Gator, Impact parties finish Senate slating


By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org

Public relations freshman Jill Peck said she
wanted to slate with The Gator Party because
her sorority, Delta Gamma, is active in Student
Government's current administration.
"They're really involved in The Gator Party,"
she said. "I know this orte's more Greek."
And she wasn't the only one.
The Gator Party interviewed 118 candi-
dates Tuesday, the final day of slating, bring-


ing the party's total to 222, nearly three-and-
a-half times as many candidates as the Impact
Party, their opposition. Gator will slate for all
46 available Student Senate seats.
Their rivals, the Impact Party, interviewed
about 40 potential candidates Tuesday, raising
their total to 65. Impact will slate for 40 seats.
Gator Party President Laura Gonzalez said
she was very pleased with the turnout.
"I am very happy to see so many people
excited about The Gator Party," she said.
Impact Party spokesman Adam Roberts
echoed Gonzalez's contentment.


"It-could not have ended any better," he
said. "We are very enthusiastic. We cannot
wait to get started."
Both parties were
Student required to present their
GoverImeiRt completed slates at 11:59
p.m. Tuesday.
The Gator Party wrote up what Student
Body President Joe Goldberg called a "good-
faith agreement" between parties to campaign
ethically. The agreement stated, "I shall not
use or permit the use of character defamation,
libel, slander or scurrilous attacks on any can-


didate or his or her personal or family life, nor
shall I use or permit on my behalf misleading
or untrue advertisements.".
Both party presidents signed the agreement.
"We took the initiative to put the campaign
on the right foot," Gator Party spokesman
Thomas Philpot said. "We want to agree to
those standards from the start."
SG Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland
said no illegal activity was brought to his at-
tention during slating.

Towels carry high price


By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org

Abill allocating almost $50,000 to the
laundering of 15,000 free towels at the
Southwest Recreation Center passed its
first reading in Student Senate Tuesday.
The Gator Party campaigned on the
issue last Spring with a $25,000 price
tag.
"The No. 1 thing I hear all the time
is, 'Where are those towels?'" Student
Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi said.
The Gator Party President Laura
Gonzalez said students' re-use of one
towel for many trips to the gym is a
hygiene problem.
"It's kind of gross that they keep
wiping down the machines with a towel
they have not washed," she said.
Some senators, however, suggested
the money could be spent more wisely.
"This is almost $50,000 which could
be spent elsewhere, like another vehicle
for SNAP or more parking for family
housing," said Sen. Brooke Seidman,
adding that people could bring their
own towels home and wash them.
Senate also approved a $12,266,399
budget for the 2006-2007 period, but it
needs one more reading to be finalized.
To accommodate the budget's growth
spurt, the Senate proposed a 95-cent
increase to students' Activity & Service
Fee. However, the A&S Fee Committee
has yet to confirm that figure.
Sen. Jackie Pace, chairwoman of
the Senate Budget and Allocations
Committee, said the budget's in-
crease is largely due to Florida's new
minimum wage and the recent spike
in fossil fuel prices, which affect
Student Government's operation of fa-
cilities such as the Southwest Recreation
Center.


Flying high
Running through

Michael Burich at-
tempts to fly his Spi-
derman kite at the
UF Treeo Center on
Monday afternoon.
Friends and fam-
ily celebrated Labor
Day with a time-
honored American
tradition: relaxing
and having fun.


SG's subsidization of student tickets
at the Phillips Center for the Performing
Arts, passed during Summer, took a
$41,400 cut in the budget.
Meanwhile, SG's renewed member-
ship in the Florida Student Association
meant state lobbying fees rose by $34,400.
Because the budget was written
before Supervisor of Elections Daniel
Maland implemented a "secured-site"
online voting method for SG elections,
there is no reduction in the budget's
$49,500 elections line. Online voting
is supposed to de-
crease the cost of
elections.
"We're going to
come in drastically
under cost of what
we've been budget-
ed," said Sen. Jared
Pace Hemandez, who
chaired the Senate
Online Voting Committee last Summer.
UF's music ensembles were also cut
from the budget. Cosimi said they may
not meet the standards for fundability
laid out in SG statutes.
The music department should fund
these ensembles, she said.
The budget requires one more read-
ing and a signature to go into effect.
Senators also voted down a resolu-
tion advocating the repeal of a state
law prohibiting vendors from selling
gasoline below cost, which would al-
low vendors to sell gasoline cheaper.
Sen. John Printy said the resolution
could hurt Gainesville's small-busi-
ness community, as only ar, firms
like Wal-Mart could afford to sell be-
low cost.
"The more efficient businesses are
going to benefit and profit from this,"
he said. "More efficient meaning big,
huge, corporate."


Junior Marcus Thomas
and the rest of UF's de-
fensive line are striving to
rebound from an under-
achieving season last year.

dominating performance
on Saturday, Coach Urban
Meyer believes they're well
on their way.

Latin flavor spices up Reitz Union

* SOME 700 ATTENDED WELCOME
MIXER FOR HISPANIC STUDENTS.

By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Writer
dmazzella@alligator.org

Chicas and chicos made the Reitz
Union Grand Ballroom into a "carna-
val" of beads, masks and dance and
gave Tuesday night's Hispanic Student
Assembly a Latin flavor.
Speakers UF President Bernie Machen,
Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski and oth-
ers remarked on that flavor.
About 700 participants attended
at some point in the night, La Casita
Director Leticia Martinez said.
After an hour of tabling by about 40
organizations, UF mascots Albert and
Alberta got the crowd moving with the
orange-and-blue cheer chanted by alum-
ni and students at football games.
Interspersed through speeches and
door prizes were promotional videos for
some of UF's Hispanic organizations and
Student Government.


The promotion for La Casita featured
a student walking through the house ex-
plaining or illustrating what happened in
each room.
When in the kitchen he mentioned
the free lunches offered to students
at the house across from UF on West
University Avenue from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Wednesday.
Cheers met the announcement that
Bacilos, a Grammy- and Latin Grammy-
winning trio, would be the
COm u main act for the Hispanic
Campus
Heritage Month Concert on
Sept. 24.
Polite applause met the announce-
ment that a second group, Yerba Buena,
also will appear at the concert.
Yerba Buena has an eclectic blend of
hip-hop, Latin and African musical styles
and performed for the soundtrack of the
movie "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights"
according to a Hispanic Heritage Month
flier.
Machen mixed with students before
the start of the show in his Latin-style
white button-down shirt with a small


gator on the cuff, a gift from one of the
groups.
He told the audience that this year's
freshman class has about 150 more
Hispanic-Latino students than last
year's.
Amalia Alvarez, introduced as the
first Latina to graduate from UF with
a doctorate degree, recognized winners
of the Association of Hispanic Alumni
scholarships.
The Latin American Club was the only
organization for Hispanics and Latinos
when she came to UF, she said.
Student Body President Joe Goldberg,
a staple of the assembly circuit, fondly
recalled how much he enjoyed dancing
salsa with a Hispanic campus organiza-
tion.
Zdziarski internationalized his wel-
come to this portion of the student body
when he said, "Bienvenidos a UF."
Martinez said the event cost about
$1,400 and the Dean of Students Office
contributed about $1,200 of that amount.
The Association of Hispanic Alumni paid
for the rest.

Soldier thanks dean


By JESSICA GAVILAN
Alligator Contributing Writer

Interim Dean Jill Vames
walked into the conference room
at 9:30 a.m. expecting to have her
usual Tuesday staff meeting.
Instead, she received a round
of applause and a big surprise-
when Senior Airman Jeffrey Solis
dropped by the College of Health
and Human Performance to
thank her for her support.
Solis presented the interim
dean with an American flag
signed by himself and the 12
other members of his unit spon-
sored by the college during their
six months in Iraq.
"That's really special," Varnes
said, taking, the flag and wiping
tears from her eyes. "Thank you."
Every month, the college fac-
ulty and staff filled two to three
boxes with snacks, playing cards,
books, games and calling cards to
send to the troops in Iraq.
"It's hard to find anything out
in the middle of the desert, so
everything helped," Solis said.
"Especially the lip balm and
sunscreen."
The project was organized by
Solis' mother, Janice Douglas, a
secretary in the dean's office.
"Janice mentioned one day
that she wanted to do it, and


everyone was really good about
pitching in," said Michele Dye,
the director of communications
for the college.
"The whole dean's office got
involved."
Solis, 21, said-the care pack-
ages were extremely helpful and
well appreciated, and it made
him feel good to know that peo-
ple back home were still thinking
about him.
Student Douglas sent an
Life American flag to
her son in the most
recent package, and asked him
and the other members of his unit
in the Air Force Security Forces to
sign it as a way to thank Vames
for the college's support.
Varnes said she plans to frame
the flag and hang it up in the of-
fice conference room for everyone
to see.
"We'll have to put it up on
the'wall and replace that ugly
old picture there," Varnes joked,
referring to an old UF campus
photograph.
Solis said although he hopes
to be home for more than six
months, that may not end up be-
ing the case.
"It worked out all right
though," he said. "At least I
made it back in time for football
season."

Event urges opposition to Roberts' Court nomination


By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org


It was standing room only in
the Civic Media Center on Tuesday
night for a meeting to oppose the
nomination of John Roberts for
Supreme Court chief justice.
The event informed the audience
of about 30 as to why Roberts, a con-
servative, should not be appointed
to the Supreme Court.
"It's important for the president
to appoint, and the Senate to con-
firm, judges who
Around are fair who
Gainesville follow the law
and who aren't
known in their careers for being
extremely right-winged," National
Lawyers Guild member Shelbi Day
said. "The judiciary branch is sup-
posed to be a neutral third party."
Andrea Costello, president of the
Gainesville National Lawyers Guild
chapter, pointed out instances when
Roberts spoke against affirmative ac-
tion, women's rights, the Commerce
Clause of the Constitution, separa-
tion of church and state, and the
Geneva Convention.
She based these allegations on
reports from the Alliance for Justice,
the NAACP Education Fund, the
People for the American Way and the
National Organization for Women.


"This is not a lawyer who favors
the use of federal civil rights laws as
a way to protect the majority of peo-
ple in the United States," she said.
However, President Bush said in
his nomination speech that Roberts
possesses experience, wisdom, fair-
ness and civility and has devoted his
career to the cause of justice.
* To counter Bush's confidence
Costello cited a case in Roberts' pri-
vate practice when he represented
the Toyota corporation.
"He successfully advocated that
Toyota didn't have to provide ac-
commodations under the Americans
with Disabilities Act for a woman
who developed carpal tunnel on the
job," Costello said.
A prisoners' rights lawyer .in
attendance agreed that Roberts'
record showed a lack of protection
for minorities.
"It seems like he takes the side
of the powerful most often, and
that's troubling," said National
Lawyers Guild member Cassandra
Capobianco.
Speakers at the event hoped
students and residents would fa-
miliarize themselves with Roberts'
record and take action by contact-
ing senators on the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
"It's our court, and we really
need to be talking about how to get
it back," Costello said.

Attorney Andrea Costello speaks about her opposition to John Roberts becoming chief justice of the
Supreme Court, citing cases he has been involved with, on Tuesday at the Civic Media Center.


IFC hands out bids, scholarships to new frat members


By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer^
kcraig@alligator.org

UF freshman Steven Ross decided to
join a fraternity for the girls, obviously,
he said and to make new friends.
Ross said he visited several fraternity
houses last week during the Interfraternity
Council's recruitment, but nothing fit him


better than Sigma Phi Epsilon.
He was one of nearly 400 UF students
who accepted bids from IFC's 23 fraterni-
ties Friday, signaling the beginning of their
10-week-long initiation.
Along with bringing in new members
throughout recruitment week, IFC also
handed out 10 scholarships for $500 each to
fraternity hopefuls who best embodies the
organization's values.


The IFC chose the scholarship winners
from its recruitment applications.
The -students were ranked in
Greek areas such as GPA, SAT and ACT
ie-- scores, leadership positions and
community-service work.
IFC Vice President of Membership Chris
Bucciarelli said the areas focus-on the four
pillars of IFC: leadership, scholarship, com-


munity and brotherhood.
"We want to recruit guys that are excel-
ling in these areas," he said.
Bucciarelli added that next year all stu-
dents will be required to apply-online to go
through the recruitment process.
"This is so we can really gauge how
many people are going through recruitment
and how many people are accepting bids."

Editorial


One nation

While government flubs,

Americans take up slack
Last week the Editorial Board weighed in on the atrocities
plaguing New Orleans and its outlying areas.
Indeed, the hurricane seemed to bring out the worst
in people. Desperation caused looting and violence, while the
local and federal governments fumbled with how to dean up
the fatal mess.
But, today we want to focus on all the non-bureaucratic
good that has emerged since the tragedy.
For all the shortcomings of our political leaders, individu-
als have taken up the slack with unprecedented vigor.
In classrooms all across campus, professors urged students
to donate to the American Red Cross. And thousands of stu-
dents, the biggest cheapskates of all time, actually took that
advice and placed their almost nonexistent money into the
hands of volunteers.
Local and campus organizations sat in the heat all day to
collect donations.
Parents and students alike trudged out to the heart of the
devastation to help in the traumatic efforts.
Businesses pitched in services, money and supplies.
Most relevantly many universities quickly came to the aid
of the area's devastated colleges. All in all, Katrina affected at
least 29 universities, 11 of which are in New Orleans.
UF is taking in some of these students, charging them in-
state tuition, a financial strain that is both significant and sur-
prisingly sympathetic. About $10,000 lie's between in-state and
out-of-state tuition, and UF is already overenrolled.
Other schools have taken it further; since many students
have lost the thread to their finances, some colleges are offer-
ing the stranded students free tuition. FIU, along with seven
other colleges, has offered some students free or severely dis-
counted prices.
So why is the entire country so devastated and moved by
this disaster? Other parts of the world have experienced such
catastrophes, most notably the 2004 tsunami.
While we watch news of those faraway disasters with inter-
est, it's been awhile since our country has been so genuinely
empathic for the victims of such devastation.
When the tsunami hit select groups asked for donations,
but the same feeling just wasn't there. We saw it as a travesty
far from home; it was a cause -we could pick up and drop a
couple months later. We could talk about it with reserve and
logic; now, emotions run high with every utterance of New
Orleans.
This response is different.
We don't just watch the news with the perverted eye we
reserve for car wrecks; we watch it with mounting anger and
depression. Every new development sparks an urge to help
from almost everyone.
It's like Sept. 11, 2001 it's on our own soil. It's not re-
moved; it's in our face. These could be our families. In fact
many Floridians have friends who are residents of the area.
So we're selfish; we only care about our own. That's just
human nature.
But maybe we can remember in the future the shock and
horror we felt at something so close to home. In Asia families
are still displaced and poverty-stricken but are only remem-
bered at such times as these.
President Bush and New Orleans officials failed in evacuat-
ing the city properly, resulting in the poorest factions being left
behind. Their incompetence is abhorrent.
This hurricane's devastation has revealed the racial divide
of this country. The poorest residents, arid thus the ones left to
die, are predominantly black.
But if our government isn't up to the task, at least American
citizens have shown their competence at helping their fellow
man, no matter his socioeconomic status.

Students' free speech rights threatened


It's one of those ideals almost synony-
mous with being American: freedom
of speech.
Especially in the world of higher edu-
cation, freedom to vocalize dissent either
in or out of the classroom is practically
inherent to the learning process.
Despite these ideals, a recent review
by a national watchdog group claims that
UF restricts students' right to free speech.
In fact it gave UF the lowest rating pos-
sible on its scale.
Before my banner-waving allies
start marching to UF President Bernie
Machen's doorstep, let's get real.
The Foundation for Individual Rights
in Education was founded to help sustain
students' rights at what its founders be-
lieved were an increasing number of par-
tisan universities. Since then, the founda-
tion has brought several universities to
court, usually after a student complained
that his or her rights were violated.
They've won a number of cases.
So what's so wrong with UF? It got
a "red light" rating, meaning at least one
of its policies "both clearly and substan-
tially restricts freedom of speech."
The foundation further defines
this as a policy that "unambiguously


Amy Eisinger infringes" on pro-
Speaking Out tected expression
and has restric-
tions applicable to several types of cam-
pus expression.
The foundation's Web site points to
various sections of UF's Student Rights
and Responsibilities and to descriptions
of what qualifies as sexual harassment.
I read each policy. A main issue the
foundation has with Student Rights and
Responsibilities falls on one sentence:
"Organizations or individuals that
adversely upset the delicate balance of
communal living will be subject to disci-
plinary action..."
Slightly less than vague? Definitely.
But whether or not the-group will file
suit against UF is open to question
- they've done it before to other uni-
versities in similar situations.
Other than this one question re-
mains: As a student at UF, have I felt
my freedoms restricted? Moreover, if UF
is brought to court over a few words in
its policies, will there be any noticeable
changes?
I'd say probably not. In cases like this
generally the only people who come out
winning are the lawyers. What this re-


view does mean is that students need to
be more aware of the way in which the
university can restrict personal liberties.
Will we see deans bolting across
Turlington Plaza to shut down groups?
Maybe not, but blatant displays of cen-
sorship are not the only ways in which
the administration can limit quietly or-
ganizations or people on campus.
What the administration needs to do
is rewrite both policies before they are
used against it.
Universities should harbor free
thought, without ever making stu-
dents feel inhibited for expressing
a personal belief. The foundation's
review should be a wake up call and
a reminder that we as students have
an obligation to scrutinize constantly
the words and actions of our school
and faculty.
Over the last few years, and under
laws like the Patriot Act, we must real-
ize that rights we once took for granted
can be called into question.
And though some might find them
annoying, I loathe the thought of a
Turlington Plaza void of leaflet-wield-
ing campaigners.

Letter to the Editor
Katrina victims deserve attention, help
I am not black. Nor do I take responsibility
for speaking on behalf of the people ravaged by
the monster Hurricane Katrina.
I am, however, outraged.
I'm outraged at President Bush, the media
and, quite frankly, the scary radicals who de-
fend the president at all costs.
The only story in Tuesday's paper about
the political mess of the past two weeks was a
column by Matthew Melone, who claimed that
liberals are politicizing the tragedy.
All right, Matt. Even if we are, and I would
maintain we are not, we only learned how to do
it from the amazing way 3,000 American lives
were politicized after Sept. 11, 2001, by the Bush
administration. Do you think Saddam Hussein
had something to do with this? Or does Mother
Nature just hate our freedom too?
Melone also said liberals are promoting an
agenda. If trying to deliver food to poor, suf-
fering people and pointing out that they are
society's forgotten is wrong, then I am very
pleased to be wrong.

Campus bike theft spikes in Fall

Alligator Contributing Writer .


With falling leaves come rising rates
of bicycle theft on campus, according to
the University Police Department.
"We see this every Fall semester,"
UPD Lt. Darren Baxley said. "New
students either don't know how to lock
their bike properly or don't even lock
them at all, thus leading to the increase
in bike thefts in the Fall."
Scott Baltz, a UF sophomore, has
had two $500 bicycles stolen on campus
in the past year..
"If I were to give advice to anyone
who wants to keep a bike on campus,
I would tell them to get a bike that they
wouldn't want to have for themselves,"
Baltz said. "I had two nice bikes, but
apparently they are too much of a tar-
get for people who want to steal them.
Now I have a $75 Wal-Mart bike that
I've had no problems with."
Many bicycle thieves target high-
priced bicycles on campus, and the pro-
fessional thieves can defeat most lock-
ing mechanisms, Baxley said, although
he said he believes locking bicycles is
still effective against theft.
Eric Johnson, co-owner of Chain
Reaction Bicycles, 1630 W University
Ave., said he sees at least a dozen
students a week who claim their bi-
cycles or bicycle parts were stolen on
campus.
Johnson believes that a sturdy bi-
cycle lock can deter a would-be thief.
He recommends all students buy a
U-lock and coil cable to protect their
bicycles.
UPD recommends that students also
register their bicycles. This increases the
chance that the bicycle can be recovered
and returned if stolen.
"There isn't a whole lot we can do
if the owner doesn't register their bike,"
Baxley said. "Chances are they'll never
see [their bicycle] again."

Gas prices pinch


delivery drivers

By JONATHAN HILL
Alligator Contributing Writer

Delivery drivers, many of whom are students
at UF or SFCC, are losing income because they
have to spend more on gas after Hurricane Katrina
severely halted production and delivery of gasoline
in the Gulf of Mexico.
"I had to stop working and basically quit," said
Pierce Parker, a driver for Gatorfood.com. "As far
as compensation, all you could hope for were bet-
ter tips."
Parker is still considering working for


Gatorfood.com




Hurricane
Katrina


.
Delivery companies pay their
drivers a fixed delivery fee. Drivers
are solely responsible for the up-
keep of their vehicles and the cost
of repairs that may occur while
delivering food.
Andrew Howard, another driver


for Gatorfood.com, said he spends approximately
$3 more a day on gas because of higher gas prices
after the storm.
"What's the point in staying with a company
when you're not going to get paid more over time?"
Howard asked.
Delivery drivers aren't the only ones affected
by rising gas prices. Some students now bike to
campus to counter the problem.
Nathan Kemper, a UF mechanical and aerospace
engineering senior, said he rides his bike as much
as possible to avoid using gas. He said it saves him
time and money and alleviates the hassle of trying
to find parking on campus.
"I get places -faster, and I exercise every day,"
Kemper said.


UF upgrades cable TV


RESEARCH

UF robot sinks the competition


By CHERYL CLARKE
Alligator Contributing Writer

On-campus residents now
have almost twice as many options
when they spend the night in.
Cox Communications Inc. and
the UF Department of Housing &
Residence Education upgraded
the Housing CATV System from
40 to 73 channels, reflecting the
demands of students who filled
out TV surveys last Fall.
"I have been lobbying for this
for at least the last 10 years," said
Sharon Blansett, assistant director
of Housing for Marketing, Public
Relations & Research.
The cable renovations began-in
the Spring and completed at the
end of July. New channels include
MTV2, Oxygen, The Golf Channel,
Turner Classic Movies, Cox Sports
Television and Bravo.
Cox also offers additional digital
cable packages that include premi-
um and Pay-Per-View channels.
"I think it was a good decision
to get a cable upgrade," said Ari
van den Berg, UF sophomore and
Rawlings Hall resident. "I got the


HBO and digital cable package
also. I like to watch 'Entourage.'"
The Cox upgrade is installed
automatically in- dorm rooms
whether the resident owns a TV
or not. Housing rent increased this
year due to utility charges,. which
includes the Cox Cable upgrade
that, coupled with. telephone
service, comprises 4.3 percent of
students' rent, Blansett said.
"An increase of $75 each se-
mester' was issued
Student this year," Blansett
Life said. "Renovations
received $25, and
$50 went toward in-
creased operational expenses like
utilities, sewage and cable."
When asked about billing com-
plaints by residents, Blansett said
the department is not given that
information.
"All of the marketing and bill-
ing goes to Cox," she said. "The
students are paying for any addi-
tional packages directly to Cox."

The competition, which took
place Aug. 3-7 at the Space and

greater challenge than expect-
ed for the team of eight.
The teams were required
to complete three tasks: lo-

Assistant dean signs on


Parties agree to ethical campaigns


By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
liewis@alligator.org

Ken Gassiot will have a big job to
take over, but not before he finishes his
last one.
Gassiot has officially agreed to take
over the position vacated by Cyrus
Williams, who served as UF's assistant
dean of students and director of Judicial
Affairs for four and a half years.
"He's a staff member I'm going to
really miss, but we're excited about Ken
starting the job," said Dean of Students
Gene Zdziarski.
Gassiot, who is assistant director
for Student Judicial Programs at Texas
Tech University in Lubbock, will not be
assuming his new position for several
weeks.
"He needs a little bit of time to take
care of personal issues," Zdziarski said.
"We're just pleased to have found him,
because at this time of year that position
is hard to fill."
Although Williams did not leave of-
fice until Aug. 12, a search committee
began the process of selecting a new


Judicial Affairs director when Williams.
turned in his letter of resignation in May,
Zdziarski said. -
Upon his departure Williams' duties
were assigned temporarily to other em-
ployees at the Dean of Students Office.
"Right now Dr. Paige Crandall along
with Jyrece McClendon are handling all
that," Zdziarski said.
Crandall serves as
UF's associate dean
of students, while
.. McClendon is a
& J graduate assistant at
W the office.
"I've appreciated
Zdzlarski having the ability to
dean of students work with Judicial
Affairs in this man-
ner, but I do look forward to having a
full-time director," Crandall said, add-
ing that the role involves performing
crucial tasks such as administering UF's
student disciplinary system and over-
seeing the Student Honor Court.
Zdziarski said he wishes the best
for Williams, who left his job to pur-
sue a doctoral degree in counseling
education.


SLATING, from page 1


"No personal complaints have been
brought up to me yet," he said.
However, last year's election was an
entirely different matter. Maland said there
were instances of coercion and intimidation in
which some students were put in uncomfort-
able circumstances.
A member of the Elections Commission
feared personal harm at one point, he said.
"That's despicable," he said.
Maland said students were not punished
for last year's infractions but that could
change. -
"If someone does something of that sort, I
wouldn't hesitate (to punish them)," he said.
-However, not everyone was pleased with
the slating process. Thursday and Friday, The
Gator Party's slating room was much closer to
the qualifying room, which every participant
is required to enter, than Impact's. On Tuesday
the rooms were somewhat closer.
Impact Party campaign staffer Gareth Kerr
said if he were in Maland's shoes, he would


have allowed equal opportunity for both par-
ties to be close to the qualifying room, which is.
where the candidates make their first impres-
sions about running for Senate.
"Obviously, the closer you are to the quali-
fying room, the more you are seen," he said.
Maland said party representatives picked
the rooms, but in the future he thinks a raffle
could improve the situation.
Roberts said he is hoping one of the main
reasons students chose to slate with Impact
was to change the way the $11 million tuition-
funded Activity & Service Fee budget is spent.
Roberts said one of the last interviews of
the day, political science freshminan Victor Bard,
was right on target with Impact's philosophy.
"It was an amazing interview," Roberts said.
"He was right on track with how we felt."
Economics freshman David Markus, a
member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said he didn't
know the difference between the two parties
but was slating with Gator.
"It's the party affiliated with my fraternity,"
he said.
Finance freshman Brandon Vantuijn said he
was interviewing with Gator to get involved.
"This is what college is.all about," he said.

Minor slips haunt defensive linemen


'M MCDONALD LEADS REVAMPED;
IMPROVED DEFENSIVE LINE.

By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org

Adorned with mischievous grins and
each other's jerseys, Steven Harris and
Marcus Thomas turned the heads of re-
porters after Tuesday's practice.
It's just the kind of trick one can
expect from such fun-loving jokesters,
but when Harris and Thomas picked up
the phone late Saturday night, it was no
prank call. Haunted by blown sacks, the
two coped the best way they knew how,
by waking Coach Urban Meyer with a
midnight telephone confessional.
"I was just telling him we could've
done a whole lot better with the D-line,"
Thomas said. "He can expect a lot more
of us next game."
Explained Harris, "We had a couple
missed assignments."
Following such a turnaround perfor-


mance from a much-maligned defen-
sive front, however, Meyer isn't sure a
few harmless slips necessitate such an
awakening, joking that he'd have to
discuss suitable hours for phone calls
with his team.
Sleep-deprived and all, however,
Meyer couldn't be happier with the at-
titude change that has swept over his
defensive linemen.
"All I've heard since I was hired in
December is 'You've got lazy guys play-
ing defensive line for-you,'" Meyer re-
called. "They're not lazy. I think they're
great young men, and they could be a
special group if they keep going."
Just how special? Defensive end
Jeremy Mincey, a first-week inductee to
Meyer's Champions Club, claims that
UF has the most athletic defensive front
in the country. Allowing Wyoming's
prolific pass-heavy attack 222 yards and
two touchdowns both resulting from
UF special teams breakdowns the
Gators' defense is now ranked No. 7 in
the country. Playing a large role in the

The disease was nearly undetect-

Gators' defensive success, the D-line
sacked Cowboys quarterback Corey
Bramlet twice on Saturday, while forc-
ing countless hurries.
It's somewhat of an early, yet mild,
turnaround for a unit that gained only
13.5 sacks last season.

"All I've heard since I was hired
in December is 'You've got lazy
guys playing defensive line for
you.' They're not lazy."
Urban Meyer
UF football coach'

"That's all we talked about the whole
summer, spring, working on our pass
rush," Mincey said. "Now we have to
work on our run a little more because
they scored on us. But we've worked on
our pass rush a whole lot, and we're tak-
ing a lot more pride in getting sacks."
With an immature group and a
coaching staff in limbo, Mincey said
confidence lacked last season. After
sustaining an off-season makeover,
courtesy of Meyer and his staff, Mincey
claims,. "It's a whole anotherr ball
game."
According to Mincey, the new coach-
ing staff pushed the defensive linemen
in a manner the former regime failed to,
concentrating on strengthening minds
and attitudes rather than just muscles.
"They pushed us mentally," Mincey
said. "It wasn't even the physical battle.
They knew we had talent. It was the
mindset they put us-all in. Instead of
a bunch of boys walking around, now
we all carry ourselves like men. We do
manly things: work hard in the weight
room, go to class. It's just the simple
things that make you a better player."
Overall, Meyer considers the defen-
sive line's transformation in academ-
ics, lifestyle and passion for football
the most drastic and impressive on the
team.
As Mincey explained, there's always
room for improvement. To have a repeat
of Saturday's success when Tennessee
comes to town in less than two weeks,
the Gators must become more consis-
tent.
"[Saturday] shows how great we can
be, but we know we made a lrot of mis-
takes," defensive end Ray McDonald
said. "But when we get those mistakes
eliminated, it's time for teams to watch
out."

Columnist


likes Portis

A after Chris Leak's three-touchdown,
320-yard performance Saturday
against Wyoming, a reporter asked
UF coach Urban Meyer if this proved the
million-dollar question: Can Chris Leak
run this offense? Meyer shot the reporter
down faster than the Gators will score
against Louisiana Tech.
Since then, Meyer has said he will have
a package for true freshman sensation Josh
Portis every week. Portis didn't pass the
ball Saturday, but he ran for 45 yards on
five carries, which was the only thing that
remotely resembled a running game. When
he was out there, you couldn't look away.
"I think everybody ... saw what I saw,"
Meyer said. "That's
an element-the fast
teams win, and he's
a fast guy."
Anyone watching
the game could tell
Portis is faster than
lan Fisher Leak. Even anyone
Extra lannings not watching the
ifisher@alligator.org game could prob-
ably tell you that.
Leak doesn't get that.
When asked if Portis brings anything to the
game that he doesn't Leak responded with
a mind-boggling, "Like?"
Maybe Portis is a little faster, the re-
porter suggested. Leak didn't understand,
asking what the reporter meant.
"We run the same plays out of the
same offense, so the plays that are called
are exactly the same except for instead of
a running back running the ball, he'll run
the ball," Leak said. "We're calling the same
plays, so I really don't see a difference."
To me, Leak was taking a shot at Portis,
implying that he can only run. It's clear that
Leak is scared of Portis taking some of his
playing time.
"If the game is... out of hand you always
want your twos to be ready," Leak said.
Except Portis came in with most of the
fourth quarter left and the Gators up 26-7
-19 points is not exactly out of hand.
Portis had 56 more rushing yards than
Leak on five less carries. Portis is better suit-
ed to the Meyer offense. Meyer obviously
knows this since he recruited Portis, but he
also knows Leak is too good to not play.
While it is by no means a quarterback
controversy, it could become one, especially
by next season.
Sure, Leak had a great game, but just
catching a glimpse of Portis makes me
think that he can do what Meyer wants
better than Leak.

Same distracts players from Katrina


By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligator.org

For a 30-point underdog, a road game
against one of the nation's top 10 teams
ever seemed so comforting.
Less than two weeks ago, Louisiana
ech coach Jack Bicknell considered a date
vith the Gators at the Swamp anything
ut an escape from a miserable reality. For
earns like the Bulldogs, games like these
usually mean two things: a hefty paycheck
ind a double-digit loss.
Now, with players scrambling to find
oved ones in the harrowing aftermath of
-lurricane Katrina, and others mourning
he loss of friends and family, three hours
>n the gridiron seems like a pretty nice
emedy, albeit a temporary one.
"We're excited about playing that
;ame," Bicknell said. "I think it will be a
dice diversion. There are 120 guys [on this
:eam] and the No. 1 thing they wanted to
nake sure of was that [this game is] tele-
uised back here.
"I know those people are looking for-
hvard to coming over, watching the game
nd seeing their sons. I think it'll be a good
version for everyone."


Ruston, located in the northwest corner
of Louisiana, 330 miles from New Orleans,
didn't feel the wrath of Katrina.
But with seven players on Louisiana
"I know those people are look-
ing forward to coming over,
watching the game and seeing
their sons. I think it'll be a good
diversion for everyone."
Jack Bicknell
Louisiana Tech football coach

Tech's roster residing from the now desert-
ed and decaying city of New Orleans, and
many others from neighboring areas, the
last week has been terrifying and surreal.
At one point, 16 players were unsure
of their families' fate. Quarterback Donald
Allen spent days attempting to contact his
father and grandfather. He didn't find out
they were alive until Sunday
"He said, 'Coach, the weight of the
world, I feel like, has been lifted off my
shoulders'," Bicknell said. "I think that's
the way the team is looking at it now."
While most of the stories echo that of
Alien, not every player enjoyed such a


fortunate ending.
For Oren Lewis of Waveland, Miss., the
aftermath was bittersweet. His mother,
missing for days, was spared. But his
uncle, sister-in-law and godchild perished.
Lewis, a third-string nose guard, plans
to play on Saturday.
"It was a very sad situation," Bicknell
said. "Thank goodness his mom was okay.
"A lot of our players have lost every-
thing. A lot of their families are up here. It
really hits home.
Bicknell expects many of the Bulldogs'
family members to remain in Ruston
throughout the season. Initially, the fami-
lies were housed at the Thomas Assembly
Center, but most have moved to campus
dorms.
And while part of the healing process
begins Saturday against the Gators,. the
anguish will remains for months and even
years.
"It's not like it just goes away. It's not
'like it's over," Bicknell said. "It's not over
at all. It continues to go on. The people are
still here and they still need to be taken care
of. There are just so many ramifications to
it, it's just overwhelming unless you take it
step-by-step, day-by-day, and that's what
we're doing."

UF to play in Alamodome


* WHILE HURRICANE KATRINA EVAC-
UEES REMAIN IN SAN ANTONIO, THE
AWAMODOME IS NOT BEING USED AS
A SHELTER. THE GATORS WILL PLAY
THERE THIS WEEKEND.

By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer

in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, there
were. several early indications that San
Antonio's Alamodome would be used as a
shelter for refugees fleeing the Gulf Coast.
Instead the site of last season's national
volleyball championship will still host
three nationally ranked teams as sched-
uled, including the No. 6 Gators.
"We actually had some concern about
that because some initial reports said that
they were going to use the Alamo Dome
[for a shelter]," UF Coach Mary Wise said.
"But as of [Sunday], from what we heard
over the weekend, the matches will be
played in the Alamodome and there hasn't
been a change."
The trip this weekend will put a human
face on the tragedy for the team, as thou-
sands of people have been displaced by
this natural catastrophe.
"I think that we're definitely going to
realize what's going on," Texas native
Amber McCray said. "It's really going to
bring it a lot closer to home, because we're


kind of far from it now. We've been think-
ing about them and we've talked about
them and had a moment of silence and
prayed for them, so we'll definitely be
thinking about them."

Equal contributor
Senior Jane Collymore needed 11
kills in Monday's match against Eastern
Washington to pass Ashley Mullis for
eighth on UF's all-time career kills list, but
finished with just four.
Wise praised Collymore's ability to not
let a shaky offensive night affect how she
performed in other aspects of the game.
"That's what the great players will
do," Wise said. "She didn't let her offense
dictate the rest of her game. She didn't get
as many good looks offensively, but her
serving and her passing, her passing was
outstanding today with some of the digs
she made.
"What Jane has shown is that she's
more than a one-dimensional player."

Engel tops SEC
Senior Rachel Engel has been named
Southeastern Conference Defensive Player
of the Week after collecting 82 digs in the
team's first five matches, an average of 5.47
per game.
Engel is already on pace to break both
her own school dig-per-game record and the
SEC single-season record.

The Gator Party wrote up what Student Body President Joe Goldberg called a "goodfaith agreement" between parties to campaign ethically. The agreement stated, "I shall not use or permit the use of character defamation, libel, slander or scurrilous attacks on any canBy JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@aligator.org A bill allocating almost $50,000 to the laundering of 15,000 free towels at the Southwest Recreation Center passed its first reading in Student Senate'Tuesday The Gator Party campaigned on the issue last Spring with a $25,000 price tag. "The No. 1 thing I hear all the time is, 'Where are those towels?"' Student Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi said. The Gator Party President Laura Gonzalez said students' re-use of one towel for many trips to the gym is a hygiene problem. "It's kind of gross that they keep wiping down the machines with a towel they have not washed," she said. Some senators, however, suggested the money could be spent more wisely. "This is almost $50,000 which could be spent elsewhere, like another vehicle for SNAP or more parking for family housing," said Sen. Brooke Seidman, adding that people could bring their own towels home and wash them. Senate also approved a $12,266,399 budget for the 2006-2007 period, but it needs one more reading to be finalized. To accommodate the budget's growth spurt, the Senate proposed a 95-cent increase to students' Activity & Service Fee. However, the A&S Fee Connittee has yet to confirm that figure. Sen. Jackie Pace, chairwoman of the Senate Budget and Allocations Committee, said the budget's increase is largely due to Florida's new minimum wage and the recent spike in fossil fuel prices, which affect Student Government's operation of facilities such as the Southwest Recreation Center. didate or his or her personal or family life, nor shall I use or permit on my behalf misleading or untrue advertisements.". Both party presidents signed the agreement. "We took the initiative to put the campaign on the right foot," Gator Party spokesman Thomas Philpot said. "We want to agree to those standards from the start." SG Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland said no illegal activity was brought to his attention during slating. SEE SLATING, PAGE 8 SG's subsidization of student tickets at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, passed during Summer, took a $41,400 cut in the budget. Meanwhile, SG's renewed membership in the Florida Student Association meant state lobbying fees rose by $34,400. Because the budget was written before Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland implemented a "secured-site" online voting method for SG elections, there is no reduction in the budget's $49,500 elections line. Online voting is supposed to decrease the cost of elections. "We're going to come in drastically under cost of what we've been budgeted," said Sen. Jared Pace Hernandez, who chaired the Senate Online Voting Committee last Summer. UF's music ensembles were also cut from the budget. Cosimi said they may not meet the standards for fundability laid out in SG statutes. The music department should fund these ensembles, she said. The budget requires one more reading and a signature to go into effect. Senators also voted down a resolution advocating the repeal of a state law prohibiting vendors from selling gasoline below cost, which would allow vendors to sell gasoline cheaper. Sen. John Printy said the resolution could hurt Gainesville's small-business community, as only large firms like Wal-Mart could afford to sell below cost. "The more efficient businesses are going to benefit and profit from this," he said. "More efficient meaning big, huge, corporate." M Junior Marcus Thomas and the rest of UF's defensive line are striving to rebound from an underachieving season last year. With new attitudes and a dominating performance on Saturday, Coach Urban Meyer believes they're well on their way. See story, pg. 18.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,2005 -ALLIGATOR, 3 Celia Tobin / Alligator Katoya King waits backstage before performing with dance company Sabor Latino. SOME 700 ATTENDED WELCOME MIXER FOR HISPANIC STUDENTS. By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Writer dmazzella@alligator.org Chicas and chicos made the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom into a "carnaval" of beads, masks and dance and gave Tuesday night's Hispanic Student Assembly a Latin flavor. Speakers UF President Bernie Machen, Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski and others remarked on that flavor. About 700 participants attended at some point in the night, La Casita Director Leticia Martinez said. After an hour of tabling by about 40 organizations, UF mascots Albert and Alberta got the crowd moving with the orange-and-blue cheer chanted by alumni and students at football games. Interspersed through speeches and door prizes were promotional videos for some of UF's Hispanic organizations and Student Government. The promotion for La Casita featured a student walking through the house explaining or illustrating what happened in each room. When in the kitchen he mentioned the free lunches offered to students at the house across from UF on West University Avenue from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesdays. Cheers met the announcement that Bacilos, a Grammyand Latin Grammywinning trio, would be the On main act for the Hispanic Campus Heritage Month Concert on Sept. 24. Polite applause met the announcement that a second group, Yerba Buena, also will appear at the concert. Yerba Buena has an eclectic blend of hip-hop, Latin and African musical styles 'and performed for the soundtrack of the movie "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" according to a Hispanic Heritage Month flier. Machen mixed with students before the start of the show in his Latin-style white button-down shirt with a small gator on the cuff, a gift from one of the groups. He told the audience that this year's freshman class has about 150 more Hispanic-Latino students -than last year's. I Amalia Alvarez, introduced as the first Latina to graduate from UF with a doctorate degree, recognized winners of the Association of Hispanic Alumni scholarships. The Latin American Club was the only organization for Hispanics and Latinos when she came to UF, she said. Student Body President Joe Goldberg, a staple of the assembly circuit, fondly recalled how much he enjoyed dancing salsa with a Hispanic campus organization. Zdziarski internationalized his welcome to this portion of the student body when he said, "Bienvenidos a UF." Martinez said the event cost about $1,400 and the Dean of Students Office contributed about $1,200 of that amount. The Association of Hispanic Alumni paid for the rest.

Instead, she received a round of applause and a big surprise when Senior Airman Jeffrey Solis dropped by the College of Health and Human Performance to thank her for her support. Solis presented the interim dean with an American flag signed by himself and the 12 other members of his unit sponsored by the college during their six months in Iraq. "That's really special," Vames said, taking the flag and wiping tears from her eyes. "Thank you." Every month, the college faculty and staff filled two to three boxes with snacks, playing cards, books, games and calling cards to send to the troops in Iraq. "It's hard to find anything out in the middle of the desert, so everything helped," Solis said. "Especially the lip balm and sunscreen." The project was organized by Solis' mother, Janice Douglas, a secretary in the dean's office. "Janice mentioned one day that she wanted to do it, and everyone was really good about pitching in," said Michele Dye, the director of communications for the college. "The whole dean's office got involved." Solis, 21, said the care packages were extremely helpful and well appreciated, and it made him feel good to know that people back home were still thinking about him. Student Douglas sent an Lift American flag to her son in the most recent package, and asked him and the other members of his unit in the Air Force Security Forces to sign it as a way to thank Vames for the college's support. Varnes said she plans to frame the flag and hang it up in the office conference room for everyone to see. "We'll have to put it up on the' wall and replace that ugly old picture there," Varnes joked, referring to an old UF campus photograph. Solis said although he hopes to be home for more than six months, that may not end up being the case. "It worked out all right though," he said. "At least I made it back in time for football season."

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 5 Evnt urges opposition to Roberts' Court nomination By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Writer riel@alligator.org It was standing room only in the Civic Media Center on Tuesday night for a meeting to oppose the nomination of John Roberts for Supreme Court chief justice. The event informed the audience of about 30 as to why Roberts, a conservative, should not be appointed to the Supreme Court. "It's important for the president to appoint, and the Senate to confirm, judges who Around are fair -who follow the law and who aren't known in their careers for being extremely right-winged," National Lawyers Guild member Shelbi Day said. "The judiciary branch is supposed to be a neutral third party." Andrea Costello, president of the Gainesville National Lawyers Guild chapter, pointed out instances when Roberts spoke against affirmative action, women's rights, the Cornmerce Clause of the Constitution, separation of church and state, and the Geneva Convention. She based these allegations on reports from the Alliance for Justice, the NAACP Education Fund, the People for the American Way and the National Organization for Women. "This is not a lawyer who favors the use of federal civil rights laws as a way to protect the majority of people in the United States," she said. However, President Bush said in his nomination speech that Roberts possesses experience, wisdom, fairness and civility and has devoted his career to the cause of justice. To counter Bush's confidence Costello cited a case in Roberts' private practice when he represented the Toyota corporation. "He successfully advocated that Toyota didn't have to provide accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act for a woman who developed carpal tunnel on the job," Costello said. A prisoners' rights lawyer in attendance agreed that Roberts' record showed a lack of protection for minorities. "It seems like he takes the side of the powerful most often, and that's troubling," said National Lawyers Guild member Cassandra Capobianco. Speakers at the event hoped students and residents would familiarize themselves with Roberts' record and take action by contacting senators on the Senate Judiciary Connittee. "It's our court, and we really need to be talking about how to get it back," Costello said. rim Casey/ Alligator Statt Attorney Andrea Costello speaks about her opposition to John Roberts becoming chief justice of the Supreme Court, citing cases he has been involved with, on Tuesday at the Civic Media Center. By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer^ kcraig@alligator.org UF freshman Steven Ross decided to join a fraternity -for the girls, obviously, he said -and to make new friends. Ross said he visited several fraternity houses last week during the Interfraternity Council's recruitment, but nothing fit him better than Sigma Phi Epsilon. He was one of nearly 400 UF students who accepted bids from IFC's 23 fraternities Friday, signaling the beginning of their 10-week-long initiation. Along with bringing in new members throughout recruitment week, IFC also handed out 10 scholarships for $500 each to fraternity hopefuls who best embodies the organization's values. The IFC chose the scholarship winners from its recruitment applications. The -students were ranked in Greek areas such as GPA, SAT and ACT Lif(a scores, leadership positions and community-service work. IFC Vice President of Membership Chris Bucciarelli said the areas focus on the four pillars of IFC: leadership, scholarship, comunity and brotherhood. "We want to recruit guys that are excelling in these areas," he said. Bucciarelli added that next year all students will be required to apply. online to go through the recruitment process. "This is so we can really gauge how many people are going through recruitment and how many people are accepting bids."

6, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,2005 Editorial One nation While government flubs, Americans take up slack ast week the Editorial Board weighed in on the atrocities L plaguing New Orleans and its outlying areas. Indeed, the hurricane seemed to bring out the worst in people. Desperation caused looting and violence, while the local and federal governments fumbled with how to clean up the fatal mess. But today we want to focus on all the non-bureaucratic good that has emerged since the tragedy. For all the shortcomings of our political leaders, individuals have taken up the slack with unprecedented vigor. In classrooms all across campus, professors urged students to donate to the American Red Cross. And thousands of students, the biggest cheapskates of all time, actually took that advice and placed their almost nonexistent money into the hands of volunteers. Local and campus organizations sat in the heat all day to collect donations. Parents and students alike trudged out to the heart of the devastation to help in the traumatic efforts. Businesses pitched in services, money and supplies. Most relevantly many universities quickly came to the aid of the area's devastated colleges. All in all, Katrina affected at least 29 universities, 11 of which are in New Orleans. UF is taking in some of these students, charging them instate tuition, a financial strain that is both significant and surprisingly sympathetic. About $10,000 lie's between in-state and out-of-state tuition, and UF is already overenrolled. Other schools have taken it further; since many students have lost the thread to their finances, some colleges are offering the stranded students free tuition. FIU, along with seven other colleges, has offered some students free or severely discounted prices. So why is the entire country so devastated and moved by this disaster? Other parts of the world have experienced such catastrophes, most notably the 2004 tsunami. While we watch news of those faraway disasters with interest, it's been awhile since our country has been so genuinely empathic for the victims of such devastation. When the tsunami hit select groups asked for donations, but the same feeling just wasn't there. We saw it as a travesty far from home; it was a cause -we could pick up and drop a couple months later. We could talk about it with reserve and logic; now, emotions run high with every utterance of New Orleans. This response is different. We don't just watch the news with the perverted eye we reserve for car wrecks; we watch it with mounting anger and depression. Every new development sparks an urge to help from almost everyone. It's like Sept. 11, 2001 -it's on our own soil. It's not removed; it's in our face. These could be our families. In fact many Floridians have friends who are residents of the area. So we're selfish; we only care about our own. That's just human nature. But maybe we can remember in the future the shock and horror we felt at something so close to home. In Asia families are still displaced and poverty-stricken but are only remembered at such times as these. President Bush and New Orleans officials failed in evacuating the city properly, resulting in the poorest factions being left behind. Their incompetence is abhorrent. This hurricane's devastation has revealed the racial divide of this country. The poorest residents, and thus the ones left to die, are predominantly black. But if our government isn't up to the task, at least American citizens have shown their competence at helping their fellow man, no matter his socioeconomic status. the independent florida Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR The Alligator encourages comments frorm readers Letters to the editor should not exceed 150 words (about one ltte-sedpage).

Gues column ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions if w -WORST Price gouging part of market economy T-rofessor Steven Slutsky wore a wry smile in my microeconomics class last Monday. "The response will be inevitable," he mused., Inevitable indeed -no sooner had Hurricane Katrina finished ravaging the Louisiana coastline than reports of price gouging started floating out of the inundated area. Gasoline prices spiked well above $3 a gallon in the storm's wake. Hotel managers overcharged for rooms. Generators and canned goods sold for double the usual. The public cried foul. President Bush and Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti Jr. vowed revenge. But are the so-called gougers really the scheming, unscrupulous highwaymen that politicians and popular opinion often portray them to be? Consider the effects of their behavior. Following a disaster like Hurricane Katrina, stores suddenly find themselves short on goods. Spurred to raise Prices and maximize profit in the face of dwindling supply and overwhelming demand, business owners provoke an innate conservational response in buyers, ensuring that meager supplies are used only in the direst situations. Iligher prices therefore guarantee scarce goods go to their highest-valued purpose. The shop owners benefit, of course, but it is their selfinterest alone that promotes the outcome most favorable to society. Higher prices also foster the production and importation of more of the goods in shortest supply. The prices, said economist Walter Williams, are "a signal saying that there are unmet human wants, leading people to strive to meet those wants." Eventually, higher prices become self-correcting: As goods flow in, prices return to their pre-emergency levels. Sure, the gougers themselves are only trying to make a buck, but in doing so they bring in the supplies and rebuild the infrastructure that is needed after a disaster. Tom Durrenberger Speaking Out It can be a tough pill to swallow, and my heart goes out to all the victims of Katrina, but this idea is the basis for our entire market economy The most common alternatives are not nearly as constructive. Price controls invariably lead to shortages. Quotas encourage the unnecessary consumption of goods up to the quota amount while keeping those who truly need more from obtaining it. So why do so many politicians still fight the natural response of vendors to raise prices during an emergency? The answer is simple: Their constituents only see the most noticeable effects of higher prices. In the aftermath of a natural disaster, profiteering businessmen are easier targets of public indignation than government-mandated shortages. Of course the most frequent argument against gougers isn't an economic one but that higher prices simply aren't fair. But why not? In a marketplace, every exchange is voluntary. Patrons obviously value their hotel stays at more than the $200-a-night rate. With both buyers and sellers necessarily agreeing to every transaction, a gouging environment is totally indistinguishable from-the everyday market. Because there is no qualitative, difference between gouging and normal increases in price, legislators have had to develop an equally vague definition. Usually, theirs is based on the concept of sellers taking "unfair advantage" of buyers, whatever that means. The bottom line is this: Even $5-a-gallon gasoline is preferable to a fuel shortage. But as long as they remain politically expedient, price controls and anti-gouging laws will linger in public policy instead of being relegated to the ideological junk heap, where they belong. Ton Durrenberger is an economics sophomore. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.

Guest column Students' free speech rights threatened It's one of those ideals almost synonymous with being American: freedom of speech. Especially in the world of higher education, freedom to vocalize dissent either in or out of the classroom is practically inherent to the learning process. Despite these ideals, a recent review by a national watchdog group claims that UF restricts students' right to free speech. In fact it gave UF the lowest rating possible on its scale. Before my banner-waving allies start marching to UF President Bernie Machen's doorstep, let's get real. The Formdation for Individual Rights in Education was founded to help sustain students' rights at what its founders believed were an increasing number of partisan universities. Since then, the foundation has brought several universities to court, usually after a student complained that his or her rights were violated. They've won a number of cases. So what's so wrong with UF? It got a "red light" rating, meaning at least one of its policies "both clearly and substantially restricts freedom of speech." The foundation further defines this as a policy that "rmambiguously Amy Eisinger infringes" on proSpeaking Out tected expression and has restrictions applicable to several types of campus expression. The foundation's Web site points to various sections of UF's Student Rights and Responsibilities and to descriptions of what qualifies as sexual harassment. I read each policy A main issue the foundation has with Student Rights and Responsibilities falls on one sentence: "Organizations or individuals that adversely upset the delicate balance of communal living will be subject to disciplinary action." Slightly less than vague? Definitely. But whether or not the-group will file suit against UF is open to question -they've done it before to other universities in similar situations. Other than this one question remains: As a student at UF, have I felt my freedoms restricted? Moreover, if UF is brought to court over a few words in its policies, will there be any noticeable changes? I'd say probably not. In cases like this generally the only people who come out winning are the lawyers. What this review does mean is that students need to be more aware of the way in which the university can restrict personal liberties. Will we see deans bolting across Turlington Plaza to shut down groups? Maybe not, but blatant displays of censorslip are not the only ways in which the administration can limit quietly organizations or people on campus. What the administration needs to do is rewrite both policies before they are used against it. Universities should harbor free thought, without ever making students feel inhibited for expressing a personal belief. The foundation's review should be a wake up call and a reminder that we as students have an obligation to scrutinize constantly the words and actions of our school and faculty. Over the last few years, and under laws like the Patriot Act, we must realize that rights we once took for granted can be called into question. And though some might find them annoying, I loathe the thought of a Turlington Plaza void of leaflet-wielding campaigners. Amy Eisinger is an english major. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Letter to the Editor Katrina victims deserve attention, help I am not black. Nor do I take responsibility for speaking on behalf of the people ravaged by the monster Hurricane Katrina. I am, however, outraged. I'm outraged at President Bush, the media and, quite frankly, the scary radicals who defend the president at all costs. The only story in Tuesday's paper about the political mess of the past two weeks was a column by Matthew Melone, who claimed that liberals are politicizing the tragedy. All right, Matt. Even if we are, and I would maintain we are not, we only learned how to do it from the amazing way 3,000 American lives were politicized after Sept. 11, 2001, by the Bush administration. Do you think Saddam Hussein had something to do with this? Or does Mother Nature just hate our freedom too? Melone also said liberals are promoting an agenda. If trying to deliver food to poor, suffering people and pointing out that they are society's forgotten is wrong, then I am very pleased to be wrong. Stephanie Ruby 3JM Souvenir Edition!

UPD Lt. Darren Baxley said. "New students either don't know how to lock their bike properly or don't even lock them at all, thus leading to the increase in bike thefts in the Fall." Scott Baltz, a UF sophomore, has had two $500 bicycles stolen on campus in the past year "If I were to give advice to anyone who wants to keep a bike on campus, I would tell them to get a bike that they wouldn't want to have for themselves .>1 Baltz said. "I had two nice bikes, but apparently they are too much of a tar get for people who want to steal them. Now I have a $75 Wal-Mart bike that I've had no problems with." Many bicycle thieves target high priced bicycles on campus, and the professional thieves can defeat most lock ing mechanisms, Baxley said, although he said he believes locking bicycles is still effective against theft. Eric Johnson, co-owner of Chai Reaction Bicycles, 1630 W University Ave., said he sees at least a dozen students a week Who claim their bi cycles or bicycle parts were stolen on i campus. '4 Johnson believes that a sturdy bi cycle lock can deter a would-be thief He recommends all students buy a U-lock and coil cable to protect their bicycles. UPD recommends that students also register their bicycles. This increases the chance that the bicycle can be recovered 'm-Lan and returned if stolen. Luanne Deitz/ Allig "There isn't a whole lot we can do Officer Darren Sanders assists student Joshua Nguyen with registering if the owner doesn't register their bike," bike for University Police Department records in case of theft. Baxley said. "Chances are they'll never see [their bicycle] again." By CHERYL CLARKE Alligator Contributing Writer On-campus residents now have almost twice as many options when they spend the night in. Cox Communications Inc. and the UF Department of Housing & Residence Education upgraded the Housing CATV System from 40 to 73 channels, reflecting the demands of students who filled out TV surveys last Fall. "I have been lobbying for this for at least the last 10 years," said Sharon Blansett, assistant director of Housing for Marketing, Public Relations & Research. The cable renovations began in the Spring and completed at the end of July. New channels include MTV2, Oxygen, The Golf Channel, Turner Classic Movies, Cox Sports Television and Bravo. Cox also offers additional digital cable packages that include premium and Pay-Per-View channels. "I think it was a good decision to get a cable upgrade," said Ai van den Berg, UF sophomore and Rawlings Hall resident. "I got the HBO and digital cable package also. I like to watch 'Entourage."' The Cox upgrade is installed automatically in dorm rooms whether the resident owns a TV or not. Housing rent increased this year due to utility charges,. which includes the Cox Cable upgrade that, coupled with telephone service, comprises 4.3 percent of students' rent, Blansett said. "An increase of $75 each semester was issued Student this year," Blansett Life said. "Renovations received $25, and $50 went toward increased operational expenses like utilities, sewage and cable." When asked about billing complaints by residents, Blansett said the department is not given that information. "All of the marketing and billing goes to Cox," she said. "The students are paying for any additional packages directly to Cox." For more information about the Cox Cable upgrade, visit the kiosk at Broward Hall or the Web site at www.cox.com/Gainesville~cala/ UP RESEARCH UF robot sinks the cormpetition By MELISSA JACOBS Alligator Contributing Writer UF electrical and computer engineering students made waves at the annual Underwater Vehicle Competition held last month, snagging first-place with their robot, the "SubjuGator." The competition, whichtook place Aug. 3-7 at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center near San Diego, presented a greater challenge than expected for the team of eight. The teams were required to complete three tasks: locate a light beacon, find and mark a break in a pipeline, and surface over an acoustic "pinger," said James Greco, a first-year doctoral student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. "This year we decided to go with a completely new platform, one that could be as small and mobile as possible," said Greco, the team's leader. He added that the sub, which weighed 140 pounds two years ago, now weighs in at a mere 30 pounds. SubjuGator's design and inn nology oversha marines construct from .20 other around the worl has been involve petition since itsC years ago, but ti overall victory. "This year w to go with a c new platform Could be ass mobile as p "Autonomous like SubjuGator, humans in dan ronments," Grec NASA's MarsF example., The robot in the Machine Laboratory overI two semesters. While many had an unli lightweight ply of money to fund their ovative techsubmarines, creators of the dowed subSubjuGator worked on a tight :ted by teams budget, with major donations universities from Harris Corporation and .d. UF's team Lodckheed Martin. d in the com."Money isn't always the creation eight answer. A little ingenuity and his is the first some thinking outside the box is all it takes," said faculty adviser Eric Schwartz, who has e decided been greatly involved with the ompletely project for the past five years. "We won this competition be, one that cause we had the most robust small and system by far. Our robot is possible representative of Gator spirit in general -in all sorts of James Greco weather, it all sticks together." team leader The robot, which has been called the SubjuGator for the past eight years, dominated robots, its competition, with the seccan replace ond-place design weighing an gerous enviadditional 40 pounds. o said, citing "We had a brand-new team Rover as an and submarine.

"I would like to see our other teams team-continue down the path mited supwe started on." I his Gas prices pinch delivery drivers By JONATHAN HILL Alligator Contributing Writer Delivery drivers, many of whom are students at UF or SFCC, are losing income because they have to spend more on gas after Hurricane Katrina severly halted production and delivery of gasoline in the Gulf of Mexico. "I had to stop working and basically quit," said Pierce Parker, a driver for Gatorfood.com. "As far as compensation, all you could hope for were better tips." Parker is still considering working for Gatorfood.com. Delivery companies pay their drivers a fixed delivery fee. Drivers are solely responsible for the upkeep of their vehicles and the cost Hurricane of repairs that may occur while Katfina delivering food. Andrew Howard, another driver for Gatorfood.com, said he spends approximately $3 more a day on gas because of higher gas prices after the storm. "What's the point in staying with a company when you're not going to get paid more over time?" Howard asked. Delivery drivers aren't the only ones affected by rising gas prices. Some students now bike to campus to counter the problem. Nathan Kemper, a UF mechanical and aerospace engineering senior, said he rides his bike as much as possible to avoid using gas. He said it saves him time and money and alleviates the hassle of trying to find parking on campus. "I get places -faster, and I exercise every day," Kemper said. UF upgrades cable TV

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,2005 N ALLIGATOR, 9 ASSISTan't dean agn on By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer Ilewis@alligator.org Ken Gassiot will have a big job to take over, but not before he firtishes his last one. Gassiot has officially agreed to take over the position vacated by Cyrus Williams, who served as UF's assistant dean of students and director of Judicial Affairs for four and a half years. "He's a staff member I'm going to really miss, but we're excited about Ken starting the job," said Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski. Gassiot, who is assistant director for Student Judicial Programs at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, will not be assuming his new position for several weeks. "He needs a little bit of time to take care of personal issues," Zdziarski said. "We're just pleased to have found him, because at this time of year that position is hard to fill." Although Williams did not leave office until Aug. 12, a search committee began the process of selecting a new Judicial Affairs director when Williams. turned in his letter of resignation in May, Zdziarski said. Upon his departure Williams' duties were assigned temporarily to other employees at the Dean of Students Office. "Right now Dr. Paige Crandall along with Jyrece McClendon are handling all that," Zdziarski said. Crandall serves as UF's associate dean of students, while McClendon is a graduate assistant at the office. "I've appreciated Zdziarski having the ability to dean of students work with Judicial Affairs in this manner, but I do look forward to having a full-time director," Crandall said, adding that the role involves performing crucial tasks such as administering UF's student disciplinary system and overseeing the Student Honor Court. Zdziarnki said he wishes the best for Williams, who left his job to pursue a doctoral degree in counseling education. Parties agree to ethical campaigns S TING, from page 1 "No personal complaints have been brought up to me yet," he said. However, last year's election was an entirely different matter. Maland said there were instances of coercion and intimidation in which some students were put in uncomfortable circumstances. A member of the Elections Commission feared personal harm at one point, he said. "That's despicable," he said. Maland said students were not punished for last year's infractions -but that could change. "If someone does something of that sort, I wouldn't hesitate (to punish them)," he said. -However, not everyone was pleased with the slating process. Thursday and Friday, The Gator Party's slating room was much closer to the qualifying room, which every participant is required to enter, than Impact's. On Tuesday the rooms were somewhat closer. Impact Party campaign staffer Gareth Kerr said if he were in Maland's shoes, he would have allowed equal opportunity for both parties to be close to the qualifying room, which is. where the candidates make their first impressions about running for Senate. "Obviously, the closer you are to the qualifying room, the more you are seen," he said. Maland said party representatives picked the rooms, but in the future he thinks a raffle could improve the situation. Roberts said he is hoping one of the main reasons students chose to slate with Impact was to change the way the $11 million tuitionfunded Activity & Service Fee budget is spent. Roberts said one of the last interviews of the day, political science freshman Victor Bard, was right on target with Impact's philosophy. "It was an amazing interview," Roberts said. "He was right on track with how we felt." Economics freshman David Markus, a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said he didn't know the difference between the two parties but was slating with Gator. "It's the party affiliated with my fraternity," he said. Finance freshman Brandon Vantuijn said he was interviewing with Gator to get involved. "This is what college is-all about," he said.

W WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org M MCDONALD LEADS REVAMPED, IMPROVED DEFENSIVE LINE. By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@aligator.org Adorned with mischievous grins and each other's jerseys, Steven Harris and Marcus Thomas turned the heads of reporters after Tuesday's practice. It's just the kind of trick one can expect from such fun-loving jokesters, but when Harris and Thomas picked up the phone late Saturday night, it was no prank call. Haunted by blown sacks, the two coped the best way they knew how, by waking Coach Urban Meyer with a midnight telephone confessional. "I was just telling him we could've done a whole lot better with the D-line," Thomas said. "He can expect a lot more of us next game." Explained Harris, "We had a couple missed assignments." Following such a turnaround performance from a much-maligned defensive front, however, Meyer isn't sure a few harmless slips necessitate such an awakening, joking that he'd have to discuss suitable hours for phone calls with his team. Sleep-deprived and all, however, Meyer couldn't be happier with the attitude change that has swept over his defensive linemen. "All I've heard since I was hired in December is 'You've got lazy guys playing defensive line for you,"' Meyer recalled. "They're not lazy. I think they're great young men, and they could be a special group if they keep going." Just how special? Defensive end Jeremy Mincey, a first-week inductee to Meyer's Champions Club, claims that UF has the most athletic defensive front in the country. Allowing Wyoming's prolific pass-heavy attack 222 yards and two touchdowns -both resulting from UF special teams breakdowns -the Gators' defense is now ranked No. 7 in the country. Playing a large role in the Junior Marcus Thomas and the rest of UF's defensive bound from an underachieving season last year. Andy Aplcella / Alligator line are striving to reGators' defensive success, the D-line sacked Cowboys quarterback Corey Bramlet twice on Saturday, while forcing countless hurries. It's somewhat of an early, yet mild, turnaround for a unit that gained only 13.5 sacks last season. "All I've heard since I was hired in December is 'You've got lazy guys playing defensive line for you.' They're not lazy." Urban Meyer UF football coach "That's all we talked about the whole summer, spring, working on our pass rush," Mincey said. "Now we have to work on our run a little more because they scored on us. But we've worked on our pass rush a whole lot, and we're taking a lot more pride in getting sacks." With an immature group and a coaching staff in limbo, Mincey said confidence lacked last season. After sustaining an off-season makeover, courtesy of Meyer and his staff, Mincey claims,"It's a whole netherr ball game." According to Mincey, the new coaching staff pushed the defensive linemen in a manner the former regime failed to, concentrating on strengthening minds and attitudes rather than just muscles. "They pushed us mentally," Mincey said. "It wasn't even the physical battle. They knew we had talent. It was the mindset they put us all in. Instead of a bunch of boys walking around, now we all carry ourselves like men. We do manly things: work hard in the weight room, go to class. It's just the simple things that make you a better player." Overall, Meyer considers the defensive line's transformation in academics, lifestyle and passion for football the most drastic and impressive on the team. As Mincey explained, there's always room for improvement. To have a repeat of Saturday's success when Tennessee comes to town in less than two weeks, the Gators must become more consistent. "[Saturday] shows how great we can be, but we know we made a lot of mistakes," defensive end Ray McDonald said. "But when we get those mistakes eliminated, it's time for teams to watch out."

Meyer shot the reporter down faster than the Gators will score against Louisiana Tech. Since then, Meyer has said he will have a package for true freshman sensation Josh Portis every week. Portis didn't pass the ball Saturday, but he ran for 45 yards on five carries, which was the only thing that remotely resembled a running game. When he was out there, you couldn't look away. "I think everybody .saw what I saw," Meyer said. "That's an element-the fast teams win, and he's a fast guy." Anyone watching the ga could tell Portis is faster than Ian Fisher Leak. Even anyone Extra lannings not watching the ifisher@aligator.org game could probably tell you that. Leak doesn't get that. When asked if Portis brings anything to the game that he doesn't Leak responded with a mind-boggling, "Like?" Maybe Portia is a little faster, the reporter suggested. Leak didn't understand, asking what the reporter meant "We run the same plays out of the same offense, so the plays that are called are exactly the same except for instead of a running back running the ball, he'll run the ball," Leak said. "We're calling the same plays, so Ireally don't see a difference." To me, Leak was taking a shot at Portis, implying that he can only run. It's clear that Leak is scared of Portis taking some of his playing time. "if the game is .out of hand you always want your twos to be ready," Leak said. Except Portis came in with most of the fourth quarter left and the Gators up 26-7 -19 points is not exactly out of hand. Portis had 56 more rushing yards than Leak on five less carries. Portis is better suited to the Meyer offense. Meyer obviously knows this since he recruited Portis, but he also knows Leak is too good to not play. While it is by no means a quarterback controversy, it could become one, especially by next season. Sure, Leak had a great game, but just catching a glimpse of Portis makes me think that he can do what Meyer wants better than Leak.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2005 MAL LIGATO 1 9 Liare distracts players from K1atrina M2 By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramson@alligator.org For a 30-point underdog, a road game gainst one of the nation's top 10 teams ever seemed so comforting. Less than two weeks ago, Louisiana ech coach Jack Bicknell considered a date vith the Gators at the Swamp anything ut an escape from a miserable reality. For eams like the Bulldogs, games like these usually mean two things: a hefty paycheck ind a double-digit loss. Now, with players scrambling to find oved ones in the harrowing aftermath of hurricane Katrina, and others mourning he loss of friends and family, three hours n the gridiron seems like a pretty nice emedy, albeit a temporary one. "We're excited about playing that lame," Bicknell said. "I think it will be a ice diversion. There are 120 guys [on this eam] and the No. 1 thing they wanted to nake sure of was that [this game is] teleAised back here. "I know those people are looking for,vard to coning over, watching the game nd seeing their sons. I think it'll be a good iversion for everyone." Ruston, located in the northwest corner of Louisiana, 330 miles from New Orleans, didn't feel the wrath of Katrina. But with seven players on Louisiana I know those people are looking forward to coming over, watching the game and seeing their sons. I think it'll be a good diversion for everyone." Jack Bicknell Louisiana Tech football coach Tech's roster residing from the now deserted and decaying city of New Orleans, and many others from neighboring areas, the last week has been terrifying and surreal. At one point, 16 players were unsure of their families' fate. Quarterback Donald Allen spent days attempting to contact his father and grandfather. He didn't find out they were alive until Sunday. "He said, 'Coach, the weight of the world, I feel like, has been lifted off my shoulders'," Bicknell said. I think that's the way the te is lookingat it now." While most of the stories echo that of Alien, not every player enjoyed such a fortunate ending. For Oren Lewis of Waveland, Miss., the aftermath was bittersweet. His mother, missing for days, was spared. But his uncle, sister-in-law and godchild perished. Lewis, a third-string nose guard, plans to play on Saturday "It was a very sad situation," Bicknell said. "Thank goodness his mom was okay. "A lot of our players have lost everything. A lot of their families are up here. It really hits home. Bicknell expects many of the Bulldogs' family members to remain in Ruston throughout the season. Initially, the familices were housed at the Thomas Assembly Center, but most have moved to campus dorms. And while part of the healing process begins Saturday against the Gators, the anguish will remains for months and even years. "It's not like it just goes away It's not like it's over," Bickriell said. "It's not over at all. It continues to go on. The people are still here and they still need to be taken care of. There are just so many ramifications to it, it's just overwhelming unless you take it step-by-step, day-by-day, and that's what we're doing." lit. 6lnnk 21a Deadline is previous Thursday.

20. ALLIGATOR 0 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2005 E WHILE HURRICANE KATRINA EVACUEES REMAIN IN SAN ANTONIO, THE AkAMODOME IS NOT BEING USED AS A SHELTER. THE GATORS WILL PLAY THERE THIS WEEKEND. By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer ,4" the wake of Hurricane Katrina, there were, several early indications that San Antonio's Alamodome would be used as a shelter for refugees fleeing the Gulf Coast. Instead the site of last season's national volleyball championship will still host three nationally ranked teams as scheduled, including the No. 6 Gators. "We actually had some concern about that because some initial reports said that they were going to use the Alamo Dome [for a shelter]," UF Coach Mary Wise said. "But as of [Sunday], from what we heard over the weekend, the matches will be played in the Alamodome and there hasn't been a change." The trip this weekend will put a human face on the tragedy for the team, as thousands of people have been displaced by this natural catastrophe. "I think that we're definitely going to realize what's going on," Texas native Amber McCray said. "It's really going to bring it a lot closer to home, because we're kind of far from it now. We've been thinking about them and we've talked about them and had a moment of silence and prayed for them, so we'll definitely be thinking about them." Equal contributor Senior Jane Collymore needed 11 kills in Monday's match against Eastern Washington to pass Ashley Mullis for eighth on UF's all-time career kills list, but finished with just four. Wise praised Collymore's ability to not let a shaky offensive night affect how she performed in other aspects of the game. "That's what the great players will do," Wise said. "She didn't let her offense dictate tha rest of her game. She didn't get as many good looks offensively, but her serving and her passing, her passing was outstanding today with some of the digs she made. "What Jane has shown is that she's more than a one-dimensional player." Engel tops SEC Senior Rachel Engel has been named Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Week after collecting 82 digs in the team's first five matches, an average of 5.47 per game. Engel is already on pace to break both her own school dig-per-game record and the SEC single-season record. Luanne Dietz/ Alligator Th [I.
