, you will be most defi-
nitely drawn in."
The group is mainly comprised of
Montano and Hector Galvez (Etch One)
with bringer of beats DJ Kenfolk, Kenny
Johnson. The group initially came together
when Montano linked up with Johnson via
an online music forum. That connection
sparked a partnership that
attracted many other mu-
David Low sicians who have worked
Playlist with Voice of the People.
theavenue@alligator.org "When you have that
many talented and most
importantly, passionate,
people onstage, you can't
help but be touched and/or moved by what
is being shared with you," Montano said.
Though not nearly as "gangsta" as simi-
lar groups of the genre, Voice of the People
does not aim to be hardcore. With influences
ranging from John Lennon to Common,
Voice of the People still conveys powerfully
the hardships of the every man, but with a
more positive outlook and jazzy melodies.
Having just independently released its
first group album, "What We're Feeling,"
the group looks forward to performing live
and growing in every respect.
"Our live performance is very energetic,
exciting and engaging," Montano said. "It's
something you can watch from beginning to
end and never get bored with."
Voice of the People will be perform-
ing Sept. 2 at Common Grounds. Until
then check them out on the Internet at

Computer Skills Challenge I am looking for
students interested in helping produce a pilot
for a t.v. game show. The game involves
the use of computers, the internet and con-
testants. I am trying to find out if the game,
computer skills challenge, is a game that stu-
dents find interesting and would like to par-
ticipate in. The object of the game is to find
out who can use a computer and the internet
to answer questions or solve problems faster
than anyone else. A contestant might know
the answer but they must find the answer on
the internet. The questions can come from a
certain area or cover all areas. I am hoping
the computer lab will get involved and maybe
allow their computers to be used. It can
be competition among individuals, classes,

Young Gators rely on experience
* UF'S CORE IS MADE UP
OF SOPHOMORES.
By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer
The UF volleyball team
has its sights set on the num-
ber 15 as in a 15th consecu-
tive Southeastern Conference
title. But in order to achieve
its goals, the key number for
the Gators may be five.
Last year's recruiting class
was ranked No. 2 nationally
by prepvolleyball.com. The
then-freshmen group con-
sisting of Marcie Hampton,
Angie McGinnis, Kari
Klinkenborg and Kisya
Killingsworth saw extensive
playing time in what UF
coach Mary Wise described
as the "trickle down" from
the injury to opposite hitter
Amber McCray.
After taking a medical
redshirt last season, McCr-ay
will retain her sophomore
status, making the group
even stronger and deeper.
Now, all five of UF's
sophomores are starters this
season, meaning they com-
prise roughly 71 percent of
the starting lineup. That
means the team's ability to
rebound from a somewhat
disappointing season in 2004
and contend for a national
title rests, in large part, on
the shoulders of the Gators'
version of the "Fab Five."
McGinnis, last season's
SEC Freshman of the Year,
feels more confident after
getting a year under her belt.
"I'll be a lot more con-
fident because I know the
opponents and I've already
played against them," she
said. "I know the game a
little more than I did last
year. I think the team's con-
fidence as a whole will be a
lot higher than last year."
UF's senior captains,
reigning SEC- Player of the
Year Jane Collymore and
defensive specialist Rachel
Engel, fill the other two start-
ing spots.
Collymore said she be-
lieves the experience the
younger players gained on
the court last season and in
international competition
this spring could have a
major impact on the Gators'
ability to improve upon last
year's 28-5 record.
"I think experience is the
big difference," Collymore
said. "We were inexperi-
enced on certain levels last
year. The team as a whole
is more experienced and
three of us have competed
at international events and I
think there's nothing that can
substitute for that."
McCray said she expects
big things this season as UF's
youthful, but gifted, core
continues to develop on the
court.
"Our expectations are
high," she said. "I feel like
our whole team knows that
we have great talent. The
players who were young and
inexperienced last year have
a year under their belt and
they're ready to play."
Sunshine State
Dominance
With UF's season opening
win against Jacksonville on
Monday night, the Gators
improved their all-time record
against the Dolphins to 13-
0. This is nothing out of the
ordinary for the Gators, who
have dominated their in-state
rivals over the course of their
history. UF is 108-20 all-time

they are 51-2 during the Mary

have been raving about.
"What you saw in Kelsey
was some aggressive play
and her foot speed," Wise
said. "How fast she is- I
think it is going to be really
fun to watch her develop not
only over four years, but
even just this season."

Tradition of easy opener may be tested by Wyoming
Alligator File Pnoto
Wyoming's pass attack is expected to give UF's revamped secondary
trouble. Jarvis Herring believes the Gators' secondary is underrated.
By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Staff Writer
eesteban@alligator.org
A favorable trend is about to
end for UF.
In past years, the Gators' first
game had traditionally led to
an easy opener to prepare for
Tennessee. While Wyoming may
not play in a strong conference,
the Cowboys' impressive finish to
2004 has the projected Mountain
West champions filled with self-
confidence for Saturday's game.
The Cowboys finished 7-5 last
year and played the role of under-
dog in a 24-21 bowl game victory
against UCLA. With 19 starters re-
turning, Wyoming was optimistic
throughout fall camp. But it's the
team's strengths and the Gators'
weaknesses that have Cowboys
coach Joe Glenn excited.
"I think [we] know we are
going into a tough place to play
against a good football team, but
at the same time we feel that after
the last game we played last year
that we have some confidence
about who we are and what we're
doing," Glenn said.
Glenn faced UF coach Urban
Meyer twice while Meyer coached
at Utah, giving Glenn a chance to
see Meyer's offense first hand.-
At the same time, Meyer is well
aware of Wyoming's weak points
and will try to exploit a suspect
'defense.
"Is it an advantage? [Utah]
scored 42 on us last year so I don't
know if I'd call it an advantage,"
Glenn said. "We know the offense,
but getting it stopped is another
thing."
Wyoming will attack the
Gators' most untested group, the
secondary, with its spread-offense
aerial attack led by senior quarter-
back Corey Bramlet.
Bramlet threw for 2,409 yards
and 12. touchdowns last season
and has earned praise from
Meyer..
"Bramlet may be the top quar-
terback we face this fall," Meyer
said. "He's an excellent player."
"Bramlet may be the top
quarterback we face this
fall. He's an excellent
player."
Urban Meyer
UF football coach
He may not grace the cover of
Sports Illustrated or draw serious
preseason accolades, but Bramlet's
arm will test a Gators' secondary
that is high on potential, but low
in experience. Aside from starting
cornerback Dee Webb, no other
comer on the team has ever start-
ed a game. Senior Vemell Brown
played well enough in the fall. to
earn the other starting comer spot,
but the nickel-and-dime coverage
packages remain untested.
Freshman Avery Atkins, soph-
omore Reggie Nelson and junior
Reggie Lewis have yet to register a
play in their collegiate careers and
will have to grow up quickly in
order to stop the likes of Wyoming
receiver Jovon Bouknight.
Bouknight, who finished 2004
with 63 catches for 1,075 yards
and seven touchdowns, is the
third leading active receiver in the
NCAA in career receiving yards,
with 2,510.
However, UF starting free
safety Jarvis Herring isn't too
concerned.
"I'm not worried about our sec-
ondary, and I think it's one of our
strengths," Herring said. "Nobody
knows it yet, but they'll see."
The Cowboys return a strong
secondary led by junior comer-
back Derrick Martin. Martin
finished 14th in the nation with
17 passes defended last year and
will have his hands full with the
Gators' talented receiving corps.
Wyoming's rushing offense
is hindered by injuries and the
Gators' revamped defensive
front could shine. Linebacker Earl
Everett is expected to play after
dealing with a sore neck for the
past week. He should help UF's
blitzing attack that will try to put
pressure on Bramlet.
Senior defensive end Jeremy
Mincey said UF's defensive line
unit, which Meyer recently called
the most improved position on the
team, is confident that they'll be
able to stop Wyoming's attack.
"I really feel like they are going
to come in here confident, play as
hard as they could and expect to
win," Mincey said.
But can Wyoming pull off the
upset?
"I doubt it," Mincey said with
a grin.
Not just Urban legend, the Swamp Things strike fear in opponents
Just go nuts.
Or at least that's what Coach Urban
Meyer wants from you.
Meyer's message is clear to the newly
christened student section: "Go nuts. Help
us win a game and I think you can."
A new year and a new coach should
equate to a new mentality in the newly
christened the Swamp Things student sec-
tion, and that responsibility falls squarely on
you, the average student.
A long time ago in a student section far,
far away, the Swamp boasted a home-field
advantage to be reckoned with. From 1990 to
2001, the Gators lost just five games at home,
making the Swamp one of the most feared
venues in the nation. Players and coaches
had a swagger and bravado to them. No
matter whom the Gators faced each week,
opponents were genuinely scared to make
a trip to Gainesville and that was largely in
part to Steve Spurrier's dedication to mak-
ing it that way.
"You tell Coach Fulmer that the Swamp
is -going to be loud this year...as loud as
it's ever been," said Spurrier prior to the
Tennessee game in 1997.
Honestly, there's no reason why the stu-
dent section can't be crazy like it once was.
While students were mired in the hell-on-
earth that was the Zookster, that time has
come and gone and it's time to make some
noise.
Here are some guidelines to follow to
make the Swamp Things one of the rowdiest
sections in the nation:
Wear your Swamp. Thing shirts. No one
likes rocking the cut off tee to showcase the
gun show more than I
do. Nobody. But when
I went to Knoxville
last year, I noted how
the disciples of Jed.
Eric Esteban Clampett all wore the
Tenacious E same orange nation
t-shirt in the student
eesteban@alligator.org Between the
section. Between the
banjo strumming,
moonshine and constant hollering of Rocky
Top, it was a hopping hootenanny Skoal
and all.
-It's all about the defense. The second an
opposing team quarterback lines up under
center, don't be alarmed by the drunken fool
screaming at the top of his lungs, for he is on.
the right track. A solid portion of the Swamp
belongs to students, so be sure to make noise
when the time is right. Hell, go down right
"Howard Dean" on anyone close to you to
show your passion for Gators football.
-Mr. 2-Bits reigns supreme. Women want
him and men want to be him. Eighty-three
years young, George Edmondson burst out
of retirement several years ago in order to
keep the crowd going. While rumors have
it that he's preparing a special harness to
dangle off the comers of the Swamp with
his patented whistle and laminated sign,
Edmondson truly rules with an. iron fist
when it comes to game days.
It's time to reclaim your stadium. If
there's one thing I know, it's that Meyer
and this team will do everything possible to
bring the noise back to the Swamp. So just
-keep that mentality...it's the Swamp, where
only Gators get out alive.

The Gators may have escaped the
path of a hurricane so far this year, but
that doesn't mean UF isn't willing to
help the cause.
UP announced Wednesday that it
would donate $75,000 of its Pay-Per-
View revenue from the. Wyoming
game to the American 'Red Cross in
order to aid victims of Hurricane
Katrina.
"The effects of Hurricane Katrina
are nothing short of tragic and we
know. there is a tremendous need
for assistance," UF athletics director
Jeremy Foley said. "Floridians en-
dured four hurricanes last year and
understand the amount of work the
affected areas have in front of them.
Our thoughts- and prayers are with
those who have been so severely
impacted by this devastating hur-
ricane."
One UF player took the news
of Katrina personally. Senior safety
Deshawn Carter finally heard from
his family Wednesday morning after
not knowing if Katrina affected the
Carter clan.
Carter is from Hammond, La.,
which is about 30 minutes away from
New Orleans.
Fortunately, it was mostly good
news for Carter.
"Basically everything is fine," he
said. "There's no flooding. A lot of
trees are blown down, a lot of power
lines. The power went out, so that's
why they weren't able to contact me."
Carter said his family's shed was
damaged, but the house was fine.
He said at one point he called UF
coach Urban Meyer and told him he
was going to drive home to make sure
his family was all right, but he didn't
because he wouldn't have gotten that
far anyway.
That left him watching TV like
everyone else.
"The effects of Hurricane
Katrina are nothing short of
tragic and.we know there is
a tremendous need for as-
sistance."
Jeremy Foley
UF athletics director
"It's been horrible," Carter said.
"The only thing I could do was watch
the news and hope and pray for all
families and make sure I don't see my
family on there."
KICKERS CONFIDENT: Meyer
wouldn't name a starting tailback,
backup quarterback or kicker
Wednesday.
He said the starting, kicker would
be a game-time decision.
The kicking competition is between
junior walk-ons Eric Nappy and-Chris
Hetland. Freshman Jonathan Phillips
was also in the mix but he failed to
impress Meyer.
"We've been kicking really well,
but neither one of us has really came
out and been perfect," Hetland said.

Both Hetland and Nappy said they
have been kicking well in streaks.
They said they'd each have three or
four good days, then they'd nriss an
easy kick and the other would pull
ahead for the starting job.
Regardless, they remained confi-
dent.
"I'm not worried about either one
of us right now," Nappy said. "Not
to diss the other guys, but v. defi-
nitely the two most capable to handle
the job."
AND THE WINNER IS: Meyer
will receive his. national Coach of
the Year award tonight, given by
the Fiesta Bowl, the.Football Writers
Association of America and the Eddie
Robinson Foundation.
Last year Meyer led Utah to an un-
defeated season. The Utes became the
first non-BCS school to participate in a
BCS bowl game, crushing Pittsburgh
35-7.
"Honestly I wish [I had received
the award] sometime last year be-
cause that's old news," Meyer said.
"I'm very appreciative of it, especially
it being the Eddie Robinson award."
THIS AND 'THAT: Defensive.
tackle Javier Estopinan pulled a
muscle and-was wearing a boot dur-
ing Wednesday's practice. Meyer said
he won't be ready this weekend but
may return in time for Louisiana Tech
the following Saturday. Linebacker
Earl Everett returned to contact drills
Wednesday and will be ready to play
Saturday, Meyer said.

SEC FOOTBALL
UF icon Spurrier debuts with new team tonight
By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer
lanastasis@ailligator.org
The world's largest tug-of-war
will be held in Florida living rooms
everywhere tonight.
For the first time in three years,
Steve Spurrier Gainesville's
Golden Boy and UF's 01' Ball
Coach will coach college foot-
ball. For the first time in 16 years,
Spurrier will coach a college foot-
ball team besides the Gators. At
7:30 p.m. EDT, Spurrier leads UF
conference rival South Carolina
against Central Florida. Tune in
and grab a snack. But for whom
will you cheer?
"I'll watch the game and root
for Coach Spurrier every day of
the week until the one day he
plays Florida," said ex-UF receiver
Chris Doering, who played under
Spurrier from 1992-95. "I'm a Gator
and I have no split allegiance when
it comes to that. The University of
Florida is my school and I hope
they pound South Carolina when
they play them."
You'll have a more difficult time
convincing today's Gators to sup-
port Spurrier. When asked what
interest they would have in the
game, most players said they will
watch mainly because the game is
the season's first.
"It doesn't really matter if Steve
Spurrier is there or not," wide re-
ceiver Dallas Baker said. "I can't
say that I have deep feelings for
him '*om a coaching standpoint,
but I respect him because of the
things he accomplished."
Redshirt senior center Mike
Degory, one of the few remain-
ing players recruited by Spurrier,
could care less.
"It's great to have him back in
college football, but Coach Meyer's
our coach, and it was a long time
ago when Coach Spurrier did
EZ Tennis
In terms of Tennis, big stores make EZ
Tennis look good. We are lower than them
in prices faster in stringing- stock better
quality rackets can explain or recommend
products to customers better. Tell your
friends about EZ Tennis. Call 372-2257
great things here," he said. "Will I
watch? I don't know. I have a game
to focus on this week."
Moving Along
The best way to describe local
sentiments about the man who
resurrected a dormant UF program.
is guarded curiosity. Or perhaps
controlled interest.
Rooting for Spurrier may be
easier tonight when the Gamecocks
face a non-conference opponent. In a
few weeks, however, South Carolina
morphs into a virtual enemy for
Gator Nation. Even UF athletics di-
rector Jeremy Foley, who calls him-
self a fan and friend of Spurrier, ad-
mits he won't be chummy-chummy
with Spurrier once that happens.
"Do I call Phil Fulmer during
the season? Obviously [Spurrier's]
the coach of one of our opponents,"
Foley said. "We'll be watching him
with interest but we're compet-
ing with .him now. That doesn't
mean we don't shake hands or we
wouldn't have a beer together, but
we're competitors right now and
that's just the way it is."
Foley found himself at the center
of a national Spurrier saga toward
the end of the 2004 season. After
former coach Ron Zook was fired
during the season, fans and media
began speculating that Spurrier
would consider a return to the
Swamp. Instead, Foley hired Utah
coach Urban Meyer.. And in the
end, it seems like the odyssey's out-
come satisfied both UF and South
Carolina.
"If I went back there, I'd be do-
ing something I'd already done,"
Spurrier said.
More fun, or more gun?
For now, at least for one day,
all eyes are focused on the lead
Gamecock. Can Spurrier overcome
12 arrests of former or current play-
ers? Will the Cock-n-Fire work in a
more athletic and offensively-wary
Southeastern Conference? Can
Spurrier win more games than he
loses?
"I hope we play like winners
play," Spurrier said. "Don't beat
yourself. Don't do the careless
things that cause you to lose. We're
going to try our best to accomplish
those goals as we go through the
season."
Despite South Carolina's semi-
depleted team mostly composed
of players recruited by former coach
Lou Holtz UCF could be in trou-
ble. The Golden Knights finished
last season 0-11 and have lost their
previous 15 games.
"I think for games like this, there
are no big speeches needed," UCF
coach George O'Leary said. "If you
have any blood in your system,
you're going to be ready to play."
Though Spurrier will be favored
in his first game back, his long-term
project is a treacherous one. South
Carolina has won just three bowl
games and has only recorded one
10-win season (1984) in its .his-
tory. Its only conference title of any
sort occurred in 1969, when the
Gamecocks played in the Atlantic
Coast Conference.
UF legend still lives
No matter what he does, or
doesn't do, no matter how he flops
- or resurrects South Carolina's
place in the SEC no honest man
can deny Spurrier's lore at UF.
He quarterbacked the -Gators
from 1964 to 1966, winning the
Hesiman Trophy in '66 after vol-
unteering to kick the game-win-
ning field goal against Auburn. He
returned to UF as a quarterbacks'
coach and of course in 1990,
when he finished his first season
as UF's head coach with the SEC's
best record. The Gators would win
their first six conference titles under
Spurrieri Gainesville would never
be the same.
"He used to say, 'You can't take
rings away from me,'" Foley re-
called. "And when I first got here
people could only dream about the
type of program that he built. Back
then all anybody wanted to do was
win one SEC championship, and he
won six.
"They didn't talk about national
championships until he got here. He
raised the bar and he created what
Florida football is all about. No one
will ever forget about him. Ever."

The group performed at Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity's house during a rush event Wednesday. STUDENT GOVERNMENT eCtions may ha per mputer lab By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org Student Government may have to throw a glitch into the accessibility of a popular computer lab for a few days to make sure the Fall election runs smoothly. SG Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland said he needs nine more computers to implement secured-site online voting Sept. 27 and 28 -and he may have to take the machines from SG's computer lab on the third floor of the Reitz Union. "No matter what the computer lab will not be closed in its entirety to students," he said. "I can't eliminate [borrowing some computers] as an option right now as much as I'd like to. This is Plan Z. lBorrowing from one area (of campus)is an extremely difficult process." However, Maland said he is confident, that with the help of the CIRCA computer labs and the University Registrar, the situation will be resolved. "I think it's going along great," he said of the transition to online voting. "As of right now we are directly on target to have it implemented this Fall." "I think it's going along great. As of right now we are directly on target to have it implemented this Fall." -Daniel Maland SG supervisor of elections In late Summer, Strident Senate passed the secured-site online voting initiative allowing students to vote by computer at designated polling locations on campus and is expected to save SG $30,000 each election. The Senate rejected "unsecured-site" online voting, which would have allowed students to vote from any computer, on campus or-off, using their GatorLink accounts. Maland said the new system calls for about 50 polling-station computers that run Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0. Student Body President Joe Goldberg said he would approve removing the computers if it ensures the voting system will be ready for later this month. "I think that we have a mandate by the student body to do online voting," he said. "I think it's unfortunate that we don't have all the resources to do that, but we have been asked to make that happen. We're going to make that happen in whatever way we can. Goldberg said the apparent lack of resources was caused mostly by the proximity of the legislation to election time but added the new election system is worth possible growing pains. "It's a step in the right direction," he said. UF stretched by population E AS FLORIDA QUICKLY GROWS LARGER THAN EVER, IT MAY NEED ANOTHER UNIVERSITY. By JOHN W. COX Alligator Contributing Writer Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis and even Katrina can't scare them away. The Sunshine State is still the place to be. A projected population increase of more than 2 million people in the next five years may make a new state university a necessity, a UF professor said. UF is already feeling the pressure with a freshman class of about 550 more students than expected. "There are various areas in the state where students don't have good access to higher education," said Grant Thrall, a UF economic geography professor, who was hired by the board that oversees the State University System to analyzethe demand for higher education. Thrall submitted a report to the Florida Board of Governors outlining the importance of a new university. Student "It is a necessity if our objective is to Life provide higher quality education," Thrall said. "It's not uncommon that a very good student has to go away to Orlando or South Florida." The Board was not looking to create competition for UF but rather a supplement, Thrall said. A new university would target good students who couldn't get into UP. Good students who cannot get into UF do not have fair access to other reputable universities, he said. Central Florida is not the only area affected by these issues. Most population increases will occur in South Florida, Thrall said. "If we're going to have access to higher education in the state, there will have to be more branches of already existing campuses or new campuses," Thrall said. UF has been impacted already by an increase in student enrollment. Each year, admissions officials must estimate how many students they should accept in order to bring in the desired number of freshmen. If for some reason their estimate is off, for example, when the Bright Futures Scholarship Program first began, they may end up with more students than the university can manage. The estimates are never exact because officials never know how many of the accepted students will decide to attend. "The yield rate was pretty phenomenal," said Albert Matheny, UF's director of Academic Advising. Of the 22,000 applications for the Summer and Fall terms, 12,000 students were accepted, Matheny said. The normal yield rate for the Summer term is much SEE ENROLLMENT, PAGE 8 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Student Government kicks off the Fall election season as the Gator and Impact parties begin seeking candidates for the 46 open Student Senate seats.

2, ALLIGATOR 0 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 News Today NATIONAL F R AST Poll: Public divided on whether humans evolved WASHINGTON (AP) Americans are divided on whether hurrarns and other living things evolved over time or have existed in their present forms since the beginning of time, according to a new poll. People on both sides of the argument think students should hear about various theories, however. Nearly two-thirds of those in a Pew Research Center poll, 64 percent, said they believe creationism should be taught alongside evolution -a finding likely to spark more controversy about what is taught in the schools. That controversy could be related to the difficulty of measuring public sentiment about teaching evolution, creationism or the more recent concept of "intelligent design," a Pew official said.

4, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 'G kiedion season begins with ethics vows, slating By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer Irichards@alligator.org Students seeking to represent their peers in the Senate can apply in the Reitz Union today, Friday or Tuesday. The 46 open Senate seats represent residence halls and off-campus zip codes. The first step to being slated, or tapped to rum with an SG party, is qualifying, which will take place in Room 346 of the Reitz Union today and Friday and in Room 288 on Tuesday. Prospective senators must have a 2.0 GPA, a 12-credit undergraduate or 9-credit graduate courseload and a clean conduct record on campus. Qualified students can then interview with the Gator or Impact party, the only two slating candidates for the Fall election. Gator will interview in Room 347 today and Friday and Room 276 on Tuesday. Impact's interviews will be in Room 355 today, Room 349 on Friday and Room 277 on Tuesday. Qualifying and interviewing both go from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students who do not interview, or who interview and are not slated, can rnm independently. All candidates must attend a mandatory election meeting Sept. 7. Student Government kicked off the Fall election season Wednesday with a first-of-itskind meeting to ensure the two parties run ethical campaigns. Impact and Gator party leaders met with Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland on Wednesday night. The supervisor watched party representatives read the SG election codes, asking them to affirm after each section that they understood the contents. "Ignorance is no longer an excuse," he said. Students had pled ignorance to accusations of foul play in the Spring elections, he said. Maland swore to hold 'Stu dent the parties accountable for OV FLnt @t any violations committed during campaigning. The statutes prohibit campaigning in classrooms, door-to-door campaigning on campus and promising benefits to a student or organization in exchange for political support. Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski also spoke at the meeting. "Last year's elections were a bit of a challenge," he said, noting a state official told him Florida elections were simpler than UF's. Zdziarski said he wanted to see an ethical campaign without people being "threatened, coerced and harassed." Maland said members of the election commission were cornered and threatened by party members during last Spring's election, according to accormts he had heard. "Horrible, horrible things were done," Maland said. "They won't be taken lightly." The two parties also begin reviewing candidates for Student Senate seats today. Gator spokesman Thomas Philpot said Lis party offers the more experienced leaders. "You're going to see a considerable advantage in the experience and the ideas that The Gator Party is able to offer," he said. Impact President Thomas Jardon said his party will try to "turn no one away." "Our main intent is to make sure SG represents all students fairly and equally," he said. Impact's platform has three tenets: "real" online voting, responsible spending of student money and the end of legacy positions in SG. Jardon said SG should "spend less on lobbying trips to (Washington) D.C." and more on free printing, Sunday bus service and wireless access throughout campus. Gator's platform has not been finalized, but Philpot said the party will continue to pursue last Spring's objectives. These include free online music, campus wireless access, gym towels and improved readership programs. The Voice and Access parties also registered for the Fall election, but representatives said they were only securing the party names. "I felt pretty bad last year when it was taken for political reasons," Access President Ansell Fernandez said. "We're looking to get Access back to the way it was." Fernandez said he has not yet decided whether he will support a party. Voice President Peter Gruskin said his party is "with Impact and Progress." "We don't want to split up the non-Gator votQ," Gruskin said. Students interested in Student Senate candidacycan apply for ii. seats representing on-campus housing and 35 seats representing off-campus constituents.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 redit-card surcharges affect students' bottom lines UF: No profit gained from 'convenience fee' By BOBBY KEITH Alligator Contributing Writer There's a banner hanging above the back entrance of Criser Hall that states, "Students enter here to pay your fees." Maybe it should say, "Students enter here to avoid paying extra." Since July 26 a fee of 2.6 percent has been added to all online creditcard payments made on ISIS for all student. fees and "account-receivable charges." This encompasses everything UP students owe to the university, including parking fines, infirmary charges and tuition. Students have only two ways to avoid paying the fee: pay online with an electronic check or wait in line at S113 Criser Hall and pay in person. Making the trek to Criser Hall will spare students the extra charge. "I had to come here in person because it cost, like, $77 more to pay [tuition] online," said graduate student Tiffany Lightner, 22. "I also had to park illegally." UF implemented the additional cost in order to offset processing fees charged to the university. The trip to Criser Hall may be difficult for some students who don't live near campus. Jeff Grant, 23, is taking all his classes through the Internet in Naples and is not required to set foot on campus all semester. "This could be a real hassle for me," Grant said. About 22 percent of UF students paid their fees on ISIS with credit cards last year, said Stuart Hoskins, senior associate controller at UP. Graduate student Leila Noriega, 24, decided to pay in person this year to avoid the added cost. "It doesn't make much sense why they just decided to charge us," Noriega said. But Hoskins said it does. The revenue generated through the "convenience fee," he said, will go directly to the credit-card companies and to the contracted outsourcing company, which is a middleman that processes ISIS transactions. UF will not profit from the fee, Hoskins added. As a result of the charge, students will no longer be able to use their VISA credit cards to pay tuition on ISIS, creating another potential inconvenience for many students. "It doesn't make much sense Why they just decided to charge us." Leila Noriega UF grad uate student VISA doesn't allow surcharges to be added to the consumer's bill by any merchant, said Randa Ghnaim, spokeswoman for Visa USA. "Other universities have stopped using VISA for the same reason," Ghnaim said. "It's a rule that we require every merchant to follow." -As a result MasterCard and American Express are the only two remaining credit cards students can use on ISIS. Hoskins said VISA would still be accepted if the service charge were a flat rate, such as $10 per transaction, instead of a percentage. "We couldn't decide on a flat fee that would be appropriate to use for both a parking ticket and your tuition," Hoskins said. He said most UF students receive grants and scholarships, and their fees are paid out within the first weeks of the school year. These students receive deferments and are not required to pay until November. But even then the same rules will apply for all students. Despite stern statute ISIS surcharge likely not illegal under Florida law By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@altigator.org UF's new online credit-card usage fee has raised the question of whether or not it is legal to charge students more money depending on how they pay their tuition. Florida Statute 501.0117 states a seller "may not impose a surcharge on the buyer or lessee for electing to use a credit card in lieu of payment by cash, check or similar means, if the seller or lessor accepts payment by credit card." However, the statute "does not apply to the offering of a discount for the purpose of inducing payment by cash, check or other means not involving the use of a credit card, if the discount is offered to all prospective customers." Calls to UP's General Counsel and University Financial Services for comment were not returned Wednesday. The statute also makes exceptions for surcharges on approved state or federal tariffs. *UF law professor Christopher Peterson said the statute, despite some ambiguous wording, probably would allow the surcharge. "It's more likely than not that section 501.0117 does not apply to the university because the charges in question are imposed pursuant to an approved state tariff," he said. The cost of operating a public university like UF is covered only in part by tuition, he said. "Every student at this university gets a generous subsidy from the taxpayers of the state," Peterson said. "Those students who were paying by credit card were being more generously subsidized by the taxpayers than students who paid by cash or check," he added. Florida is one of 10 states to prohibit credit-card surcharges, according to Bankcard Holders of America. Like UF local restaurants and gas stations are charged by credit-card companies to process transactions, and in return they charge customers small fees to offset the cost from creditand debit-card usage. Taco Bell charges drive-through customers 99 cents per debit-card transaction, and Gyro's Falafel Plus on Southwest 13th Street charges customers 25 cents to use their debit card and 50 cents to use credit cards.

6, ALLIGATOR ETHURSIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 EditoriaI Rash decisions Bush administration cut funds for hurricane plans ore than two days after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the city is in worse shape than during the 145-mph storm. Thousands of people ard trapped in the city. Water has broken through levees, causing the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain to flood the town's famous streets. Everything is contaminated, and citizens are without food and water. Most shocking, officials say dead bodies will soon cause disease to spread through the lake that was once a town. With every street becoming a canal of its own, people are trapped in houses drowning in water. Current predictions put the death toll into the thousands. We all knew that someday this would happen. Some areas of New Orleans are two meters below sea level; it resembles a soup bowl just waiting for someone to ladle in the liquid. Every time a hurricane even points in the direction of the Gulf, people talk about how New Orleans could disappear like Atlantis. So why is the aftermath such a fatal mess? The -blame first goes to the Bush administration. Since 2001 the federal government has reduced drastically funding to the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. That means the halt of plans for hurricane-proof levees and studies into how to withstand Category 5 hurricanes. In the 2006 fiscal year 'alone, the Corps received a $71.2million reduction in federal funding. Where did those five years of extra funding go? Probably much was diverted to homeland security, the fight against terrorism and the war in Iraq. Now officials are floundering in what they repeatedly call a "logistical nightmare." Of course it's a logistical nightmare, but funds should have gone to help plan for it. Instead, it's a guessing game. The latest idea is to drop five-ton sandbags into the 400-foot breach in the London Avenue Canal. If that doesn't work, officials are planning to lower pieces of concrete highway. But the federal government isn't the only one to blame for this operation's shortcomings. New Orleans officials only began evacuating the city a day before the hurricane struck, despite thelack of roads leading out of town. Pictures of the evacuation showed cars in stopped traffic, with people loitering on the highway. This exodus wasn't nearly efficient enough. Furthermore, residents without transportation were left to Mother Nature. Herded into the highly inappropriate Louisiana Superdome, families waited in darkness as the roof of their "safe haven" ripped off and water seeped underneath the doors. Now officials are planning to move the thousands still stranded in the Superdome to the Reliant Astrodome in Houston, 350 miles away. About 15,000 refugees a day will be removed from the city. They say they'll do it by bus -ina city 80 percent covered in water. Wouldn't this have been easier before the hurricane struck? Of course evacuating such a big city is never easy, and no one likes to leave home unless it's certain a hurricane is going to hit. However, officials had decades to plan-for such an event. They knew it would happen one day -each generation just hoped it wouldn't be its problem. Now it is. When the tsunami hit Asia last fall, everyone balked at the lack of organization after hundreds of villages and towns were washed out. No one thought such chaos could happen in the Western world, especially the United States. Hopefully, officials will continue to focus their energy on evacuating survivors. The damage to the city was sealed before the hurricane even hit. a 1 th indep de flo rida at or Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR The Algator encourages comments from readers,.

While the summer death of CNN's long-running and groundbreaking shout-at-you political debate program inspired mourning in news junkies and ovations from media critics, such as Comedy Central's sharp-tongued Jon Stewart, don't shed too many tears for Robert Novak or the rest of the "Crossfire" gang. They'll no doubt find employment on any one of the other approximately 19,000 debate programs, where they will continue to further the public discourse. In the manner of Cicero and Caesar. By shouting vulgarities at each other. Of course the great irony in all this is that the flunkies and hacks on these shows burst capillaries in-defense of politicians who long ago abandoned the core values on which they were elected. Your Paul Begalas and James Carvilles will argue with ferocity for liberal ideals and programs that vanished from the political discourse during the Reagan administration. The Democratic Party hasn't nominated a truly liberal candidate for the presidency since George McGovern. Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry -they were never the acolytes of the far left that Republicans portrayed them to be. The modem Democratic Party has descended so far into cowardice and middle-of-the-roadism that it seems surreal for left-wing pundits to defend it with more passion than it is willing to display in defending itself. However, never let it be said that irrational ardor is a partisan quality. You find on the right, too, many who will preach with obvious sincerity on the virtues of small government and in the next breath ferociously defend the Patriot Act and President Bush's misadventures in Iraq. Where in the platform of the classical Republican Party is it written that conservatism is manifested in aggressive and nore meaningless Andrew Bare unnecessary foreign wars? Speaking Out Where were small-government republicans, so anxious in the '80s to eviscerate the Department of Education, when the president pushed through the No Child Left Behind Act? This piece of education legislation established new layers of obnoxious and obtrusive federal standards for schools at the local and state levels. Those Republicans exist, yes, but they find themselves -bound and gagged by their party's leadership, which has sold out the once-laudable principles of the RepublicanParty to the religious right. So be it. Their extremist allies have delivered on their side of the bargain, spearheading electoral eviscerations over the past several years. But in the deal the soul of the Republican Party has been torn asunder and sold for scrap to those more interested in preventing two men from committing to a legally recognized monogamous relationship than the virtues of small government. There was a time when Republicans believed the federal government should not interfere ifra corporation wanted to. well, do anything up to and including kidnapping citizens and using their bodies to fuel machinery. There was a time when Democrats were society's irrational dreamers, demanding the piss-pots ran with naught but claret wine. And now the party of Lincoln is dedicated wholeheartedly to making gay citizens second-class citizens. And the party of FDR no longer has the backbone to resist them.

Letters to the Editor SG should fund readership program I am appalled that Student Government is going to abandon the extremely successful USA Today and New York Times readership program. The readership program has brought international and national news to UF students, which papers like the Gainesville Sun and other local papers on campus are lacking. So students are going to be able to get the Sun, complete with its disappointing student section, but not the New York Times or USA Today? The difference in the grammar alone is reason enough to bring us the New York Times rather than the Sun. Additionally students can get the Sun's information for free in the Alligator (local and campus news), but not international or national news. Also, I am extremely disappointed SG is spending $67,187 to advertise itself but refuses to spend that money on services that actually help students. What exactly are they advertising anyway, SG's existence? The best way to do that is to give students services they use and enjoy like the readership program, not TV commercials saying how great SG is. The Gator Party promised to "bring SG to every Gator," but it seems like one of the mostused services actually will be taken away from students by the Gator Party. Rosemarie Clouston 2JM Students had say in road construction In Tuesday's column "Students should have more say in UF issues," Scott Gilton should have checked his facts before he started talking. Although I agree with most of what he said, his comments on the construction of Second Avenue were careless. Spend five minutes on the Internet and you'll find out that Second Avenue is State Road 26A. It is a state, not a city, project. Second, they're not idiots. They do think of the timing of construction, and it is scheduled for completion in 465 days. It's hard to fit that into a summer. If you want to "have more say," go to the public meetings! There were several boards announcing the open house at the Women's Club along Second Avenue regarding the construction. Take a little'time and you'll find out a lot.

Rivkin and his family left New Orleans last week, following evacuation orders. By JULIA CARVALHO Alligator Contributing Writer As the effects of Hurricane Katrina become more serious with each day that passes, the Lubavitch-Chabad Jewish Center in Gainesville is working to keep the hope and faith alive. Tulane University's Chabad Director Rabbi Yochanan Rivkin, who left New Orleans last week with his wife and four children, created a temporary command post at the center, through which hurricane survivors can communicate with relatives and find nearby relief centers. Rivkin and Rabbi Berl Goldman, director of the center, led a small prayer service Wednesday evening for those still in New Orleans. It began, "Deliver me, 0 God, for the waters have reached unto my soul." Goldman said Rivkin and his wife, Sarah, have been working day and night to help people who have left New Orleans to get in touch with nearby Chabad centers. They are also serving as messengers, sending e-mails or calling people whose relatives they have been able to reach in New Orleans. Today, for example, a woman was able to reach Rivkin to say she had made it out of New Orleans to Alabama. Rivkin immediately sent the girl's grandmother an e-mail. "We're talking about mindnumbing devastation," Rivkin said and stressed that faith is comforting when dealing with disasters like this. "Faith helps show that life is more than just material possessions," he said. The Rivkins have attended conferences in Gainesville in the past and decided last week they would come here when New Orleans received an evacuation order. Though they thought it would be only for a few days, they are now unsure of when they will go home. The Rivkins said their family of six will stay with relatives in New York if they are unable to return soon to New Orleans. Officials: Sharp increase in UF student body may be related to Meyer ENR LLMENT, from page 1 higher, with a yield of about 76 percent last year. In the Fall it's about 50 percent. But this year about 7,200 students enrolled, making the yield rate about 3-percent higher for both Summer and Fall compared to the previous year. Students' better understanding of the advantages of the. Florida Bright Futures Scholarship may have influenced the higher number of students, he said. The newy Gators Head Football Coach Urban Meyer's arrival also may have contributed to the increase in enrollment, he said. "I really believe that that has something to do with it," Matheny said. More students attended UF after the basketball team's appearance in the 2000 NCAA Final Four and the football national championship in 1997, he said. Thrall said UF's new president and its attempt to increase academic prestige also may have played a role. The recent influx of freshmen at UF has created pressure on the dorms, said Norb Dunkel, director of Housing and Residence Education. "We knew about three months ago that the numbers were ahead of any previous year," Dunkel said. Student There are about 148 temLffe porary triples, or dorm rooms housing three students instead of the usual two, he said. Three hundred more students are on a waiting list to get in, Dunkel said. UF freshman Richard Precious is living in one of the triples. "They didn't really tell me how long this was going to be," he said. "I just applied for housing too late." Precious shares a desk with one of his roommates and finds room on the floor and under the bed to keep his belongings. "It's a cramped lifestyle," he said. Precious and his roommates have not unpacked because the room is so crowded. "They call it a temporary, but it's basically permanent," he said. The only advantage is lower rent for the room, Precious said. "It basically sucks," he said. "I can't wait until one of my roommates gets out."

T h e THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 FBI files By GABRIELLA VIGIER Avenue Writer Many in America believe The Man is watching them. History proves the government not only did that, it kept files on them, too. t Most people never see their files, but UF fine arts professor Arnold Mesches went a step further. Through the Freedom of Information Act, he obtained his FBI file and turned it into an internationally acclaimed art show called "The FBI Files." The show opened last Friday in the University Gallery on Southwest 13th Street and Southwest Fourth Avenue in Building B of the Fine Arts Complex. It will run through Oct. 7. Mesches discovered he was being watched by the FBI in the mid-194Bs. The government based its acbioos on the belief that Mesches was involved in communist, um-American activities, he said. "The first page of the report I got was dated Oct. 5, 1945," he said. Mesches was well-aware he was being followed, along with many other people. "There were hundreds of thousands of people being followed back then," Mesches said. "Everybody knew they were being followed. You'd see them in cars, and you'd wave at them. You knew who they were." Mesches started his written requests to see the file around 1997 and finally received the 760-page file in early 2001. The exhibition at University Gallery is the presentation of this file in the form of collages, paintings and drawings. "I think that is what art is," Mesches said. "It's taking something personal in your life and turning it into an artistic statement." Mesches uses vibrant colors to display memos and files placed alongside different media images of the past 22 years like an image of Rosa Parks on her famed bus ride and an image of Marlon Brando from "The Wild One." "I took images that worked aesthetically," Mesches said. "That was more important than anything else." When Mesches received his file, many of the important names and incriminating details were redacted, or blacked out. Mesches said he believes that these black slashes add to the work's beauty. Opening night for "The FBI Files" attracted an audience of more than 150 people, which Amy Vigilante, University Gallery director, said she was very happy about. "I love it," Vigilante said. "I think Arnold has done a brilliant job." Barbara Jo Revelle, creative photography professor, said she was not surprised by the exhibition's immediate success.

10, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 Opposite music sty es attract at Common Grounds It's interesting how music from what seems like two completely different realms can co-exist within one person's musical fancy. Really, choosing a favorite is hard. Although we all have our preferences, you can't settle for just one type. So for the afflicted people who fall into the category above, shake hands with local alt-country great Swayze (yes, greats and local in the same sentence!) as the band teams up with the indiepunk style of Jet By Day Sept. 5 at Common Grounds. "We're really only concerned with the songs being good," said Jesse Zeigler, guitarist and vocalist of Swayze. Zeigler couldn't have put the band more in a nutshell if, well, it was in.a nutshell. The group, for those who haven't seen or heard them al-, ready, are an acoustic alt-country quartet, complete with intricate harmonies by Ziegler and Wade McMullen (on bass), intertwining guitar melodies alongside Andy Kulick and multi-instrumentalist Mike Maines, who plays pedal steel guitar, trumpet and, well, whatever he can when it's needed. Besides the time that Sufjan Stevens and the Fiery Furnaces dominated Ziegler's ears, the group has been working on new material any chance it can. It debuted a song or two at its past show at the Civic Media Center. "New stuff is definitely happening but happening slowly. Our practice and recording schedules are far from rigorous, so patience is an important Swayze virtue. We have eight or nine .new songs with at least a rough track or two down on tape," Zeigler said. "I'm happy with the way that most of the new stuff is feeling." Ever since the group released its first full-length, "A Shame Play," a year ago, it's gone sans drummer, and it's going to keep it that way. It's better that way, honestly. The "home" feeling of the songs comes through, the lyrics aren't bashed over by swirls of cymbals, and frankly, the music itself is actually heard Marshall Terry instead of just Playlist listened to. ttssvnse@slligster.srg The group is releasing a three-way split EP with Warren Hixson and ASPE due out this September on Arkain Records. On that and at this show, fans can hear why Swayze is the best act of its kind in town. Jet By Day .Jet By Day What to say? Well, the band travels a lot, playing tons of shows alongside groups such as Braid and Jucifer with loud, anthem-like punk sounds topped off with vocals that rival those of Hoobastank and Relient K. Whether or not that's a good thing or a bad thing depends on the listener, of course. The songs are non-stop rock blasted from stacks of amps, probably turned up to 11. Let's recap Splendid acoustic melodies, pedal steel guitar, loud indie-punk, both in the middle of their Florida/Georgia tour with each other. Loud, then mellow. Opposites attract, right? Right. Walk of shame no longer embarrasses; embrace morning-after look It's often called the walk of shame -the tousled-hair, wrinkled-clothes, morning-after return trip to the apartment in front of God, friends and roommates. But I think-it's a misnomer. Shame is so rarely involved. In my experience it should be called the walk of awkward situations at an hour too early for quick thinking or social recovery. The first time I slept over with the guy I'd been seeing earlier in the summer, I made a quick, easy escape in the morning without seeing his roommate, who is his recent ex. Feeling inspired for being up so early and wanting to take the day on full charge, I headed to Starbucks for a coffee fix. In my still-sweaty-from-dancing-thenight-before clothes and with my hair standing on end, I went in to find a former writing professor waiting for his drink in front of me. He says hello and tells me he's impressed I'm up so early, adding that it's very atypical for a student. "I didn't sleep in my own bed last night, and so I had to leave early," I said boldly. He looked me over, starring specifically at rmy disheveled hair for a moment, then nodded. No shame. Instead, I felt empowered to show this part of my life to someone who had a narrow view of my life. More recently the first time my guy slept over at my place with my new, and random, roommates, he walked out of my room in the early mornMr. Lube ing to find one of them Risqu6 Business Ion the couch. theavenue@aligator.org I stayed in bed, so my "walk of shame" was much later. My walk started from my bedroom and ended with cereal in my kitchen. In my pajamas I braved looks from my roommate who probably was still contemplating the implications of a male leaving my room in the early morning. Again, I felt no shame. This Sunday morning I had a new, but still shameless, walk. I was at his place. He left early to go to work, and I set my cellular-phone alarm to get up an hour later. I planned to be up and out before his roommate/ex had to leave for work. As Turned off the alarm, loud banging followed an attempt to open the locked bedroom door. I got dressed and was shuffled out with forceful politeness by the ex. That morning, I walked with my eyes low and my head down, but not for shame.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, I1. and names are sometimes deceiving. in fact, much of the time it seems band names don't make any sense. But they have to mean something, right? Local Gainesville band, The French Horns, has a perplexing name in that none of the four band members plays the French horn. "My wife played the French horn in middle school," says drummer Josh Ney. "That's pretty much where our name came from." The way the band chose its name gives great insight to the type of group they are. The indie pop band, comprised of Ney; Steve Clay, guitar and vocals; Dan McCoy, bass; and Jesse Long, violin; is laid back, which makes the songs easy to listen to. The bands' front man, Clay, is the shy one. The onstage banter comes from behind the drum set where Ney sits on his vintage chair. "We're not the typical band," Clay said. "We are different, and we do songs in styles you won't hear other bands do." An album, with a yet-to-be-determined title, is in the making. The band records from a home operation in a relaxed environment similar to its practicing habits. "We practice one or Vera two times before the Hadzi-Antich show," Clay said. "We try and set most of our time theavenPl@gator.org aside for recording our new album." The bands single, "Amy L," will be released in a couple months by Clairerecords, and the full album soon after that by a record label in Japan -Quince Records. Come see The French Horns live at The Shamrock Friday night for a $5 cover if you are under 21 years old and $3 if you're over.

12, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,2005 AY Munee Arv uk,3 eod rp e yfn Munkeez Strikin'Matchiz -tiBtntnAtotitic Mass oulo.Ximentmix/Munkadelic Muzik & Productions Munkeez Strikin' Matchiz brings it big time in its decidedly funky debut, "BanamAtomic Mass." Monkeez Strikin' Matchiz keeps the fight -live for all things funky. "BananAtomic 'Mass," is a straight-ahead record. The first track, appropriately titled "The Mission," declares: "To extend to you some funk is our only desire." I must relay, mission accomplished. The subsequent 10 songs bring the funk relentlessly, in a way that feels retro but never old. Along with that, it also serves up something truly special: a historic collaboration featuring three generations of legendary musicians. In a wonder to behold, "Wreck It" features Bo Diddley, Chuck D and Bemie Worrell. Something that has to be heard to be believed is the sheer force behind Bo Diddley, whose rough growl is just as powerful as it was 50 years ago. Even Chuck D's famous boom of a voice is left sounding shallow nextto his. Underneath Bo and Chuck trading raps, Bernie Worrell lays down the keys that bring it its funky edge. In a testament to the band, the rest of the record is not simply blown away by the historic nature of "Wreck It." It stays away from the major fault of bad funk records in which the same inane phrase is repeated for infinite periods of time. The Munkeez keep vocal and horn arrangements tight and explore their grooves without it feeling forced. -A highlight track, "Doin' What We Got To," brings a guitar-heavy sound straight from classic funkadelic. The song also personifies the simple but effective political messages ftnksters love to bring, all while being exceedingly fun to dance to. "BananAtomic Mass" brings the funk and a historic track that will keep maggot-brains happy until the mothership lands. Buy it locally at Hyde & Zeke Records, No Future Records and CD Warehouse. 30 Seconds To Mars A Beautiful Lie Virgin Records America 30 Seconds To Mars again fails to find its niche. Its sophomore album, "A Beautiful Lie," features throwaway post-grunge garbage that only sees the light of day because of its famous frontman Jared Leto. Though I respect his artistic aspirations, he's in a role simply typecasts himself into an angsty 20 something and offers little that is noteworthy. The problem with 3.0 Seconds To Mars has always been an ironic one: it's extremely bland. Its model lead singer does more than fail to exploit his good looks; he hides from them. This I find kind of silly. Almost every single successful rock band in history has some sort of iconic lead singer. Even when the band is not performing, it set a tone for its music by the way it simply conductsitself. With 30 Seconds, almost all of what can be picked up has to be from the songs themselves. Unfortunately, the songs are extremely vague. Leto is sad. Leto is angry. That's just about the extent of his range. What's worse is the overproduction of its sound, which is slick but ungraceful. There are overdubs and vocal effects, which result in something extremely sanitized despite Leto wailing and screaming on top of it all. Thankfully, at only 10 tracks, "A Beautiful Lie" is on the short side. With any hope it will be 30 Seconds' last, because its 15 seconds is twice over. -BRIAN OFFENTHER r Sin City Robert Rodriqttez, Frank Miller (II) Rated R Walk down the right, back alley in Sin City, and you can find anything. Anything except a worthwhile DVD, that is. Visually beautiful, emotionally captivating and groin-bustingly violent, "Sin City" has something for everyone. Based on a line of graphic novels penned by the astonishingly talented Frank Miller, "Sin City" was without a doubt one of the biggest movies of the year. The $74 million it made domestically at the box office can attest to that. And it really did earn every penny. Director Robert Rodriguez, of "Desperado" and "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" fame, did an excellent job of bringing the comic to life without losing the essence of the novels themselves, a very important factor in any comic-book movie. Can we say "Catwoman?" This element was especially vital to Miller, who had originally refused to give up the rights to any of his works. Rodriguez shot the opening sequence of the movie and sent the finished footage to Miller, who was so impressed he immediately approved the film and signed on as co-director.

The movie was nearly frame-forframe the same as the novels, which is understandable considering Miller and Rodriguez used the comics as storyboards for the film.

Unfortunately, we don't get any of this. No special-effects featurette, no commentary from the cast and crew, no extended or deleted scenes (of which there are many because Rodriguez and Miller shot the entire comic and then edited for time) and no hidden Easter-egg extras. But worry not; salvation is on the way. In a recent interview with DVD Review, Rodriguez informed us that a "Sin City: Special -Edition" will be hitting shelves around December. And this edition will be packed full of goodies, the coolest of which is having all three stories in their entirety on separate discs, so it'll be like watching three separate movies, and the oddest of which is the "Ten Minute F**ing School."

They supercede stereotypes. Mohawkdonning punk rockers and pinkLacoste-wearing frat boys alike gotta have 'em. iPods have become more than a trend. iPods make it possible for a person to listen to his or her specific music choice whenever and wherever he or she likes. Apple calls iPod the "digital music revolution," and it is exactly right. With more than 21 million iPods sold worldwide, iPod is the world's most popular digital music player. UF reflects these stats; students toting iPods clipped on their belt loops are everywhere. While walking to class can be seen person after person walking to the beat of their own music on their iPods. UF senior Nathan Easley, who has 1,900 songs on his iPod, said he enjoys the convenience of his iPod. "I listen to it in my car and when I'm walking around campus," he said. "You can listen to exactly what you want, when you want." But Christiane Kaminsky, a UF health science senior who enjoys the 682 songs on her iPod, found that the iPod has decreased her safety while she is walking to class. "I think I am more prone to getting clipped by a biker," Kaminsky said. "Those suckers come out of nowhere." Despite the risk Kaminsky continues to walk to a beat all her own. "It lets me focus on something else besides how unbearably hot it is outside," she said. Through weather and accidentprone bikers, UF iPod owners trod on. The most obvious place to observe the obsession that is iPod is on an RTS bus. "I would dread taking the bus if I didn't have my iPod," UF senior Duke Romkey said. "I'd probably resort to randomly staring at people for entertainment." Romkey has 908 songs on his iPod and had just listened to "Blood Brothers" by Papa Roach. Heather Britton, a UF psychology senior who calls herself an aspiring iPod owner, said the only reason she doesn't have an iPod yet is because she isn't ready to shell out the $299 for the constantly evolving iPod technology. Melissa iPods have Filipkowski expanded from Avenue Writer their original theavenue@alligator.org state of merely allowing owners to download thousands of songs quickly. They now offer fun, color LCD screens, photo-storage capabilities and can even pick up digital radio stations called Podcasts. "I wouldn't know where to start," Britton said. UF even has its own podcast, enabling the millions of iPod owners across the world to tune in to the university's news and latest happenings. From here the iPod can only evolve further as the technology continues to develop. It is only a matter of time before iPod owners can download movies and watch digital-quality TV from the convenience of their handheld devices. Kaminsky said she believes that while this is definitely the foreseeable future for the iPod, it might be a little bit more dangerous for her while walking on campus if both her hearing and sight were preoccupied. "I probably wouldn't even make it across the street," she laughed. Local band Apollo Quartet is a tight-knit group of friends.

16, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 ators flocked to the club Abbey Road last Thursday for the triurmphant return of the original Alligator Rocks crew with its gut-bursting renditions of classic bar songs and scandalously suggestive parodies. "It's exciting to be back," said pianist Mark King, who lives in Orlando and will be traveling to Gainesville once-a week for shows. -. "I jumped at the opportunity." Mike Scott, director of entertainment for the new downtown club, said bringing the dueling pianos back was a "no-brainer." King and a revolving group of about five piano players will perform Thursday nights. He says he hopes to bring in as many fans as Alligator Rocks did. "We used to have it jammed," King said. Alligator Rocks closed in 2003 after being sold and is now home to Jewells, a billiard lounge and pub. Abbey Road, formerly known as Brick City, is part of a new "downtown entertainment experience" that combines three different atmospheres into one all-inclusive party area. New owner Randy Grinter already has revamped and refurbished what was once Martini's and 238 West, now Ace of Clubs and Ocean Avenue, respectively, and has big plans for the future. While Abbey Road will feature shows by local bands in adJulia Carvalho dition to the dueling pianos, Ocean Avenue Night Writer will be more of a hightheavenue@alligator.org energy dance area, Grinter said. Ace of Clubs has a more lounge-like feel to it, with big velvety couches and tables to chill around. Grinter also plans on eventually opening a restaurant in the area with the help of the former owner of Casino's Pizza. Grinter makes good use of a huge space with his new venture, and college students will appreciate the variety the three clubs offer for just one cover. As for the former Alligator Rocks groupies, they will be happy to see that Abbey Road has maintained the loud, singalong atmosphere, albeit with a slightly less cozy feel. Pianos rock once again Lirsually can't stand -or stomach, for that matterBret Easton Ellis' work. "Less Than Zero" left me bored (oh, look at all the spoiled coke heads.) "American Psycho," while an interesting concept, struck me as lazy, obnoxious and too over-the-top (though I love the 2000 film version). So imagine my surprise when I picked up Ellis' latest offering, "Lunar Park," and actually liked it. The story starts off simply enough with Ellis charting Bret Easton Ellis"' rise to literary and popular fame, as his eventual plummet with terrific irony (something he painfully lacks in his earlier books) and hilarious exaggeration. Having struck bottom Ellis returns to a former love, actress Jayne Dennis. He marries her, moves to the suburbs with his son and stepdaughter (note that the real Ellis lives in Manhattan and is childless and single), takes up teaching and tries (and-fails) to clean up his act.

What is new, however, is one of these kinds of groups emerging from the Gainesville area. "We try to report on the things we see in front of us -the suffering of all people in hopes to raise awareness and inspire commonality in others who might be suffering the Eme," said Voice of the People's emcee Marley Montano, aka The Messenger. Admittedly, Gainesville is not one of the most problem-plagued cities in America, nor does it have a cool abbreviation like the CPT of Compton, but that hasn't slowed down the conscious hiphop-group. "You could certainly go about your business at a club or at a party as we perform in the background," said Montano. "But if you stop to listen for even a moment, you will be most definitely drawn in." The group is mainly comprised of Montano and Hector Galvez (Etch One) with bringer of beats DJ Kenfolk, Kenny Johnson. The group initially came together when Montano linked up with Johnson via an online music forum. That connection sparked a partnership that attracted many other muDavid Low sicians who have worked Playlist with Voice of the People. theavenue@alligator.org "When you have that many talented and most importantly, passionate, people onstage, you can't help but be touched and/or moved by what is being shared with you," Montano said. Though not nearly as "gangsta" as similar groups of the genre, Voice of the People does not aim to be hardcore. With influences ranging from John Lennon to Common, Voice of the People still conveys powerfully the hardships of the every man, but with a more positive outlook and jazzy melodies. Having just independently released its first group album, "What We're Feeling," the group looks forward to performing live and growing in every respect. "Our live performance is very energetic, exciting and engaging," Montano said. "It's something you can watch from beginning to end and never get bored with." Voice of the People will be performing Sept. 2 at Common Grounds. Until then check them out on the Internet at www.myspace.com/voiceofthepeople. Psycho" Patrick Bateman, a number of young boys begin to go missing, and the family dog meets a sudden, gruesome fate. All of these happenings seem to be connected in some way to Ellis' dead father. Everyone around. Ellis blames the events on his own chemical addictions and utter egomania. To say anything more would serve to give the entire book away. lames Fleming Ellis employs the Off the Press meta-fictional trickheavenue@aIigator.org eries that have been downright overdone in Western literature in recent years, but "Lunar Park" is still a surprisingly clever, honest and even sensitive book, especially given Ellis' previous work. I still don't think he's that great of a writer. Stylistically, many of the themes and ideas he pursues here are interesting and, to some measure, unique. For once Ellis attempts to write an entertaining, thoughtful and genuine novel rather than trying to shock and sicken his readers. In short if you have a high tolerance for weirdness, violence and gore, and are looking for something at least relatively stimulating to read, pick up "Lunar Park."

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 25 Young Gattors re y Vn experience M UF'S CORE IS MADE UP OF SOPHOMORES. By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer The UF volleyball team has its sights set on the number 15 -as in a 15th consecutive Southeastern Conference title. But in order to achieve its goals, the key number for the Gators may be five. Last year's recruiting class was ranked No. 2 nationally by prepvolleyball.com. The then-freshmen group consisting of Marcie Hampton, Angie McGinnis, Karl Klinkenborg and Kisya Killingsworth saw extensive playing time in what UF coach Mary Wise described as the "trickle down" from the injury to opposite hitter Amber McCray. After taking a medical redshirt last season, McCray will retain her sophomore status, making the group even stronger and deeper. Now, all five of UF's sophomores are starters this season, meaning they comprise roughly 71 percent of the starting lineup. That means the team's ability to rebound from a somewhat disappointing season in 2004 and contend for a national title rests, in large part, on the shoulders of the Gators' version of the "Fab Five." McGinnis, last season's SEC Freshman of the Year, feels more confident after -etting a year under her belt. "I'll be a lot more confident because I know the opponents and I've already played against them," she said. "I know the game a little more than I did last year. I think the team's confidence as a whole will be a lot higher than last year." UF's senior captains, reigning SEC Player of the Year Jane Collymore and defensive specialist Rachel Engel, fill the other two starting spots. Collymore said she believes the experience the younger players gained on the court last season and in international competition this spring 'could have a major impact on the Gators' ability to improve upon last year's 28-5 record. "I think experience is the big difference," Collymore said. "We were inexperienced on certain levels last year. The team as a whole is more experienced and three of us have competed at international events and I think there's nothing that can substitute for that." McCray said she expects big things this season as UF's youthful, but gifted, core continues to develop on the court. "Our expectations are high," she said. "I feel like our whole team knows that we have great talent. The players who were young and inexperienced last year have a year under their belt and they're ready to play." Sunshine State Dominance With UF's season opening win against Jacksonville on Monday night, the Gators improved their all-time record against the Dolphins to 130. This is nothing out of the ordinary for the Gators, who have dominated their in-state rivals over the course of their history. UF is 108-20 all-time Luanne Dietz / Alligator After Angie McGinnis (9) eame to UF as part of a star-studded high school class, the sophomore is already a key ingredent to the Gators. against its Florida foes, and they are 51-2 during the Mary Wise era. Gainesville's Native Daughter Monday's season opener marked the freshman debut of Gainesville native Kelsey Bowers of Gainesville High. Bowers played sparingly, recording three kills and a block assist, but she was able to display the energy and quickness that her coaches have been raving about. "What you saw in Kelsey was some aggressive play and her foot speed," Wise said. "How fast she isI think it is going to be really fun to watch her develop not only over four years, but even just this season." \-f-fJ-fjsJ -fUD.=J1 & TOMORROW IS FEE PAYMENT DEADLINE FOR FALL TERM AT 3:30 PM PAY ON ISIS(WWW.ISIS.UFL.EDU) WITH MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER FROM CHECKING ACCOUNT.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org Alligator Fie rPnoto Wyoming's pass attack is expected to give UF's revamped secondary trouble. Jarvis Herring believes the Gators' secondary is underrated. By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Staff Writer eesteban@aIIigator.org A favorable trend is about to end for UP. In past years, the Gators' first game had traditionally led to an easy opener to prepare for Tennessee. While Wyoming may not play in a strong conference, the Cowboys' impressive finish to 2004 has the projected Mountain West champions filled with selfconfidence for Saturday's game. The Cowboys finished 7-5 last year and played the role of underdog in a 24-21 bowl game victory against UCLA. With 19 starters returning, Wyoming was optimistic throughout fall camp. But it's the team's strengths and the Gators' weaknesses that hve Cowboys coach Joe Glenn excited. "I think [we] know we are going into a tough place to play against a good football team, but at the same time we feel that after the last game we played last year that we have some confidence about who we are and what we're doing," Glenn said. Glenn faced UF coach Urban Meyer twice while Meyer coached at Utah, giving Glenn a chance to see Meyer's offense first hand. At the same time, Meyer is well aware of Wyoming's weak points and will try to exploit a suspect 'defense. "Is it an advantage? [Utah] scored 42 on us last year so I don't know if I'd callit an advantage," Glenn said. "We know the offense, but getting it stopped is another thing." Wyoming will attack the Gators' most untested group, the secondary, with its spread-offense aerial attack led by senior quarterback Corey Bramiet. Bramlet threw for 2,409 yards and 12 touchdowns last season and has earned praise from Meyer. "Bramlet may be the top quarterback we face this fall," Meyer said. "He's an excellent player." "Bramlet may be the top quarterback we face this fall. He's an excellent player." Urban Meyer UF football coach He may not grace the cover of Sports Illustrated or draw serious preseason accolades, but Bramlet's arm will test a Gators' secondary that is high on potential, but low in experience. Aside from starting cornerback Dee Webb, no other corner on the team has ever started a game. Senior Vernell Brown played well enough in the fall to earn the other starting corner spot, but the nickel-and-dime coverage packages remain untested. Freshman Avery Atkins, sophomore Reggie Nelsen and junior Reggie Lewis have yet to register a play in their collegiate careers and will have to grow up quickly in order to stop the likes of Wyoming receiver Jovon Bouknight. Bouknight, who finished 2004 with 63 catches for 1,075 yards and seven touchdowns, is the third leading active receiver in the NCAA in career receiving yards, with 2,510. However, UF starting free safety Jarvis Herring isn't too concerned. "I'm not worried about our secondasy, and I think it's one of our strengths," Herring said. "Nobody knows it yet, but they'll see." The Cowboys retum a strong secondary led by junior cornerback Derrick Martin. Martin finished 14th in the nation with 17 passes defended last year and will have his hands full with the Gators' talented receiving corps. Wyoming's rushing offense is hindered by injuries and the Gators' revamped defensive front could shine. Linebacker Earl Everett is expected to play after dealing with a sore neck for the past week. He should help LF's blitzing attack that will try to put pressure on Bramlet. Senior defensive end Jeremy Mincey said UF's defensive line unit, which Meyer recently called the most improved position on the team, is confident that they'll be able to stop Wyoming's attack. "I really feel like they are going to come in here confident, play as hard as they could and expect to win," Mincey said.But can Wyoming pull off the upset? "I doubt it," ilncey said with a grin. Not just Urban legend, the Swamp Things strike fear in opponents Just go nuts. opponents were genuinely scared to make gun show more than I when the time is right.

A long time ago in a student section far, far away, the Swamp boasted a home-field advantage to be reckoned with. From 1990 to 2001, the Gators lost just five games at home, making the Swamp one of the most feared venues in the nation. Players and coaches had a swagger and bravado to them. No matters whom the Gators faced each week, toeutriere's no reason wnytesu dent section can't be crazy like it once was. While students were mired in the hell-onearth that was the Zookster, that time has come and gone and it's time to make some noise. Here are some guidelines to follow to make the Swamp Things one of the rowdiest sections in the nation: -Wear your Swamp Thing shirts. No one likes rocking the cut off tee to showcase the section. Letween te banjo strumming, moonshine and constant hollering of Rocky Top, it was a hopping hootenanny -Skoal and all. -It's all about the defense. The second an opposing team quarterback lines up under center, don't be alarmed by the drunken fool screaming at the top of his lungs, for he is on the right track. A solid portion of the Swamp belongs to students, so be sure to make noise ita nes preparing a special naress to dangle off the corners of the Swamp with his patented whistle and laminated sign, Edmondson truly rules with an. iron fist when it comes to game days. It's time to reclaim your stadium. If there's one thing I know, it's that Meyer and this team will do everything possible to bring the noise back to the Swamp. So just -keep that mentality.it's the Swamp, where only Gators get out alive.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 27 UF to s0 !It Pay-per-view revenues for hurricane aid Kim Klement / Alligator Senior safety Deshawn Carter, a Hammond, La., native, nearly drove home to help his family after Hurricane Katrina. By IAN FISHER and ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writers The Gators may have escaped the path of a hurricane so far this year, but that doesn't mean UF isn't willing to help the cause. UF announced Wednesday that it would donate $75,000 of its Pay-PerView revenue from the Wyoming game to the American -Red Cross in order to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina. "The effects of Hurricane Katrina are nothing short of tragic and we knowthere is a tremendous need for assistance," UF athletics director Jeremy Foley said. "Floridians endured four hurricanes last year and understand the amount of work the affected areas have in front of them. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been so severely impacted by this devastating hurricane." One UF player took the news of Katrina personally. Senior safety Deshawn Carter finally heard from his family Wednesday morning after not knowing if Katrina affected the Carter clan. Carter is from Hammond, La., which is about 30 minutes away from New Orleans. Fortunately, it was mostly good news for Carter. "Basically everything is fine," he said. "There's no flooding. A lot of trees are blown down, a lot of power lines. The power went out, so that's why they weren't able to contact me." Carter said his family's shed was damaged, but the house was fine. He said at one point he called UF coach Urban Meyer and told him he was going to drive home to make sure his family was all right, but he didn't because he wouldn't have gotten that far anyway. That left him watching TV like everyone else. "The effects of Hurricane Katrina are nothing short of tragic and we know there is a tremendous need for assistance." Jeremy Foley UF athletics director "It's been horrible," Carter said. "The only thing I could do was watch the news and hope and pray for all families and make sure I don't see my family on there." KICKERS CONFIDENT: Meyer wouldn't name a starting tailback, backup quarterback or kicker Wednesday. He said the starting kicker would be a game-time decision. The kicking competition is between junior walk-ons Eric Nappy and.Chnis Hetland. Freshman Jonathan Phillips was also in the mix but he failed to impress Meyer. "We've been kicking really well, but neither one of us has really came out and been perfect," Hetland said. V RC VE $2 0 TDAY THIS WEEK!

"I'm not worried about either one of us right now," Nappy said. "Not to diss the other guys, but we'a definitely the two most capable to handle the job." AND THE WINNER IS: Meyer will receive his -national Coach of the Year award tonight, given by the Fiesta Bowl, the Football Writers Association of America and the Eddie Robinson Foundation. Last year Meyer led Utah to an undefeated season. The Utes became the first non-BCS school to participate in a BCS bowl game, crushing Pittsburgh 35-7. "Honestly I wish [I had received the award] sometime last year because that's old news," Meyer said. "I'm very appreciative of it, especially it being the Eddie Robinson award." THIS AND 'THAT: 'Defensive tackle Javier Estopinan pulled a muscle and was wearing a boot during Wednesday's practice. Meyer said he won't be ready this weekend but may return in time for Louisiana Tech the following Saturday. Linebacker Earl Everett returned to contact drills Wednesday and will be ready to play Saturday, Meyer said. EZ Tennis Stringing -If anybody can strong rackets low, EZ Tennis can string them lower.

28, A LLIGATOR T H URSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 SECFr OTFZALL UF~~~ "cnS ure u ts WI'thnew team tno'ght By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer Ianastasis@aIigator.org The world's largest tug-of-war will be held in Florida living rooms everywhere tonight. For the first time in three years, Steve Spurrier -Gainesville's Golde inBoy and UF's 01' Ball Coach -Will coach college football. For the first time in 16 years, Spurrier will coach a college football team besides the Gators. At 7:30 p.m. EDT, Spurrier leads UF conference rival South Carolina against Central Florida. Tune in and grab snack. But for whom Will YOU cheer? "I'll watch the game and root for Coach Spurrier every day of the week until the one day he plays Florida," said ex-UF receiver Chris Doering, who played under Spurrier from1992-95. "I'm a Gator and I have no split allegiance when it comes to that. The University of Florida is my school and I hope they pound South Carolina when they play them." You'll have a more difficult time convincing today's Gators to support Spurrier. When asked what interest they would have in the game, most players said they will Watch mainly because the game is the season's first. "It doesn't really matter if Steve Spurrier is there or not," wide receiver Dallas Baker said. "I can't say that I have deep feelings for him em a coaching standpoint, but I respect him because of the things he accomplished." Redshirt senior center Mike Degory, one of the few remaining players recruited by Spurrier, could care less. "It's great to have him back in college football, but Coach Meyer's our coach, and it was a long time ago when Coach Spurrier did EZ Tennis In terms of Tennis. bi stores make EZ Tenik look good. wye are lower than them in prices -faster in stringingstock better qUality rackets -can explain or recommend products to customers better. Tell your friends about EZ Tennis. Call 372-2257 -1 great things here," he said. "Will I watch? I don't know. I have a game to focus on this week." Moving Along The best way to describe local sentiments about the man who resurrected a dormant UF program is guarded curiosity. Or perhaps controlled interest. Rooting for Spurrier may be easier tonight when the Gamecocks face a non-conference opponent. In a few weeks, however, South Carolina morphs into a virtual enemy for Gator Nation. Even UF athletics director Jeremy Foley, who calls himself a fan and friend of Spurrier, admits he won't be chummy-chummy with Spurrner once that happens. "Do I call Phil Fulmer during the season? Obviously [Spurrier's] the coach of one of our opponents," Foley said. "We'll be watching him with interest but we're competing with him now. That doesn't mean we don't shake hands or we wouldn't have a beer together, but we're competitors right now and that's just the way it is." Foley found himself at the center of a national Spurrier saga toward the end of the 2004 season. After former coach Ron Zook was fired during the season, fans and media began speculating that Spurner would consider a return to the Swamp. Instead, Foley hired Utah coach Urban Meyer. And in the end, it seems like the odyssey's outcome satisfied both UF and South Carolina. "If I went back there, I'd be doing something I'd already done," Spurrier said. More fun, or more gun? For now, at least for one day, all eyes are focused on the lead Gamecock. Can Spurrier overcome 12 arrests of former or current players? Will the Cock-n-Fire work in a more athletic and offensively-wary Southeastern Conference? Can Spurier win more games than he loses? "I hope we play like winners "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" play," Spurrier said. "Don't beat yourself. Don't do the careless things that cause you to lose. We're going to try our best to accomplish those goals as we go through the season. Despite South Carolina's semidepleted team -mostly composed of players recruited by former coach Lou Holtz -UCF could be in trouble. The Golden Knights finished last season 0-11 and have lost their previous 15 games. "I think for games like this, there are no big speeches needed," UCF coach George O'Leary said. "If you have any blood in your system, you're going to be ready to play." Though Spurrier will be favored in his first game back, his long-term project is a treacherous one. South Carolina has won just three bowl games and has only recorded one 10-win season (1984) in its history. Its only conference title of any sort occurred in 1969, when the Gamecocks played in the Atlantic Coast Conference. UF legend still lives No matter what he does, or doesn't do, no matter how he flops -or resurrects South Carolina's place in the SEC -no honest man can deny Spurrier's lore at UP. He quarterbacked the Gators from 1964 to 1966, winning the Hesiman Trophy in '66 after volunteering to kick the game-winning field goal against Auburn. He returned to UF as a quarterbacks' coach and -of course -in 1990, when he finished his first season as UF's head coach with the SEC's best record. The Gators would win their first six conference titles under Spurrier( Gainesville would never be the same. "He used to say, 'You can't take rings away from me,"' Foley recalled. "And when I first got here people could only dream about the type of program that he built. Back then all anybody wanted to do was win one SEC championship, and he won six. "They didn't talk about national championships until he got here. He raised the bar and he created what Florida football is all about. No one will ever forget about him. Ever."
