STUDENT GOVERNMENT
$1.5M may go
to Union work
By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org
A $1.5 million state allocation
to renovate UF's dilapidated
Bandshell venue likely will be
diverted to Reitz Union upkeep.
"If the Bandshell doesn't
get renovated, it probably
never will be, and it's going
to just end up being a pile of
rubble," Student Government
Productions Chairman Joey
Van de Bogart said.
Due to ."extreme termite
damage," the venue has not
been fit to hold concerts since
last Spring, though it has been
deteriorating for a couple of
years, he said.
Van de Bogart said the
Bandshell, located on Flavet
Field near Hume Hall, is a good
venue because of its free, almost
limitless admission and open
atmosphere.
"Historically, we would put on
almost all of our shows out there
because it was free," he said.
Student Body President Joe
Goldberg said this is not the
end of the Bandshell.
"It's definitely going to be
renovated," he said. "It's just
a matter of when the money
comes in."
The $1.5 million was part
of a tuition-funded Capital
Investment Trust Fund that
the state disburses to public
universities every three to five
years.'
A committee of students
and administrators prioritized
the Bandshell, but the re-allo-
cation will circumvent student
input and go straight to the
Board of Trustees, UF's highest
governing body. The board will
vote on the issue at its Friday
meeting.
The bulk of the money will
go to refurbishing the Rion
Ballroom in the Reitz Union,
Goldberg said.
Reitz Union Director Mike
Mironack said the ballroom
could use new chairs, better
decor and resurfaced floors.
"When the Grand (Ballroom)
is not available, they express
their disappointment because
the Rion is considered the 'old
ballroom,'" Mironack said.
He-said the union's most im-
mediate needs, however, are new
sewer lines and elevator pistons,
which would
cost about
$200,000. One
of four sewer
lines disin-
tegrated last
year. Mironack
said if all four
fail, the Reitz
student body Union Food
president Court will
shut down.
Goldberg suggested that an-
other portion of the Bandshell
allocation- go to the Student
Activities Center on the third
floor of the Reitz Union.
"We have student organiza-
tions that are in line to get of-
fice space, and we don't have
the facilities to provide that to
them," Goldberg said.
However, of the 18 organi-
zations that have office space
in the center, non-UF group
Florida Blue Key and the Office
of Sorority and Fraternity
Affairs occupy 63.3 percent of
that space. Eight other groups
work out of cubicles.
Center Director Chris
Cupoli said equal distribution
of space is not a priority for the
committee that allocates it.
"I don't know that 'evenly'
is what we need," Cupoli said.
"One of the things they consider

John Canzio rides his scooter home after class. With gas prices rising, scooters are increasing in
popularity among students.
Gas hike ups scooter sales
By KARl M. TARR
Alligator Contributing Writer
High gas prices may be driving students to find
alternative means of transportation as scooter sales
swell and riders crowd city buses. ,
Streit's Motorsports, a Gainesville dealership,
saw a jump in beginning-of-semester sales com-
pared to last year. While scooter sales during the first
week of school made up about 15 percent of its total
revenue last year, this semester they made up almost
30 percent.
"Gas prices are definitely a concern with cus-
tomers who buy scooters," said Frank Curtis, sales
manager at Streit's. "I think fuel prices have not only
sparked an interest in new riders, but it has rekindled
the desire of people who have ridden before."
Solano Cycle, a scooter dealership located on
Southwest 34th Street, has seen a 50-percent increase
in sales compared to the same time period last year,
store Manager Steve Edwards said.
Some dealerships that have seen roughly the
same sales as last year are noticing a trend in the
types of customers who buy scooters.
"Last year 100 percent of our business came
from students, and this year about 30 or 40 percent
came from people just tired of spending money get-
ting to work," said Justin Jackrel, partner at New
Scooters 4 Less.
Students who do not own scooters have the option
of using the Regional Transit System to combat high
gas prices, since bus fare is included as part of UF tu-
ition costs and free with a Gator 1 Card.
Student But this alternative to higher fuel
Life prices has the potential to increase
future costs of riding the bus. On the
first day of classes this semester, 53,844
riders used the bus system, an increase of 462 pas-
sengers over last year's first day of school, RTS
spokeswoman Theresa Harrison said.
Whether this increase is the effect of an increase in
the number of students enrolled or higher gas prices
is unknown.
RTS, which uses 4,000 gallons of diesel fuel per
day, has no plans to increase costs to riders in the im-
mediate future.
"We are identifying alternative vendors, and we
are hopeful that we will have the necessary fuel to
provide the level of service that RTS has been provid-
ing," Harrison said.

Fest welcomes, schools students in Gator spirit
By CASSIDY MILLS
Alligator Contributing Writer
New UF students got lessons
in school spirit and some comic
relief Wednesday night as the
university brought a college-hu-
mor comedian to perform at the
fourth annual Gatorfest pep rally.'
The Dean of Students Office
and Student Government spon-
sored the event at the Stephen C.
O'Connell Center, though they
usually bring a band to perform.
Gatorfest is part of the Weeks
of Welcome program designed to
orient first-year and transfer stu-
dents to UF, as well as welcome
back all returning students.
Director of Campus Programs
Beth Waltrip helped plan the
event.
"This is a program to intro-
duce our new students to campus
traditions," Waltrip said. "When
they go to Preview, they get aca-
demic information but no rah-rah
stuff."
At Gatorfest students prac-
ticed UF's traditional cheers led
by the marching band and spirit
teams.
Comedian and humor col-
umnist Steve Hofstetter also
provided entertainment. Waltrip
said in forgoing the usual musical
fare, SG booked a comedian to of-

UF swimmers Ryan Lochte and Justin Zumsteg open Gatorfest, an event introducing new students to
campus life and traditions.
fer a performance to students that
would be more universally enter-
taining. He was paid $3,000.
Academic, athletic and student
leaders also spoke at the event.
Student Body President Joe
Goldberg was one of the first to
speak about his Gator pride.
"People do not refer to them-
selves as .going to the University-
of Florida. They refer to them-
selves as Gators," Goldberg said.
That is a trait people recognize
all over the nation, he said.
UF men's basketball coach
Billy Donovan also spoke.
"This is a very, very special
place. Being part of this institu-
tion means something," Donovan
said. "We have the greatest stu-
dent body in the United States of
America."
UF President Bernie Machen
announced that in addition to
being a pep rally, Gatorfest was
also the kickoff for the volunteer
campaign that organizers hope
results in 100 million minutes of
community service by students
and Alachua County residents.
The event involves UF's Center
for Leadership and Service in the
Division of Student Affairs, SFCC
and the Volunteer Center of
Alachua County.
After encouraging students
to volunteer, Machen voiced his
pride in UF's student body.
"From my perspective the best
part of the University of Florida is
you, the students," he said.
Kayla Shinneman, a first-year
nursing student at UF, attended
Wednesday night's event.
"Gatorfest was so much fun,"
Shinneman said. "It really is great
to be a Florida Gator."
Meghan Trivunovich, a first-
year education major, shared
Shinneman's sentiments.
"It was really exciting that
everyone had so much spirit,"
Trivunovich said. "It made all of
the new freshmen feel like part of
the Gator family."

HURRICANE KATRINA
Student relief efforts expected to surpass initial goals
By TIM HUSSIN
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF's hurricane-relief program is grow-
ing this week with a holistic effort between
the Center for Leadership and Service and
Student Government. .
The Gator hurricane-relief effort is a stu-
dent-driven initiative headed by the center
and SG and supported by university adminis-
tration, faculty and students. .
The short-term goal of the effort will be
to concentrate on emergency needs, while
long-term goals include creating a mentoring
program for Tulane University and Loyola
University students who now attend UF.
The program's game-day donation drive
brought in about $16,000 Saturday.
"Last weekend the generosity of the Gators
was amazing," said Jared Hernandez, SG
hurricane-relief coordinator. "We nearly sur-
passed the initial goal of $20,000 and for this
reason are extending it to $40,000."
To avoid the complications the Navy ROTC
experienced Saturday, he said all student organi-
zations that wish to help in the relief effort must
register for a permit online at www.dso.ufl.edu/
gatorrelief. University Police may ask those
without permits to leave campus.
The campaign will inform and encourage
the student body to help in all ways possible.
Hernandez said he will propose a bill in the
Student Senate next Tuesday to release funds
from SG reserves to fund the hurricane relief
effort, which will go toward materials and
supplies for upcoming fundraising events.
Student Body President Joe Goldberg has
authorized the use of SG executive funds to
pay for these events, he said.
"Last weekend the generosity of
the Gators was amazing."
Jared Hernandez
SG hurricane-relief coordinator
The GatorNation Can Food Drive will start
early this year, and students will have the op-
portunity to donate essentials.
"Items that are desperately needed include
things like granola bars, fruit cups, cereal and
any other food items that do not require cook-
ing or a can opener for consumption," wrote
student manager Alana Rush in an e-mail.
Students also are encouraged to par-
ticipate in the Cards of Hope Program during
Saturday's game in which they can put their
thoughts, hopes and prayers on cards to be
delivered to victims in hurricane shelters.
The Gator Spare Change Drive will take
place during Gator Plunge, the kickoff of the
center's community-service .campaign, on
Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon on the Plaza of
the Americas.
The proceeds will go to the American Red
Cross.
Hemandez said the relief effort is working
on getting educators and leaders to speak at
UF and inform the student body of the socio-
economic issues that surround the disaster.
"This has gone from being big to bigger-
than-big," -Hemandez said.
Blood donations up in Southern states after Katrina
* ALACHUA COUNTY HAS
BEEN ESPECIALLY HELPFUL.
By CRYSTAL HENRY
Alligator Writer
chenry@alligator.org
With many people clinging to
life because of Hurricane Katrina,
Southerners are reaching out to help
them by donating the very thing
that keeps them alive blood.
Donations have increased by
50 percent overall in Georgia,
Alabama and Florida, said Carolyn
Quintanilla, LifeSouth Community
Blood Centers' district director.
On Aug.-30, the day after Katrina
hit New Orleans, 67 people donated
, blood in Birmingham, Ala.; 43 do-
nated in Atlanta; and 119 donated in
Alachua County.
Tuesday, donations rose to 128 in
Birmingham, 100 in Atlanta and 169
in Alachua County, she said.
Quintanilla said community
blood centers like LifeSouth contrib-
ute to about half the nation's blood
donations. The
American Red Cross
contributes about 40
to 45 percent, and
Hurricane the other 5 to 10 per-
Katrina cent is from military
installations.
Patients from
southern Alabama and Mississippi
have been relocated to hospitals in
Atlanta-and Birmingham, she said.
Last week, LifeSouth imported blood
to them from Orlando and Tampa.
Quintanilla said although dona-
tions have increased, "I would still
encourage people to donate."
Hurricanes usually don't create
blood needs, but donation centers
such as The Blood Center in New
Orleans can't collect or process do-
nations right now, and they have
to rely on other centers for blood,.
she said.
Many people wondered what
they could do to help in this time
of crisis besides just giving money,
Quintanilla said.
"This definitely gives people a
way to make a difference," she said.
She said traditionally 25 percent
of LifeSouth's donations come from
students, and the number of dona-
tions ,declines significantly when
school is out.
Donors must be at least 17 years
old and weigh at least 110 pounds.

Editorial
Golden towels
Student Government
fumbles with funds
The Editorial Board is all sweaty from discussing today's
topic. Before we begin, however, we just need something
to dry off our hard, pulsing pecs.
Ah yes, hand us that $50,000 towel.
Mmm. Feels like the fluffy thread of incompetence.
At Tuesday's Student Senate meeting, senators passed the first
version of a bill allocating that amount to the buying and laun-
dering of 15,000 towels for the Southwest Recreation Center.
Apparently, their foremost reason is that UF students are
dirty hippies.
Or in Gator Party President Laura Gonzalez's words, "It's
kind of gross that they, keep wiping down the machines with a
towel they have not washed."
We have a brilliant idea: Why doesn't SG use that money for
a huge public-relations campaign for hygiene?
We can see it now. SG-officials will hand out toothbrushes
and deodorant to all the students on Turlington Plaza.
Joe Goldberg will smile in TV commercials as he pumps iron
and then wipes off the seat with a golden towel.
But wait. SG already launched a campaign advertising those
clean and professional student officials. And they spent $67,000
on it.
In fact SG has been spontaneously spending a lot of money
this past year.
During the summer it contributed $115,000 to lower ticket
prices for students attending Phillips Center for the Perfoming
Arts events.
A few months ago $340,000 of students' Activity & Service
fees landed in the bank account of Gator Growl, because the
event was underfunded by organizer Florida Blue Key.
And many other bills for smaller amounts blazed through
the Senate without a look back.
Where does most of this money come from? Reserves.
That's not money budgeted. It's not all part of the annual
plan. It doesn't come from the fees you paid last year.
It all comes from the fees students have paid in the past. It's
money saved for a rainy day, or for large, planned-out projects.
It's not for SG to fritter away like a child in a candy store.
The towel debacle is just the latest in a string of ignorant
bills.
We'd rather those funds be spent on the USA Today reader-
ship program. Then everyone could ignore the reports of SG
incompetence by reading national papers.
Sure, all these projects are nice. We'd love to have free towels
when we go to the gym. Cheap theater sounds nice. A grand
Gator Growl is an excuse to get wasted and school-spirited.
Hey, while we're at it why don't we all wipe our behinds
with $20 bills?
Slow down all you young, eager politicians.
It's OK to give treats to the student body sometimes, but you
have to work up to it. Are all of these expenditures going to be
added to next year's annual budget? Or is this kind of reckless
spending going to be robbed constantly from reserves? Either
way it sounds expensive.
More troubling than these student-aimed withdrawals are
funds taken from our reserve vault to cushion SG officials' lives.
Last year -they spent almost $6,000 on'a banquet for them-
selves.
And almost every year the Senate passes a bill that takes
thousands of dollars from reserves to fund a trip to a leader-
ship conference for SG officials. It goes on their resumes and
provides them with prominent mentors.
How many student organizations get that kind of treatment?
But the Editorial Board doesn't think those in SG mean to be
so blatantly irresponsible in spending students' money.
They must be a little dim.
After all, who would spend $50,000 on towels?

Leader of free world should be elite
something truly fascinates everyone about the presi-
dent's "recreational labors."
Every time Bush travels to his ranch in Crawford,
Texas, we are assailed with countless images of the president
occupying himself with mundane tasks such as clearing
brush, repairing fence posts, etc.
These blatant attempts at showing Bush as a simple man-
of-the-people are ridiculous and not just because they're
performed in front of thousands of video cameras on the
1,583-acre ranch the president owns.
No, they're ridiculous because they send the wrong mes-
sage, and it's a message that's all-the more dangerous for its
popularity.
The idea that the most powerful man in the world is a
mere average American, a simple man who enjoys simple
tasks, is exactly the wrong idea the president needs to be
sending to the American people.
At what point did mediocrity become acceptable? At
what point did we decide average was the goal?
But as much as the raging liberal in me wants to blame
President Bush for, well, pretty much everything, that's
dearly unfair.
The strains of anti-intellectualism and anti-elitism that in-
fect this country are virulent, and the president is neither the
cause of the sickness nor its most odious symptom.
Of course the president deserves a great deal of criticism
for his attitude. Bragging about being a C student in college is
hardly admirable rhetoric. And perhaps more than any other
president, Bush embraces the perception of simplicity with
astonishing passion.
But this is an entirely bipartisan phenomenon.
During the- 2004 election John Kerry tried to show his
normalcy by arranging a number of photo-ops that showed
him hunting, shotgun in hand. They mostly succeeded in
Andrew Bare propelling Kerry to a level of silliness
Speaking Out heretofore considered to be a purely
theoretical construct of chemists and
physicists.
American elections too often degenerate into a depressing
contest to see which candidate can best emulate your next-
door.neighbor. But contests for important leadership posi-
tions shouldn't be a matter of which candidate would make
the best next-door neighbor, and I don't say that because my
next-door neighbor back home is a sullen man who ogles my
older sister when she washes her car.
No, it's a matter of the stakes being too high to entrust the
upper levels of our government to average men and wopnen.
This country, for all its faults, is the pre-eminent power for
good in the world today. This is Athens. This is Rome. This
is Camelot.
This country is too important to be run by the average. It
needs the best of the best.
The elite.
The man elected president is the commander in chief of
the most powerful military force since the Roman legions.
The man elected president is a mediator for international
situations where millions of lives are at stake.
Do you want that man to be average?
Our leaders should speak to us with words that inspire
thoughts of greatness, that urge us not to settle for anything
less than brilliance. Instead, they too often speak of their
similarity to us.
We don't need men drawn from the ranks of the ordinary.
We need men who have risen to the ranks of the extraordi-
nary.
But before that can happen, we need men willing to say
they are extraordinary.

Letters to the Editor
SG funds towels, leaves cabinets poor
I am appalled that the leaders of Student
Government have initially passed a bill to
spend nearly $50,000 funding the purchase
and laundering of towels at recreational facili-
ties.
Conversely, the SG Cabinet, an organiza-
tion I was fortunate enough to represent, is
given a mere $35,000 annually to operate 41
cabinets, each of which provides the student
body with useful programs.
It doesn't seem fiscally responsible that
while gym-goers are able to keep dry, the
efforts of the SNAP transportation system,
tutoring centers and community-service ini-
tiatives are barely supporting themselves.
Well, at least Goldberg & Co. will have
something to wipe their brow with when the
student population demands answers.

U U
Column focuses on fringe liberals
Matthew Melone's Sept. 6 piece relied
on unfair examples of fringe liberals. Can I
claim conservatives want black people to die
because Rush Limbaugh and Neal Boortz said
they were too lazy to escape and should be left
behind? The Alligator is complicit in a smear
against all center-left individuals for printing
such tripe. At least the conservative examples I
listed have a nationwide political following,

U .
Federal policies partially to blame
Matthewr Melone's effort to downgrade the
criticisms of governmental policy brought on
by Hurricane Katrina is nonsensical and ex-
tremely counterproductive.
It is certainly fair to blame bureaucratic pol-
icies for environmental degradation, whether
or not this was the exact cause of Katrina. It
is also fair to put the brunt of responsibility
on the president's administration, as he has
claimed to secure our "homeland" through
organizations such as the Federal Emergeny
Management Agency, which failed even in the
most crucial-of tasks last week.
The federal government's response to onie
of the worst natural disasters in American his-
tory is almost laughable.
What is unfair .is the author's attempt to
categorize the critics of the response under a
label such as "liberals." While political affili-
ation has nothing to do with natural disaster
-relief, the idea of even bringing such classifica-
tions into the picture is counterproductive.
The president and his administration have
duties to all of us, first and foremost being the
safety of this country's constituency. To say
the federal government has so far responded
in a satisfactory manner would be an outright
lie. As it stands now, the.city of New Orleans,
once a flourishing cultural center, is no more
than an underwater death trap comparable to
the mythological magnitude of Atlantis.

New Orleans evacuation a local issue
I would love to know just how President
Bush should be held responsible for the evacu-
ation of New Orleans. The Alligator obviously
-has the answer since it stated in Wednesday's
editorial that- "President Bush and New
Orleans officials failed in evacuating the city
properly, resulting in the poorest factions be-
ing left behind."
The president has many duties, but orga-
nizing citywide evacuations isn't one of them.
A competent person would know that the
first respondents in an emergency.like this are
at the local and state, levels.
In a natural disaster like Hurricane Katrina,
the president's roll is generally restricted to de-
claring disaster areas so victims can get grants
and low-interest loans to rebuild, deploying
FEMA and visiting victims for moral support.
Blame most definitely needs to be shoul-
dered by someone, but the last person who
should be blamed for the incompetence in
New Orleans is President Bush.

Head trustee post available
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
Chairmanship of UF's
highest governing body, the
Board of Trustees, will be up
for grabs Friday, but the man
in the top spot is expected to
keep his position.
"We will likely re-elect
Manny Fernandez to the
chair," said board member
Dianna Morgan.
Fernandez, who was
appointed to the board in
2001, was elected chairman
in 2003.
Board committees will
meet Thursday in Emerson
Alumni Hall, and the 13-
member board will meet in
full Friday.
Fernandez said one of the
board's primary goals is to
kick off a capital campaign
within the next year and
review recent staff selections
made by Provost Janie Fouke
to ensure UF is moving to-
ward its goal of becoming a
r bI. r Top 10 pub-
lic research
university.
Th e
'i. 7 board
S also will
examine
UF's relief
Fernandez efforts for
the victims
of Hurricane Katrina, which
already include opening
classroom doors to affected
students and raising $75,000
from pay-per-view revenue
of the UF vs. Wyoming foot-
ball game to donate to the
American Red Cross.
Fernandez said aside from
relief efforts, the content
of the 682-page agenda for
the two days of meetings is
pretty typical.
"There's nothing very
controversial in this board
meeting at all," Fernandez
said. "The university is run-
ning very, very well."
Other items on the agenda
include the start of a self-as-
sessment of UF's compliance
with NCAA standards and
a review of the university's
outreach programs to high
schools with high concentra-
tions of minority students.
Fouke also is expected to
discuss the characteristics
of UF's growing popula-
tion, which stands at nearly
49,000.
Officials differ on ways to spend state funds
CITF, from page 1
is the size of the organization and the amount of
programs they do for the university."
The priority of other recipients was not the
only factor in the trust fund's diversion. After re-
ceiving the allocation, UF officials announced that
a "state-of-the-art, premiere" Bandshell renova-
tion would require $5 million, Goldberg said.
But Van de Bogart said that "any sort of
renovations to the Bandshell would be greatly
needed."
The venue's condition has limited the scope
of UF's performances in the past. The Roots were
scheduled-to play at UF in Fall 2003, but the show
was canceled because the Bandshell's roof leaked
too much rain, Van de Bogart said.
He said the most memorable Bandshell
show was a concert Outkast put on several
years ago.
"People tell me stories like it's this old myth,"
he said, "the greatest show
-Student that's ever gone to UF.
-': T-?. e n Supposedly, it was like a sea
of people, and it was right
before Outkast really blew up."
Goldberg said the decision made was in UF
students' best interest.
"On a day-to-day, week-to-week basis, the
Rion Ballroom is going to get more usage than the
.Bandshell," he said.
New Publix opens
By KIMBERLY GOUZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
As Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. closes
two local stores and Albertson's,
Inc. officials consider selling the
company, Gainesville welcomes its
.12th Publix supermarket.
The new Publix, at 5200 SW 34th
St., opens today at 8 a.m. with offer-
ings of samples in each department,
coupons and a free coffee mug to
the first 1,000 customers.
The 39,000-square-foot store will
anchor the Shoppes of Williston
Road, located on the comer of
Southwest 34th Street and Williston
Road, a new center that also will in-
clude Supercuts, Williston Liquors,
China Wok and NY Nails.
Chemical engineering sopho-
more Corene Cano said she is a
frequent shopper at the Publix on
Archer Road because of its proxim-
ity to her apartment.
"I will probably continue to
shop at the Butler Plaza Publix be-
cause I don't have a car," Cano said.
"But if distance were not an issue, I
would like to take advantage of the
deals at Albertson's or try this new
Publix."
Cano, who said she sometimes
makes the trek to Albertson's on
Archer Road for the store's 10 for
$10 sales, was surprised to hear the
company may be going on sale.
"It's strange; they have really
good prices," she said.
Albertson's. has been receiving
intense competition from Wal-Mart
and other chains, according to The
New York Times.
Friday, the company announced
on its Web site it "is exploring stra-
tegic alternatives to increase share-
holder value, including a possible
sale of the company."
Albertson's has two locations in
Gainesville, and company spokes-
man Shane McEntarffer said there
are no plans to close the stores.
"We enjoy serving the
Gainesville market and the
college students."
Shane McEntarffer
Albertsons spokesman
"We enjoy serving the
Gainesville market and the college
students," McEntarffer said.
Junior Sam Ahuja said he doesn't
mind shopping at Albertson's but
he prefers Publix and plans to shop
at the new location.
"Even though I don't think our
small town needs 12 various Publix
locations, I am glad to know that if
there is a food emergency, I will not
have to travel five minutes but only
two minutes to satisfy my ravenous
hunger," he said.
Publix spokesman Dwaine
Stevens said the new store will
mark the chain's 856th location.
"We feel this location is going to
be very well-accepted and support-
ed," he said. "The Gainesville market
has been very lucrative for us."

Bus tour members speak out against war in Iraq
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
With "Hey wingnut!" and "Truth not
Spin" emblazoned on its caravan, the tour
arrived in Gainesville on Wednesday.
Cindy Sheehan made national news last
month when she publicly asked President
Bush why her son died in Iraq. Her passion
helped fuel the Bring Them Home Now
Tour, a group of activists, family members
of soldiers and veterans speaking out to op-
pose the war across the country.
The South Bus Tour visited the Civic
Media Center on West University Avenue,
where Gold Star Families for Peace mem-
ber Julie Cuniglio spoke about her nephew
Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Aaron Dean White.
White died along with two others on
May 19,2003, when their helicopter crashed
near Al Hillah, Iraq.
Cuniglio said her family is a bunch of
Army brats, but she is against the war.
"The problem is the whole country has
been lied to," she said.
Students who sign up for the military to
earn money for college simply "get what
they put in," she said.
Soldiers on active duty can get up to
$70,000 to pay for college. Soldiers in the
Army Reserve can get up to $22,000, ac-
cording to www.goarmy.com.
"There's nobody in Iraq going to col-
lege," Cuniglio said.
Military Families Speak Out member
Phil Waste, of Hinesville, Ga., has three sons
and two grandchildren who have spent a
total of 57 months on duty in Iraq, he said.
He and his wife, Linda, met Sheehan.
"There is nothing noble about this war,"
Linda Waste said. "This is an munjust war.
It is we the people who are making the
sacrifice."
Former Marine Staff Sgt. Jimmy Massey
was part of the invasion of Iraq in January
2003 but was sent home after five months of
service for voicing his distaste of the shoot-
ings of Iraqi civilians by American troops.
"We're just calling everybody terror-
ists," he said.
Massey said he saw a 4-year-old Iraqi
girl with a bullet hole in her head.
"You can't take it back," he said.
But he said this four is helping him.
"I sold my soul to the Marine Corps a
long time ago," he said. "Every time I speak
out, I gain a little bit of my soul back."

Bands'
budgets
busted
By WILL KENNETH
Avenue Contributing Writer
In a life where hot meals are lux-
uries, showers are infrequent, and
the only guarantee is that your tide
will break down eventually, touring
bands have proven themselves to be
the hardiest breed of musician.
But the true grit that these men
and women show is their resiliency
in the face of recent gas-price hikes
after Hurricane Katrina.
Traveling as a working band
always has been difficult, but now
some are questioning whether it can
still be done.
Craig Ian Hirschberger, the 25-
year-old bass player for The Boy
and The Knife, joked about driving
a 2001 Chevy Blazer.
"Yeah, not the best car to be
driving these days," Hirschberger
said. "Your tank is 15 to 18 gal-
lons. Driving from Atlanta, you're
looking at close to 80 to 90 bucks a
tank."
The benefit of owning an SUV,
for a musician, is the ability to
haul gear from one location to the
next, but the cost of gas may not
outweigh the benefits inherent to
gas-guzzlers.
It is not uncommon for a small
band to drive for hours to play a gig
and then to receive scant pay, too
little to cover gas expenses.
"It doesn't mean that bands are
going to have to stop touring, but I
think'it means that bands are going
to have to reconsider their itiner-
ary," Hirschberger said.
Smaller bands tend to book their
own shows with key dates as their
outline. Locations of the minor
shows between those crucial dates
may not be geographically coherent
or fuel efficient.
Jesse Zeigler, a 25-year-old gui-
tarist and vocalist for local band
Swayze, noticed that the price of gas
already is starting to level out after
the band's recent trip to Atlanta and
back.

'Gardener' a flower amid weeds
In lesser hands "The Constant Gardener" would be a
convoluted mess a thriller posing as an infomercial
sponsored by the Green Party.
Instead, with Oscar-worthy cinematography and direc-
tion combined with a star turn by the leading man, "The
Constant Gardner" takes the lead for best film of the year.
Through a series of flashbacks, we
learn that Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) :: "
is a British diplomat to a poor African
nation.
A shy and deliberate man, he has been ^'
chosen to read a prepared speech to a
group of students about British foreign
policy.
There he meets Tessa (Rachel Weisz), a quick-witted and
extremely confrontational young woman who braves the
crowd to openly criticize British policy.
Feeling embarrassed by the situation, she is comforted
by Justin. This leads to a strange romance between the two:
a melding of the ultimate type 2 personality with a type 1.
Before long, he is summoned to work in Kenya. Insisting
on going with him, Tessa hastily convinces Justin to marry
her.
In Africa, she throws herself into aiding the poor while
he constantly spends his free time in the garden.
Soon, along with an African doctor Arnold Bluhm
(Hubert Kounde), she becomes involved in a highly secre-
tive investigation involving a drug company called 3 Bee
testing its drugs on unaware Africans hoping to get simple
treatment.
She is seen as a nuisance to the African government and
drug companies, who are close to each
Brian other. They put pressure on Justin to
Offenther rein her in, which only leads to argu-
Reel Life ments between the couple.
theavenue@alligator.org As I said before, this is all learned by
flashbacks.
What is learned earlier in the film is
that Tessa has died.
I'd like to'tell you more: the apparent affair, the conspir-
acies, the murders, but that would be spilling too much.
After all, this is a thriller.
For a movie so big, it is also extremely taut. I went with
my girlfriend and couldn't find a single moment until the
credits rolled to steal a quick kiss. Each moment wasfilled
with so much content.
Watch how director Fernando Meirelles establishes
a color motif of white that evolves throughout the film.
Cinematographer Cesar Charlone utilizes all African land-
scapes.
Gas prices force creative escapes
Cumberland Island is worth the gas
money.
This Labor Day weekend I had
planned to go whitewater rafting on the
Ocoee River in Tennessee. Climbing gas
prices and limited availability doomed my
plans. So I searched for a closer outdoor
adventure I couldn't spend the entire
long weekend in Gainesville.
The trip that came to mind was
Cumberland Island. Cumberland is off the
coast of Georgia just across the state line
from Jacksonville. It's a protected national
Seashore with wide beaches, overgrown
oak forests and wild horses wild horses
you actually see when you go there.
I assumed it would be like 'there are
grizzlies in Yellowstone' and never see
one, but I've seen wild horses each of the
five times I've been to Cumberland, sev-
eral times crossing the trail just a few feet
in front of me.
It's not that they're tame either; it's that
there aren't many people on the island be-
sides a few residents and a friendly ranger.
But I've never been disappointed by
solitude.
Although the National Park Service
Web site will tell you to take the ferry and
camp in the established sites, that's not the
way to do Cumberland Island. Borrow
a canoe from a friend
or rent one 'from the f1
Outfitter on campus
and paddle yourself out
there. It's a lot more fun.
It's cheaper. I've never ..
seen dolphins swim
next to the roaring mo-
tors of the ferry but they aren't shy when
they see you paddling.
I recommend camping at a backcountry
site. You'll feel like you have the whole
island to yourself.
Start out at Crooked River State Park
and follow a map (available online) to
Plum Orchard. It's safe to leave your
canoes there then hike east to Yankee
Paradise Backcountry Campground. It's
just one and a half miles to the beach, or
you can- explore the trails that crisscross
the island.
Cumberland Island is one of my favor-
ite places to go in the Southeast; it's gor-
geous, fun and versatile. I've partied there
with a group of friends (clothes are option-
al at Stafford Beach).
Alison Mills I've taken a group of
The Great students to learn about
Outdoors backcountry cooking,
h, .,e-^,lu-:,- ,r,,:.-rg and I've escaped with
my boyfriend for a cli-
che romantic getaway.
The only downside is the mosquitos
that own the island until late October, but
if you go after that you can enjoy a milder
temperature sans bug bites.
I highly recommend checking this trip
out while you're at UF If you're interested,
look up www.nps.gov/cuis or if you want
a pre-planned trip, go with UF's Travel and
Recreation Program: www.union.ufl.edu/

Book answers
big life questions
W illiam T. Vollman's "Rising Up and Rising
Down" is a very important book. Forgive
my lack of expletive or adjective. There is
just no other way to say it in a review this size.
This 3,000-plus page book is about a number of
huge subjects: violence, hate, love, class, race, sex,
gender, desire, freedom, tyranny the whole kit 'n
caboodle. Vollman's novel is almost impossible to
fully digest, at least after a single reading, largely
due to its sheer length.
Over the course of seven volumes a project
that took 17 years to research and write Vollman
proposes and charts a calculus in relation to hu-
mankind's intrinsic and intricate relationship to
violence as both victim and aggressor during
the past several
millennia.
James Fleming He suggests
Off the Press something of
theavenue@alligator.org an answer to
the question of
when -violence
is and is not
justifiable. Vollman also reports on and from vari-
ous international hotspots such as Iraq, Afghanistan
and Colombia, places where he saw violence and
death firsthand and nearly died himself. So what
is Vollman's ultimate conclusion? It's hardly a sur-
prise: Violence is and always will be pointless and
mutually inevitable. Our entire history, Vollman
argues, has been. one of violence and trauma, death
and destruction.
"Rising Up and Rising Down" is magnificently
written, incredibly well-assembled and tremen-
dously wide-ranging. It's the kind of book you
make a project of and find yourself turning over
and over in your head long after you've read it.
This is not to say the book is perfect. At certain
points Vollman's arguments and examples seem
highly subjective and a bit too Western-oriented.
But what else can we reasonably expect? How
can he not align himself, at least to some measure,
to one party or another?
This tome is well worth the investment it
requires. If you have any interest in trying to figure
out where we are and how we got here, take a look
at it.
If you're not up for reading the full-length ver-
sion if you are, give yourself at least two or three
months Ecco Press has released "Rising Up and
Rising Down: Some Thoughts on Violence, Freedom
and Urgent Means," a carefully abridged version of
Vollman's seven volume set.

Serious grad students study comics
Comic books are for kids.
Try telling that to UF English
professor Donald Ault and his
graduate students who research comics.
You'll be in for a surprise.
Ault began teaching comics studies
at the University of California, Berkeley
in 1972.
He brought his vision of the impor-
tance of comics scholarship to UF as
the faculty adviser for the Graduate
Comics Organization, the instructor of
undergraduate courses studying com-
ics as narrative and the general editor of
ImageTexT, an online peer review jour-
nal about comics theory and criticism.
"I generally had to go against the
grain of the institutions," Ault said in
reference to his troubles defending the
importance of comics studies.
"When I got here there was already
so much interest in this kind of thing."
Ault works with doctoral candidates
researching a variety of topics includ-
ing, but not limited to, comics.
"I think what we're trying to do
here is a theoretically sound but also
culturally relevant, study that allows
for a lot of different approaches," said
Tof Eklund, a graduate student who
compares alternative comics like Craig
Thompson's "Blankets" to the carica-
tures of Honor6 Daumier. "I came to
UF because it is the best place if you
want to study comics. We're tops."
Trena Houp studied English and
children's literature at UF as an under-
graduate and is using
that background to
study wordless text,
the relationship of
image and text, and
that relationship in
comics.
"I get to bring in
-all these different avenues to explore
my own theoretical approaches to the
text that I look at," Houp said. "I like
that here at UF we have the freedom to
do that, that we have all these resources
available to us."
Resources like the Sol Davidson
Collection, located in Smathers Library
Special Collections, house a large num-
ber of "Big Little Books," Victorian-age
comics, and the first Dick Tracy and
Mickey Mouse comics.
But for some graduate students, the
decision to study comics at UF was
much simpler.
"I shamelessly took my personal in-
terests and let them become my research
interests," said Phil Sandifer, another of
Ault's students.
"I read superhero comics and play
video games. I realize that I could actu-
ally study these and make some sort of
strange career talking
about comic books
Karolena and video games."
Bielecki But you don't
Get Graphic have to be a gradu-
theavenue@alligator.org ate student to get
involved with comics
at UF.
On Feb. 24 and 25, UF will host the
Fourth Annual University of Florida
Comics Conference themed "Comics
and Childhood." Guests include Bill
Willingham, writer of "Fables," and
Nate Powell, author of "Tiny Giants."
The event is free and open to the pub-
lic.
For undergraduates with a passion
for comics, Ault is looking for enthusi-
astic students interested in joining the
Florida Undergraduate Comics Club
and upperclassmen who may be inter-
ested in writing reviews for ImageTexT.

BENEFIT, from page 10
from Turn the Tide 1. She knows people will come
ready to donate, as immediately after the disaster
she received e-mails from many of the past art-
ists and donators asking if there would be another
event.
"I think that it's basically artists, grassroots and
making a connection here," Garber said.
Originally from Gainesville and growing up in
a household that routinely helped charities, Scott is
eager to get the community involved.
"I know our listeners don't have a lot.of money,
but we have a lot of listeners. We can all do a little
bit," Scott said.
Even if someone isn't able to help right now, rais-
ing awareness is a big part of it, he said.
"I didn't have $100, but I did it," he said. "People
should save their money they spent on The Brothers
Grimm because that was the worst movie I've ever
seen. That new 3 Doors Down record that you
heard on Rock 104 use that money and donate
it instead."

RESTAURANT REVIEW
Jazzy style, dim lights create tasteful ambiance
Enjoying a fine slice of Italy
doesn't take a passport, $800
plane ticket or trip across the
Atlantic.
Locals have been following their
stomachs down U.S. Highway
441 south to the Blue Highway
Pizzeria or north to Ristorante di
Deneno two great Italian restau-
rants in the small towns surround-
ing Gainesville.
In Micanopy owner Winny
Ruffino sees many Gainesville
residents enter her Blue Highway,
a charming, casual diner with an
eclectic flair and a boastful claim:.
"We have the best pizza in
America," Ruffino said.
And after my first bite of the
chicken cattiatore pizza, I was a
believer.
The thin non-gre.,-,crust wasn't
chewyy it crunched. Atop moz-
zarella and asiago cheeses, toppings
were stacked generously: chicken,
tomatoes. onionss green and red
pepper-., nm,u-suoi.ori .id oregano.
It was the right hodgepodge of
ingredients and taste, magnified by
a fresh salad and a yummy slice of
homemade Key lime pie.
All of Blue Highway's sauces,
salad dressings, pizza dough and
bread are made in-house by Winny's
husband and one-time UF executive
chef, Frank Ruffino. Additionally,
the restaurant's colorful walls sup-
port the town's local artists.
North of U.S. 441 in Alachua, is
a more upscale
and sophisti-
cated dining
experience than
the cozy, fam-.
ily-operated.
Blue Highway,
From the jazzy, chic decor to the
dramatically dim lighting, from the
open pizza kitchen to the live music,
Deneno's entertaining atmosphere
is reason enough why out-of-town-
ers venture to the restaurant.
When the food arrived I found
another explanation.
A salad of garden greens, blue-
berries, gorgonzola cheese, mangos
and roasted, sug-
Chan Tran ar-glazed pecans
Ne,.,. Bte-. with a mango vin-
,,- ,,, ,, ,,:,,- aigrette dressing
burst with flavor.
The darkly toasted
pecans tasted deli-
ciously sweet like candy.
I had the dinner special, a thick
Ahi tuna steak with roasted garlic-
herb potatoes over a bed of light,
sweet brown sauce. The fresh tuna
was delicately tender and moist
in taste and texture. I sampled my
friend's Agnolotti al'Aragosta, lob-
ster-filled ravioli in a white cream
lobster sauce with a touch of fresh
basil. As the pasta melted in my
mouth, the lobster and rich creamy
sauce enveloped 'my taste buds.
Finally, Deneno's dessert of warm
banana, vanilla ice cream and bitter-
sweet liqueur sauce sent me home
happily satiated.
The scenic drives to these Italian
restaurants are perfect for weekend
and evening trips. There is some dis-
tance to travel for great Italian, but
you don't have to cross an ocean.
Tail'gators' aid moochers
( tn game days, more than 100,000
people surround Ben Hill Griffin
Stadium. Don't hate them for the
turn signals they refuse to use or the trash
they leave. Rejoice about the food they
share.
Southerners take pride in their hospital-
ity, which means hungry
students benefit.
Why spend money
on wings and beer when
thousands of others al-
ready have?
Strong bonds form
around food, so don't think of helping your-
self to a five-layer sub as mooching, but as
building unity in the Gator Nation. Hugging
a stranger after Chad Jackson receives anoth-
er touchdown pass is-far more comfortable
if you've already shared pleasantries over
fried chicken.
I suggest starting at the Stephen C.
O'Connell Center parking lot. Hundreds of
Bull Gators have reserved parking there for
every game. These zealous donors already
demonstrated their generosity and likely
will share their bounty with you. If you've
never seen shrimp at a tailgate, you are in for
a quite a treat.
Next, wave to the nice officers controlling
traffic and walk to the houses north of the
stadium. Look for large
Diana Jo crowds with red cups,
Godfrey bottles and burgers in
Cheap Beat hand. Sweet tea is not
theavenue@alligator.org the only sign of Southern
goodness. Nod at the
folks milling around the'
yard, and go inside for the goods.
Everyone will assume you actually know
someone, or they will be so caught up in foot-
ball fervor, they won't nQtice you're there. Be
prepared to exchange cheerful banter.
Keep moving. Lingering at one ice chest
for too long may provoke territorial glares.
While it would be sweet to have a $600
grill that swivels and attaches to your hitch,
cases of beverages stacked up in a closet, and
High-school band rocks
Cara del Gato is different from other
Gainesville bands. For starters
they aren't quite from Gainesville.
They're from Union County one of
Florida's "forgotten regions" about 45
miles outside the limits of the state's cul-
tural and tourist attractions.
"This is the closest music scene there
is," said singer and guitarist Waylon
Thornton. Secondly,
the band members are
still in high school.
At 17, Cara del
Gato's members aren't
even old enough to go
to shows at Common
Grounds, which they've booked. But this
hasn't stopped them from being accepted
in the Gainesville scene.
"It's never been a problem for us,
which I'm surprised about," Thornton
said. Cara del Gato gained a foothold in
Gainesville by promoting and playing a
show for itself and other local bands at
Tim & Terry's Music & More, 1417 NW
First Ave., packing the venue with nearly
200 people. Thornton said he feels so com-
fortable here he's already decided that for
him, Gainesville is the place to be.
"I haven't even been all over. the
world, and I already know it doesn't get
much better than this," Thornton said.
"You can live in Gainesville and never
travel and still become one of the most
cultured people around.
"The band consists of Thornton and
drummer Kyle Mattox. That's right, two
people.
Cara del Gato
Matt Clear switches effortlessly
between surf-pop,
Playlist noisy Pixies-esque
theavenue@alligator.org indie rock and
crowd-pleasing sing-
alongs.
Their musical eclecticism isn't likely to
end there, though.
"There's no telling where the next di-
rection's going to be. Probably something
crazier," Mattox said.
After finishing recording its debut
album in September, the band is looking
for new direction and new ideas.
"As long as I'm living, Cara del Gato's
gonna be going on," Thornton said. Cara
del Gato will play at Hyde and Zeke's
Records on Friday night.

PURPLE PORPOISE
Porpoise sees last day; Midtown opens doors
By DANIELLE LUCEY
Avenue Writer
It's been a long, drawn-out
death for the Purple Porpoise Pub'
After little less than 10 months
at its new location, the doors will
close on the 26-year-old Gainesville
institution for good.
A managerial change last month
at the 919 W University Ave. loca-
tion hammers the final nail in the
Porpoise's coffin. In its place is a
new bar-and-music venue dubbed
Midtown has emerged.
"In the past 10 months, it re-
ally didn't leave a mark like it
did before," said Joe Lezcano, the
venue's new manager.
The previous location of the
Purple Porpoise closed in the
winter of 2002 with a candlelight
vigil ceremony, that's right kids,
for a bar.
The location is open for busi-
ness during the change over and
even reached its 102-person capac-
ity during the Gainesville Summer
and Film Showcase (aka MoeFest).
Unlike the Porpoise, it will be
closed most Sundays unless there
is a show.
Lezcano, a 25-year-old
Gainesville resident since 1989, has
a long resume filled with musical
odds-and-ends jobs. This includes
a two-year stint as The Skatalite's
road manager, who he plans to
bring to the club in April.
"We want to make it a humble,
laid-back place where everyone can
enjoy themselves," Lezcano said. He
likened the atmosphere of the Purple
Porpoise to a frat or sports bar.
"We pretty much want an old
Common Grounds vibe without
taking their crowd," he said.
The changes Lezcano is imple-
menting include stacking the tables
in the bar when a band is playing
to get maximum standing room
and making the wall adjacent to
University Avenue soundproof.
Also, due to a potential change
in zoning, Midtown might be-
come eligible for a liquor license
in November or December. After
Christmas, Lezcano said he may
open Midtown for lunch as well.
For now he is trying to better
the sound system and have hired
a full-time sound guy instead of
handling it behind the bar.
Most of the people who worked
at the Purple Porpoise are no
longer employed there. Lezcano
cleans, sets up the bar, orders beer,
does paperwork and fliers for
Midtown. His sister will help him
bartend. He will be looking to hire
in the future, he said, but for now

Gas blows bands' budgets; members must find creative loops to conserve cash
GAS, from page 10
a gas-price and availability panic," she said. "People were
nervous."
But, she added, "Prices were lower on otr return trip from
Atlanta than they were on our way there, which is a fairly quick
settling time."
Swayze had planned to go on tour with Atlanta-based Jet
by Day, but Jet by Day canceled its entire tour at the last minute
due to the sudden change in gas prices.
"Usually the way bands are going to budget that money is
for gas and food," Zeigler said. "When there's a $1 or $2 rise in
gas prices, that's food gone."
While many bands might be deterred from touring because

of the significant change in the price of gas, a few still have faith
that bands will be determined to press on.
Jason Rockhill, co-owner of Common Grounds, is no
stranger to spending weeks crammed into a van.
At 30 years old, Rockhill has accumulated eight years of
experience touring with Hot Water Music and Discount, taking
part in everything from house parties to Warped Tour.
"There's always been the '[expletive] it, we're going to go
there' attitude with punk bands," Rockhill said. "They don't do
it for the sake of money."
"The reason they're in bands is that they don't want real
jobs; they're career musicians."
While mid- to large-size bands like Against Me! and Less
Than Jake probably will be able to continue unaffected, it will
be the smaller, lesser-known bands feeling the brunt of the
change.
"I think the price change is going to happen at the merch ta-
ble," Rockhill said. "The $12 shirt might become the $15 shirt."
Thankfully, not all news is bad for fans. At Common
Grounds contracts in place prior to shows prevent ticket prices
from rising until after November.
This means that tickets for the infamous Gainesville punk-
rock festival The Fest will remain similar to prices of years
past.
Rockhill also reassured fans of alcohol that drink prices will
remain unaffected until the distribution companies dictate a
change themselves.
However, in the midst of all this speculation, it is easy to
forget who the real victims are.
"It is tough to justify massive gas usage and potential mon-
ey losses on tour when those are two crucial resources for relief
and recovery efforts," Zeigler said.

Sex life hard to keep up
Wonder if Martha Stewart has any suggestions
for getting lube stains out of sheets?
Even with all the bourgeois ready-made
answers our parents, teachers and television pro-
vide us with for a comfortable lifestyle, the hassles
involved in having consistent sex consistently
aren't addressed.
As far as dirty sheets go,
I'm sure Martha would suggest
something involving a closet
full of individually labeled 0"
sheet sets. I'm not that retentive,
's I'll just have to wash them all
the time.
The television promoters of
the comfortable middle-class lifestyle are not the
only ones not calculating this variable into our
lifestyle. Our parents haven't trained us well,
either.
Thanks to my mother, I keep at least one un-
opened stick of deodorant and two rolls of toilet
paper in stock.
Unfortunately, my mother never taught me to
keep up with my condoms to the same degree.
So when I run out, we have to run out for an
emergency trip in the middle of the night to the
24-hour pharmacy, or worse, Wal-Mart.
For condoms I've learned to keep them always
in the box, so you see just how many you have
left. Otherwise, you'll waste 30 minutes foraging
in your sock drawer for a phantom.
In high school my teacher taught us to make
a monthly budget for our income. While things
like condoms, lube and dinners together all fit
easily into the miscellaneous-spending wedge of
my pie chart, I forgot to predict the increased gas
consumption of driving back and forth from his
place to.mine.
With all these hassles, one
Mr. Lube simple solution seems obvi-
ous stop having sex but
Risqu6 Business that's not even as simple as
theavenue@alligator.org it sounds. Unfortunately, the
greatest frustration of having
consistent sex is the expecta-
tion of having consistent sex.
You can't prepare yourself for it, and I don't
think the talented minds from Home and Garden
Television could find an answer. As soon as that
comfort is gone, no quick-and-disposable solu-
tion can substitute.
We discuss it only after breakups.-However,
simple scheduling conflicts, business trips,
homework overload and any number of de-
tails can easily hinder an otherwise happy sex
life.
So even though I've been taught how to clean
anything, balance a budget and keep a well-
stocked house, when it comes to consistent sex, I
was never told what I was really getting into.

UF FOOTBALL
Gators' running game still needs fine tuning
By ERIC ESTEBAN
". "' Alligator Staff Writer
eesteban@alligator.org
It took less than two seconds to
botch the play. On third-and-1 in the
Gators' first series against Wyoming
on Saturday, freshman running back
Kestahn Moore was roped in the
backfield for no gain.
Moore's failure to make the con-
version proved to be an ominous
sign for a UF rushing attack that
gained only 91 yards on 36 carries.
While 2.5 yards per carry might be
good enough to push the Gators
past the likes of Wyoming, establish-
ing the ground game has become
the top priority with Tennessee,
Alabama, LSU and Florida State still
looming.
UF coach Urban Meyer's phi-
losophy on the ground is simple
enough when executed perfectly,
but it's a far cry from the I-formation
and shotgun draws that once ran
supreme in Gainesville.
"The running game can really
tick if three things come together,"
Moore said. "Blocking, speed and
timing are necessary for it to work
and that falls on everyone."
Still in the blocks
' At the conclusion of spring,
Meyer made several moves along
the offensive line with only senior
Mike Degory returning to the same
position he played in 2004. However,
with four out of five spots on the line
occupied by seniors, UF is relying on
experience to hold strong in a first-

a designated lineman.
"Coach sat us down and ex-
plained to us that this is what we
were supposed to have done and
we're going to work on it this
week," Washington said.
Timing it just right
Meyer's push for discipline has
received publicity for his" off-the-
field tactics, but he expects the same
on the field. Against Wyoming UF
fielded two running backs for the
first time. Meyer. expected Moore
and redshirt freshman Markus
Manson to have a feel for timing
right away, despite their lack of
experience.
Junior Skyler Thornton also
played on Saturday to mixed results,
but the running game could be back
on track after Meyer confirmed that
DeShawn Wynn would return on
Saturday.
The strongest runner of the tail-
back quartet, Wynn could bring the
timing back to the rushing offense
when running between the tackles.
While Wynn refuses to speak to
the media, Washington confirmed
that Wynn could be the difference
against Louisiana Tech and beyond.
"Throughout the game, I would
-talk to him a little bit and asked him
what was up, and he said, 'Man,
I really wanted to be out there. I'll
be back next week for you all, guys.
I'm not going to let you all down,'"
Washington said.
"Last year he was focused, but I
didn't see him nearly as focused as
he is this year."
Team shows softer side of Swamp with better fan relations for 2005
Excuse me, are you one of the 90,707
people who showed up to last
Saturday's Wyoming game?
If so, I've got a message for you from a
few members of the UF football team:
Thanks and let's hang out sometime.
I know fans like to think of football play-
ers as well-trained behemoths whose heads-
are completely embedded in the game
at hand, but there's more there than you
know.
After the 32-14 win, do you know what a
lot of the players wanted to talk about?
UF's running game, or lack thereof?
Nope. I
How many touchdowns Chad Jackson

How awesome Chris Leak looked when
he scrambled? Yeah, right.
-The players wanted to talk about you, the
fans. Looks like you made a pretty good im-
pression on them at the Gator Walk.
"Oh man, the Gator Walk was amazing,"
a wide-eyed Brandon Siler said. "At first, I
thought it was going to be lame but those
buses rolled up and I was like 'Whoa.' It
made us all feel like rock stars."
The Gator Walk is one of Meyer's best
ideas yet because it benefits both sides.
Players look forward to support from the
home crowd before the imminent 60-mina-
ute battle begins.TFans enjoy it too because
they can have a more involved role in game
days.

Things, however,
weren't always so
lovey-dovey between
the fans and players.
"In years past, the
Farzad Safi football team tried
Far's Side to distance ourselves

center Mike Degory
said. "Coach Zook was
very careful with who we talked to and what
we said about the team."
Good call. You wouldn't want covert
spies to uncover the secrets of last year's 7-5
Gators powerhouse.

probably still trying to get the hang of this
new team, but Meyer and his crew had the
guts to make the first move.
Football players aren't too tough to spot
on campus, either. They are the only guys
who could ever possibly look cool wearing
white T-shirts that are five sizes too big for
them.
Just do it. Go up and talk to them. I'm
sure you're dying to ask Chad Jackson how
he managed to catch that one-handed, no
look touchdown or see how much taller you
are than Vernell Brown.
Don't take my word for it, though.
"Without the fans, there is no us," de-
fensive end Jeremy Mincey said. "I'd kick it
with any of the fans or students."

Wuerffel, ministry suffer from storm
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
The grief finally became too great for
former UF quarterback Danny Wuerffel.
With New Orleans, a city he poured
his life into, rotting beneath a sea of flood-
water, the Heisman winner finally broke
down in tears on Wednesday.
"I wept this morning thinking about
our city and thinking about the many
families and children that probably
drowned in their homes, so it's incredibly
sad," Wuerffel said. "And yet somehow at
the same time we've experienced a kind of
joy and vision."
Joy and vision have always been nearly
nonexistent in the destitute Desire neigh-
borhood, which Wuerffel's Desire Street
Ministries has labored to revitalize.
Now, it's difficult to imagine a future for'
the ministry or it's neighborhood, located
in the city's heavily damaged, low-lying
9th Ward. As images of death, destruction
and rescue missions in the neighborhood
beam to television sets around the world,
Wuerffel said he's certain the ministry sus-
tained major damage, though he's not sure
to what extent. Even with a community
seemingly so bankrupt of hope, Wuerffel
recognizes an opportunity far greater than
anything he's ever imagined.
"Our ministry's mission is to revitalize
the Desire neighborhood," Wuerffel said.
"It was once ranked the worst neighbor-
hood in the country. We may have an op-
portunity to rebuild it in the way everyone
would want it to be."
In Katrina's -.ke, .the ministry has
assisted in relief efforts
with staff scattered
throughout the Gulf
Coast region. Wuerffel's
ministry is accepting
donations in anything
from temporary hous-
ing to Wal-Mart gift
cards. Information can
be found on the minis-
try's Web site at desirestreet.org. *
As for the university's $50,000 dona-
tion from the proceeds of Saturday's Pay-
Per-View broadcast of the Louisiana Tech
game and a substantial but undetermined
amount donated by alumni and fans,
Wuerffel remains grateful.
Currently, the ministry plans to re-
establish its Desire Street Academy as a
satellite boarding school by Oct. 3. With
about 200 boys, Wuerffel estimates that
enrollment is about 30 to 50 percent of its
previous total, a number that grows daily
as children are found in shelters across the
region. -
Still, he remains anxious to return home
to New Orleans and aid in the arduous
rebuilding process but is uncertain how
much of a home he'll find there.
With his wife, Jessica, and their son,
Jonah, Wuerffel escaped to Natchez, Miss.,
where they weathered the storm before
traveling to Destin. But the family's home,
located in New Orleans' Lakeview area
.near the breached 17th Street Canal levee,
was likely destroyed by floodwaters.
"We saw our neighbor's house in a
photo, and it was up to the roof with
flooding," Wuerffel said. "So we can only
assume it's the same for ours."
Still, Wuerffel said he remains grate-
ful to Godfor. sparing his family and has
emerged with a new and better under-
standing of the difference between want
and need.
"We've got nothing, but we have ev-
erything we need," Wuerffel said. "I've
got my wife, my son. We've got food and
shelter, and we feel fortunate to have that
because many people don't."

Two top forwards suffer injuries
By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer
Megan Kerns and Jasmine
Johnson two of UF's top of-
fensive threats are currently
battling injuries. One may
not return anytime soon.
From what was originally
-considered a preventative x-ray
for a banged-up knee, Burleigh
learned last week that Kerns, a
freshman, suffered a more seri-
ous meniscus tear.
"We hope that she'll be
back, we don't think it will
be for the rest of the season,"
Burleigh said. "Three to four,
maybe six weeks at the high
end."
Johnson, the team leader
in goals and points, under-
went a precautionary MRI on
Tuesday.
High-class humor
When the No. 7 freshman
soccer class in the country
came to UF, the upperclass-
men wasted little time making
hazing plans.
In what has become a
tradition for the UF soccer
program, the returning play-
ers invited the newcomers to
a formal welcome back dinner
at the Holloway Touchdown
Terrace on August 23.
It turned out that only the
freshmen had to abide by a
dress code.
"The welcome back din-
ner they told us was a dressy
affair, so we all came in our
spiffy outfits and it was actu-
ally just a nice dinner where
you can just wear jeans and a
sweatshirt," freshman Ameera
Abdullah said.
Rather than trying to re-
taliate, Abdullah and the other
freshmen decided to take the
high road.
"We've learned that if you
try back at them, then you will
only get it ten times worse,"
Abdullah said. "So we just
laughed at it."
Coach Becky Burleigh took
the same approach, turning
the other cheek to the practi-
cal joke.
"I know nothing of that,"
Burleigh joked.
Battle for keeper
The goalkeeper competition
heated up over the weekend in
Notre Dame, Ind., as starter
Jen Gardner took a seat on the
bench near the end of a 5-0 win
over Connecticut.
The substitution snapped
Gardner's string of 927 min-
utes and nine seconds as the
only goalkeeper in net for UF,
dating back to 2004.
Tim Casey/ Alligator
Freshman soccer star Megan Kerns (orange) suffered a meniscus tear in the season opener
that is worse than initially expected. Kerns could miss up to six weeks of action.
Brittni Goodwin, who start-
ed 24 games in 2003 and eight
in 2004, played the final five
minutes and made a pair of
saves to preserve the shutout.
"I think that was a very
difficult situation that she
had to go into," Burleigh said.
"UConn was definitely on the
attack and she was tested from
the second she got in and did
very well."
Even with the game in
hand, Burleigh wanted to
reward Goodwin with some
playing time earlier in the.
game.
"She's had a couple of
great weeks of practice,"
Burleigh said. "I think she's
going to come in and push Jen
[Gardner] for playing time."
Team effort
The Gators nearly turned
in a total team effort against
Connecticut as 20 players re-
corded time in the one-sided
match.
"As far as being able to
continually rotate players and
keep the level up, that's our
ideal situation," Burleigh said.
"As long as the level is staying
.constant or even going up be-
cause of fresh legs, we're going
to continue to do that."
The UF roster stands at 31,
but minus injuries and NCAA
restrictions, only 26 were eli-
gible to play on Sunday.
Honors
Three Gators earned All-
Tournament honors at The
Inn at Saint Mary's Soccer
Classic last weekend, includ-
ing Gardner, who was named
the goalkeeper MVP.
The senior recorded nine
combined saves against No.
1 Notre Dame and No. 19
Connecticut.
Johnson and Ananda
Erickson also made the team
as" midfielders. Erickson was
named to the All-Tournament
team at the preseason
Westfield Cup.

UF CROSS COUNTRY
Coach preps runners for 2005
By BRIAN STEELE
Alligator Writer
The temperature will not be the
only thing rising at the University
Golf Course on Friday morning
- so will the expectations for the
UF cross country teams.
After finishing last season
ranked No. 26 by MONDO and
receiving their first automatic bid
to the NCAA Championship in
seven years, the men's team will
start its season off with the Gator
Invitational, and the women with
the Mountain Dew Invitational.
Coach Jeff Pigg, who has im-
proved each team's standing during
his tenure, is building a program
that is now looking to make the next
step toward national contention.
"On the men's side we return
a really strong group," Pigg said.
"This year is a completely different
team. The chemistry is a lot different
... I think this may be the best men's
team I've had in 16 years talent-wise
and attitude-wise."
Although so much talent returns
for both teams,, some runners are
forced to grow up faster than others
and take on the leadership roles..
"Jamie [Geissler] transferred
from Texas A&M," Pigg said. "She
was at Texas A&M 10 days before
school started last year, so that was a
pretty quick move to be here and hit
the ground running. She did a nice
job and was our No. 1 runner every
meet last year. It's time for her to be
a leader. I need her to step up a little
more and I know she wants that."
Although Pigg may be improv-
ing UF's talent level, that is not
necessarily his greatest strength as a
coach or recruiter.
"We need to be in the top
20 every year."
Jeff Pigg
UF cross country coach
"The people Coach recruited is
why we've gotten so much better,"
sophomore Kristen Johnson said.
"He doesn't just pick his runners as
athletes because of just being a good
runner, but [he picks them] because
of their personality. They have more
depth than just being a good runner.
He's really done a good job recruit-
ing the right kind of people for our
team." -
Not only- has Pigg recruited the
right type of people, he's one of
the few coaches in the nation that
has a cross country head coaching
position.
"[Having our own individual
coach] has really helped because a
lot of people overlook cross coun-
try," Johnson said. "Now that we
have someone that is just focusing
on us it makes us a little more im-
portant and more people [notice]
us."
The individualized attention has
also allowed the Gators to be more
motivated and allow the coaching
staff to better learn how to help each
athlete.
"Given some time, [Pigg] learns
and puts together something that
best suits you," junior Shane Stroup
said.
"Coach is all about character and
he wants to motivate you and that
motivation makes you want to go
out there and work harder. They're
going to notice that we have a cross
country team this time and know
that we're going to be a team to beat
at nationals."
As the season progresses,
Johnson feels that UF will get some
well-deserved respect around the
nation.
"I think people are going to
be saying good things," she said.
"I think we've got a really great
team. We've got a lot of talent and
I think we're going to shock a lot of
people."
For Pigg, the goal is simple.
"We need to be in the top 20 ev-
ery year," he said.

the independent florida Not officially associated withthte University of Florida Published by Camps communications, Inc of Gainesville, Floida We Inform. You Decide. Recycle, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 STUDENTGoVERNMENT $1.5m may go to Union WOrUk By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@atligator.org A $1.5 million state allocation to renovate UF's dilapidated Bandshell venue likely will be diverted to Reitz Union upkeep. "If the Bandshell doesn't get renovated, it probably never will be, and it's going to just end up being a pile of rubble," Student Government Productions Chairman Joey Van de Bogart said. Due to "extreme termite damage," the venue has not been fit to hold concerts since last Spring, though it has been deteriorating for a couple of years, he said. Van de Bogart said the Bandshell, located on Flavet Field near Hume Hall, is a good venue because of its free, almost limitless admission and open atmosphere. "Historically, we would put on almost all of our shows out there because it was free," he said. Student Body President Joe Goldberg said this is not the end of the Bandshell. "It's definitely going to be renovated," he said. "It's just a matter of when the money comes in." The $1.5 million was part of a tuition-funded Capital Investment Trust Fund that the state disburses to public universities every three to five years. A committee of students and administrators prioritized the Bandshell, but the re-allocation will circumvent student input and go straight to the Board of Trustees, UF's highest governing body. The board will vote on the issue at its Friday meeting. The bulk of the money will go to refurbishing the Rion Ballroom in the Reitz Union, Goldberg said. Reitz Union Director Mike Mironack said the ballroom could use new chairs, better d6cor and resurfaced floors. "When the Grand (Ballroom) is not available, they express their disappointment because the Rion is considered the 'old ballroom,"' Mironack said. He said the union's most immediate needs, however, are new sewer lines and elevator pistons, which would cost about $200,000. One of four sewer lines disintegrated last year. Mironack said if all four Gom fail, the Reitz student body Union Food president Court will shut down. Goldberg suggested that another portion of the Bandshell allocation go to the Student Activities Center on the third floor of the Reitz Union. "We have student organizations that are in line to get office space, and we don't have the facilities to provide that to them," Goldberg said. However, of the 18 organizations that have office space in the center, non-UF group Florida Blue Key and the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Affairs occupy 63.3 percent of that space. Eight other groups work out of cubicles. Center Director Chris Cupoli said equal distribution of space is not a priority for the committee that allocates it. "I don't know that 'evenly' is what we need," Cupoli said. "One of the things they consider SEE CITF, PAGE 8 John Canzio rides his scooter home after class. Graham Hunley/ Alligator With gas prices rising, scooters are increasing in popularity among students. Gas hIke ups scooter sales By KARI M. TARR Alligator Contributing Writer High gas prices may be driving students to find alternative means of transportation as scooter sales swell and riders crowd city buses. Streit's Motorsports, a Gainesville dealership, saw a jump in beginning-of-semester sales compared to last year. While scooter sales during the first week of school made up about 15 percent of its total revenue last year, this semester they made up almost 30 percent. "Gas prices are definitely a concern with customers who buy scooters," said Frank Curtis, sales manager at Streit's. "I think fuel prices have not only sparked an interest in new riders, but it has rekindled the desire of people who have ridden before." Solano Cycle, a scooter dealership located on Southwest 34th Street, has seen a 50-percent increase in sales compared to the same ine period last year, store Manager Steve Edwards said. Some dealerships that have seen roughly the same sales as last year are noticing a trend in the types of customers who buy scooters. "Last year 100 percent of our business came from students, and this year about 30 or 40 percent came from people just tired of spending money getting to work," said Justin Jackrel, partner at New Scooters 4 Less. Students who do not own scooters have the option of using the Regional Transit System to combat high gas prices, since bus fare is included as part of UF tuition costs and free with a Gator 1 Card. Student But this alternative to higher fuel Life prices has the potential to increase future costs of riding the bus. On the first day of classes this semester, 53,844 riders used the bus system, an increase of 462 passengers over last year's first day of school, RTS spokeswoman Theresa Harrison said. Whether this increase is the effect of an increase in the number of students enrolled or higher gas prices is unknown. RTS, which uses 4,000 gallons of diesel fuel per day, has no plans to increase costs to riders in the inmediate future. "We are identifying alternative vendors, and we are hopeful that we will have the necessary fuel to provide the level of service that RTS has been providing," Harrison said. 7 With "Hey wingnut!" and "Truth not Spin" emblazoned on its caravan, the tour inspired by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan arrived in Gainesville on Wednesday.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 I ALLIGATOR, 3 F7s weco-s L4ho s std nsi G.rs'i By CASSIDY MILLS Alligator Contributing Writer New UF students got lessons in school spirit and some comic relief Wednesday night as the university brought a college-humor comedian to perform at the fourth annual Gatorfest pep rally. The Dean of Students Office and Student Government sponsored the event at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center, though they usually bring a band to perform. Gatorfest is part of the Weeks of Welcome program designed to orient first-year and transfer students to UF, as well as welcome back all returning students. Director of Campus Programs Beth Waltrip helped plan the event. "This is a program to introduce our new students to campus traditions," Waltrip said. "When they go to Preview, they get academic information but no rah-rah stuff." At Gatorfest students practiced UF's traditional cheers led by the marching band and spirit teams. Comedian and humor columnist Steve Hofstetter also provided entertainment. Waltrip said in forgoing the usual musical fare, SG booked a comedian to ofUF swimmers Ryan Lochte and Justin Zumsteg open Gatorfest, an event introducing new students to campus life and traditions. fer a performance to students that would be more universally entertaining. He was paid $3,000. Academic, athletic and student leaders also spoke at the event. Student Body President Joe Goldberg was one of the first to speak about his Gator pride. "People do not refer to themselves as going to the University of Florida. They refer to themselves as Gators," Goldberg said. That is a trait people recognize all over the nation, he said. UF men's basketball coach Billy Donovan also spoke. "This is a very, very special place. Being part of this institution means something," Donovan said. "We have the greatest student body in the United States of America." UF President Bernie Machen announced that in addition to being a pep rally, Gatorfest was also the kickoff for the volunteer campaign that organizers hope results in 100 million minutes of community service by students and Alachua County residents. The event involves UF's Center for Leadership and Service in the Division of Student Affairs, SFCC and the Volunteer Center of Alachua County. After encouraging students to volunteer, Machen voiced his pride in UF's student body. "From my perspective the best part of the University of Florida is you, the students," he said. Kayla Shinneman, a first-year nursing student at UF, attended Wednesday night's event. "Gatorfest was so much fun," Shinneman said. "It really is great to be a Florida Gator."

4, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 By TIM HUSSIN Alligator Contributing Writer UF's hurricane-relief program is growing this week with a holistic effort between the Center for Leadership and Service and Student Government. The Gator hurricane-relief effort is a student-driven initiative headed by the center and SG and supported by university administration, faculty and students. The short-term goal of the effort will be to concentrate on emergency needs, while long-term goals include creating a mentoring program for Tulane University and Loyola University students who now.attend UF The program's game-day donation drive brought in about $16,000 Saturday "Last weekend the generosity of the Gators was amazing," said Jared Hernandez, SG hurricane-relief coordinator. "We nearly surpassed the initial goal of $20,000 and for this reason are extending it to $40,000." To avoid the complications the Navy ROTC experienced Saturday, he said all student organizations that wish to help in the relief effort must register for a permit online at www.dso.ufl.edu/ gatorrelief. University Police may ask those without pennits to leave campus. The campaign will inform and encourage the student body to help in all ways possible. Hernandez said he will propose a bill in the Student Senate next Tuesday to release funds from SG reserves to fund the hurricane relief effort, which will go toward materials and supplies for upcoming fundraising events. Student Body President Joe Goldberg has authorized the use of SG executive funds to pay for these events, he said. "Last weekend the generosity of the Gators was amazing." Jared Hernandez SG hurricane-relief coordinator The GatorNation Can Food Drive will start early this year, and students will have the opportunity to donate essentials. "Items that are desperately needed include things like granola bars, fruit cups, cereal and any other food items that do not require cooking or a can opener for consumption," wrote student manager Alana Rush in an e-mail. Students also are encouraged to participate in the Cards of Hope Program during Saturday's game in which they can put their thoughts, hopes and prayers on cards to be delivered to victims in hurricane shelters. The Gator Spare Change Drive will take place during Gator Plunge, the kickoff of the center's community-service campaign, on Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon on the Plaza of the Americas. The proceeds will go to the American Red Cross. Hernandez said the relief effort is working on getting educators and leaders to speak at UF and inform the student body of the socioeconomic issues that surround the disaster. "This has gone from being big to biggerthan-big," Hernandez said. E ALACHUA COUNTY HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY HELPFUL. By CRYSTAL HENRY Alligator Writer chenry@alligator.org With many people clinging to life because of Hurricane Katrina, Southerners are reaching out to help them by donating the very thing that keeps them alive -blood. Donations have increased by 50 percent overall in Georgia, Alabama and Florida, said Carolyn Quintanilla, LifeSouth Community Blood Centers' district director. On Aug. 30, the day after Katrina hit New Orleans, 67 people donated blood in Birmingham, Ala.; 43 donated in Atlanta; and 119 donated in Alachua County. Tuesday, donations rose to 128 in Birmingham, 100 in Atlanta and 169 in Alachua County, she said. Quintanilla said community blood centers like LifeSouth contribute to about half the nation's blood donations. The American Red Cross contributes about 40 to 45/percent, and H ra the other 5 to 10 perHKarie cent is from military installations. Patients from southem Alabama and Mississippi have been relocated to hospitals in Atlantaand Birmingham, she said. Last week, LifeSouth imported blood to them from Orlando and Tampa. Quintanilla said although donations have increased, "I would still encourage people to donate." Hurricanes usually don't create blood needs, but donation centers such as The Blood Center in New Orleans can't collect or process donations right now, and they have to rely on other centers for blood, she said. Many people wondered what they could do to help in this time of crisis besides just giving money, Quintanilla said. "This definitely gives people a way to make a difference," she said. She said traditionally 25 percent of LifeSouth's donations come from students, and the number of donations declines significantly when school is out. Donors must be at least 17 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds.

6,ALLIGATORUTHURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,2005 Student Government fumbles with funds he Editorial Board is all sweaty from discussing today's topic. Before we begin, however, we just need something to dry off our hard, pulsing pecs. Ah yes, hand us that $50,000 towel. Mnm. Feels like the fluffy thread of incompetence. At Tuesday's Student Senate meeting, senators passed the first version of a bill allocating that amount to the buying and laundering of 15,000 towels for the Southwest Recreation Center. Apparently, their foremost reason is that UF students are dirty hippies. Or in Gator Party President Laura Gonzalez's words, "It's kind of gross that they keep wiping down the machines with a towel they have not washed." We have a brilliant idea: Why doesn't SG use that money for a huge public-relations campaign for hygiene? We can see it now. SG officials will hand out toothbrushes and deodorant to all the students on Turlingtun Plaza. Joe Goldberg will smile in TV commercials as he pumps iron and then wipes off the seat with a golden towel. But wait. SG already launched a campaign advertising those clean and professional student officials. And they spent $67,000 on it. In fact SG has been spontaneously spending a lot of money this past year. During the sumer it contributed $115,000 to lower ticket prices for students attending Phillips Center for the Perfoming Arts events. A few months ago $340,000 of students' Activity & Service fees landed in the bank account of Gator Growl, because the event was underfunded by organizer Florida Blue Key. And many other bills for smaller amounts blazed through the Senate without a look back. Where does most of this money come from? Reserves. That's not money budgeted. It's not all part of the annual plan. It doesn't come from the fees you paid last year. It all comes from the fees students have paid in the past. It's money saved for a rainy day, or for large, planned-out projects. It's not for SG to fritter away like a child in a candy store. The towel debacle is just the latest in a string of ignorant bills. We'd rather those funds be spent on the USA Today readership program. Then everyone could ignore the reports of SG incompetence by reading national papers. Sure, all these projects are ice. We'd love to have free towels when we go to the gym. Cheap theater sounds nice. A grand Gator Growl is an excuse to get wasted and school-spirited. Hey, while we're at it why don't we all wipe our behinds with $20 bills? Slow down all you young, eager politicians. It's OK to give treats to the student body sometimes, but you have to work up to it. Are all of these expenditures going to be added to next year's annual budget? Or is this kind of reckless spending going to be robbed constantly from reserves? Either way it sounds expensive. More troubling than these student-aimed withdrawals are funds taken from our reserve vault to cushion SG officials' lives. Last year they spent almost $6,000 ona banquet for themselves. And almost every year the Senate passes a bill that takes thousands of dollars from reserves to fund a trip to a leadership conference for SG officials. It goes on their resumes and provides them with prominent mentors. How many student organizations get that kind of treatment? But the Editorial Board doesn't think those in SG mean to be so blatantly irresponsible in spending students' money. They must be a little dim. After all, who would spend $50,000 on towels? 11indpe flrida aligato Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

U ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions \ Get co fuun Leader of free world should be elfte omething truly fascinates everyone about the president's "recreational labors." Every time Bush travels to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, we are assailed with countless images of the president occupying himself with mundane tasks such as clearing brush, repairing fence posts, etc. These blatant attempts at showing Bush as a simple manof-the-people are ridiculous and not just because they're performed in front of thousands of video cameras on the 1,583-acre ranch the president owns. No, they're ridiculous because they send the wrong message, and it's a message that's all the more dangerous for its popularity. The idea that the most powerful man in the world is a mere average American, a simple man who enjoys simple tasks, is exactly the wrong idea the president needs to be sending to the American people. At what point did mediocrity become acceptable? At what point did we decide average was the goal? But as much as the raging liberal in me wants to blame President Bush for, well, pretty much everything, that's clearly unfair. The strains of anti-intellectualism and anti-elitism that infect this country are virulent, and the president is neither the cause of the sickness nor its most odious symptom. Of course the president deserves a great deal of criticism for his attitude. Bragging about being a C student in college is hardly admirable rhetoric. And perhaps more than any other president, Bush embraces the perception of simplicity with astonishing passion. But this is an entirely bipartisan phenomenon. During the2004 election John Kery tried to show his normalcy by arranging a number of photo-ops that showed him hunting, shotgun in hand. They mostly succeeded in Andrew Bare propelling Kerry to a level of silliness Speaking Out heretofore considered to be a purely theoretical construct of chemists and physicists. American elections too often degenerate into a depressing contest to see which candidate can best emulate your nextdoor.neighbor. But contests for important leadership positions shouldn't be a matter of which candidate would make the best next-door neighbor, and I don't say that because my next-door neighbor back home is a sullen man who ogles my older sister when she washes her car. No, it's a matter of the stakes being too high to entrust the upper levels of our government to average men and women. This country, for all its faults, is the pre-eminent power for good in the world today This is Athens. This is Rome. This is Camelot. This country is too important to be run by the average. It needs the best of the best. The elite. The man elected president is the commander in chief of the most powerful military force since the Roman legions. The man elected president is a mediator for international situations where millions of lives are at stake. Do you want that man to be average? Our leaders should speak to us with words that inspire thoughts of greatness, that urge us not to settle for anything less than brilliance. Instead, they too often speak of their similarity to us. We don't need men drawn from the ranks of the ordinary. We need men who have risen to the ranks of the extraordinary. But before that can happen, we need men willing to say they are extraordinary.

THURSDAY, SE13TEMBER 8, 2005EM ALLIGATOR, 7 SG funds towels, leaves cabinets poor I am appalled that the leaders of Student Government have initially passed a bill to spend nearly $50,000 funding the purchase and laundering of towels at recreational facilities. Conversely, the SG Cabinet, an organization I was fortunate enough to represent, is given a mere $35,000 annually to operate 41 cabinets, each of which provides the student body with useful programs. It doesn't seem fiscally responsible that while gym-goers are able to keep dry, the efforts of the SNAP transportation system, tutoring centers and community-service initiatives are barely supporting themselves. Well, at least Goldberg & Co. will have something to wipe their brow with when the student population demands answers.

It responsibility Kyle Fronin 3FIN New Orleans evacuation a local issue I would love to know just how President Bush should be held responsible for the evacuation of New Orleans. The Alligatorobviously has the answer since it stated in Wednesday's editorial that"President Bush and New Orleans officials failed in evacuating the city properly, resulting in the poorest factions being left behind." The president has many duties, but organizing citywide evacuations isn't one of them. A competent person would know that the first responders in an emergency-like this are at the local and state levels. Ina natural disaster like Hurricane Katrina, the president's roll is generally restricted to declaring disaster areas so victims can get grants and low-interest loans to rebuild, deploying FEMA and visiting victims for moral support. Blame most definitely needs to be shouldered by someone, but the last person who should be blamed for the incompetence in New Orleans is President Bush.

8, ALLIGATOR l THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,2005 By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org Chairmanship of UF's highest governing body, the Board of Trustees, will be up for grabs Friday, but the man in the top spot is expected to keep his position. "We will likely re-elect Manny Fernandez to the chair," said board member Dianna Morgan. Fernandez, who was appointed to the board in 2001, was elected chairman in 2003. Board committees will meet Thursday in Emerson Alumni Hall, and the 13member board will meet in full Friday. Fernandez said one of the board's primary goals is to kick off a capital campaign within the next year and review recent staff selections made by Provost Janie Fouke to ensure UF is moving toward its goal of becoming a Top 10 pubhc research university. T h e b o a r d also will examine UF's relief Fernandez efforts for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, which already include opening classroom doors to affected students and raising $75,000 from pay-per-view revenue of the UF vs. Wyoming football game to donate to the American Red Cross. Fernandez said aside from relief efforts, the content of the 682-page agenda for the two days of meetings is pretty typical. "There's nothing very controversial in this board meeting at all," Fernandez said. "The university is running very, very well." Other items on the agenda include the start of a self-assessment of UF's compliance with NCAA standards and a review of the university's outreach programs to high schools with high concentrations of minority students. Fouke also is expected to discuss the characteristics of UF's growing population, which stands at nearly 49,000. Officials differ on ways to spend state funds CITF from page 1 is the size of the organization and the amount of programs they do for the university." The priority of other recipients was not the only factor in the trust fund's diversion. After receiving the allocation, UF officials announced that a "state-of-the-art, premiere" Bandshell renovation would require $5 million, Goldberg said. But Van de Bogart said that "any sort of renovations to the Bandshell would be greatly needed." The venue's condition has limited the scope of UF's performances in the past. The Roots were scheduled to play at UF in Fall 2003, but the show was canceled because the Bandshell's roof leaked too much rain, Van de Bogart said. He said the most memorable Bandshell show was a concert Outkast put on several years ago. "People tell me stories like it's this old myth," he said, "the greatest show Student that's ever gone to U. Supposedly, it was like a sea of people, and it was right before Outkast really blew up." Goldberg said the decision made was in UF students' best interest. "On a day-to-day, week-to-week basis, the Rion Ballroom is going to get more usage than the Bandshell," he said. By KIMBERLY GOUZ Alligator Contributing Writer As Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. closes two local stores and Albertson's, Inc. officials consider selling the company, Gainesville welcomes its 12th Publix supermarket. The new Publix, at 5200 SW 34th St., opens today at 8 a.m. with offerings of samples in each department, coupons and a free coffee mug to the first 1,000 customers. The 39,000-square-foot store will anchor the Shoppes of Williston Road, located on the corner of Southwest 34th Street and Williston Road, a new center that also will include Supercuts, Williston Liquors, China Wok and NY Nails. Chemical engineering sophomore Corene Cano said she is a frequent shopper at the Publix on Archer Road because of its proximity to her apartment. "I will probably continue to shop at the Butler Plaza Publix because I don't have a car," Cano said. "But if distance were not an issue, I would like to take advantage of the deals at Albertson's or try this new Pubhix." Cano, who said she sometimes makes the trek to Albertson's on Archer Road for the store's 10 for $10 sales, was surprised to hear the company may be going on sale. "It's strange; they have really good prices," she said. Albertson's -has been receiving intense competition from Wal-Mart and other chains, according to The New York Times. Friday, the company announced on its Web site it "is exploring strategic alternatives to increase shareholder value, including a possible sale of the company." Albertson's has two locations in Gainesville, and company spokesman Sh ane McEntarffer said there are no plans to close the stores. "We enjoy serving the Gainesville market and the college students." Shane McEntarffer Albertsons spokesman "We enjoy serving the Gainesville market and the college students," McEntarffer said. Junior SamAhuja saidhe doesn't "id shopping at Albertson's hut he prefers Publix and plans to shop at the new location. "Even though I don't think our small town needs 12 various Publix locations, I am glad to know that if there is a food emergency, I will not have to travel five minutes but only two minutes to satisfy my ravenous hunger," he said. Publix spokesman Dwaine Stevens said the new store will mark the chain's 856th location. "We feel this location is going to be very well-accepted and supported," he said.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 9 By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org With "Hey wingnut!" and "Truth not Spin" emblazoned on its caravan, the tour arrived in Gainesville on Wednesday. Cindy Sheehan made national news last month when she publicly asked President Bush why her son died in Iraq. Her passion helped fuel the Bring Them Home Now Tour, a group of activists, family members of soldiers and Veterans speaking out to oppose the war across the country. the South Bus Tour visited the Civic Media Center on West University Avenue, where Gold Star Families for Peace member Julie Cuniglio spoke about her nephew Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Aaron Dean White. White died along with two others on May 19,2003, when their helicopter crashed near Al Hillah, Iraq. Cuniglio said her family is a bunch of Army brats, but she is against the war. "The problem is the whole country has been lied to," she said. Students who sign up for the military to ea money for college simply "get what they put in," she said. Soldiers on active duty can get up to $70,000 to pay for college. Soldiers in the Army Reserve can get up to $22,000, according to www.goarmy.com. "There's nobody in Iraq going to college," Cuniglio said. Military Families Speak Out member Phil Waste, of Hinesville, Ga., has three sons and two grandchildren who have spent a total of 57 months on duty in Iraq, he said. He and his wife, Linda, met Sheehan. "There is nothing noble about this war," Linda Waste said. "This is an unjust war. It is we the people who are making the sacrifice." Former Marine Staff Sgt. Jimmy Massey was part of the invasion of Iraq in January 2003 but was sent home after five months of service for voicing his distaste of the shootings of Iraqi civilians by American troops. "We're just calling everybody terrorists," he said. Massey said he saw a 4-year-old Iraqi girl with a bullet hole in her head. "You can't take it back," he said. But he said this tour is helping hinm. "I sold my soul to the Marine Corps a long time ago," he said. "Every time I speak out, I gain a little bit of my soul back."

the THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 By JACQUELINE DAVISON Avenue Writer Many Floridians are familiar with the pain caused, by Hurricane Katrina. Most have been through at least one devastating storm. This empathy for stormvictimspromoted an outpouring of action in Gainesville from the grassroots up within the local artist and music communities, breeding several charitable events, including Tumthe Tide 2 and a telethon sponsored by. cal radio station 100.5 The, Buzz. "We're not paramedics, We're not escue people, but this is what we do, and we're going to help in the way we do," said Carrie Westmark, one of the organizers of Turn the Tide 2, a silent auction to benefit the Red Cross. The original Tum the Tide event occurred in January for tsunani victims. Local, national and international artists' works were auctioned off, raising more than$20,000 for the Red Cross. Within days of Hurricane Katrina's wrath, Westmar k and Lauren Garber, both faculty members at UF's School of Art and Art History; chose to sequel the event with another one directed toward helping Katrina's victims. "We decided Wednesday, found our location on Thursday and then Saturday Melissa Munkel/ Alligator "Totally Hot" Leigh Scott speaks about the upcoming telethon, hosted by 100.5, The Buzz. Every pledge receives merchandise from local or national bands. sent out the e-mails that night," Garber said."We just thought people would recognize it as a successful event. I think people's hearts and minds are in the right place even though it is difficult." Turn the Tide 2 will take place at WARPHaus Art Gallery, located at 818 NW First Ave., on Sept. 11 from 6 to 8: 30 p.m. In addition to artwork gift certificates have been donated from places like Scissors Salon, Emiliano's, Salon LaDiDa, Video Rodeo and No Future Records. "We're hoping around the same amount of items, and we're hoping for equal if not greater donations," Garber said. "I think it's the grassroots that really seem to play a major role in this crisis." This same grassroots philosophy is shared with "Totally Hot" Leigh Scott, promotions manager .for Sunshine Broadcasting and 100.5 The Buzz DJ. Scott has worked hard to develop the following it now has. "At one point we had T-shirts thrown back at us," Scott said. "We're at the point where we can do local and charity events without thinking about it." After watching the disaster on TV, Scott knew he had to do something to help. "These people are totally screwed," he said "There's 90,000 square miles of damage'That's incomprehensible." The Buzz will be holding a telethon Friday from 6 a.m. to midnight, complete with items donated from Pennywise, Bad Region, Epitaph Records, Fat Wreck Chords, No Idea Records, Audio Outlet and more. Local band Against Me! donated merchandise to the cause; vocalist Tom Gabel called Scott 20 minutes before opening for Green Day. "They're donating some of their first 7-inches. They fetch upwards of $1,000 on eBay. He said $300 to $400, but I think he was being modest." Garber, Westmark and Scott have had little to no sleep, trying to get these events together as soon as possible. All three are eager for locals to get involved. "I think it's really important that we focus on the good things we can do and nIot on the negative political scene that's, 0 erupted in the last few days," Garber said. "Everyone has been very supportive; I just think Gainesville is that kind of town." While the first Turn the Tide came together in eight days, Garber and Westmark had 10 days to prepare this time around. "It's an opportunity for our community to really lean on each other," Garber said. "After the auction, connections will happen between people, and this is an opportunity for people to help immediately and hopefully do something greater later on."

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 ALLIGATOR, 11 In lesser hands "The Constant Gardener" would be a convoluted mess -a thriller posing as an infomercial sponsored by the Green Party. Instead, with Oscar-worthy cinematography and direction combined with a star turn by the leading man, "The Constant Gardner" takes the lead for best film of the year. Through a series of flashbacks, we learn that Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) is a British diplomat to a poor African nation. A shy and deliberate man, he has been chosen to read a prepared speech to a group of students about British foreign policy. There he meets Tessa (Rachel Weisz), a quick-witted and extremely confrontational young woman who braves the crowd to openly criticize British policy. Feeling embarrassed by the situation, she is comforted by Justin. This leads to a strange romance between the two: a melding of the ultimate type 2 personality with a type 1. Before long, he is summoned to work in Kenya. Insisting on going with him, Tessa hastily convinces Justin to marry her. In Africa, she throws herself into aiding the poor while he constantly spends his free time in the garden. Soon, along with an African doctor Arnold Bluhm (Hubert Kounde), she becomes involved in a highly secretive investigation involving a drug company called 3 Bee testing its drugs on unaware Africans hoping to get simple treatment. She is seen as a nuisance to the African government and drug companies, who are close to each Brian other. They put pressure on Justin to Offenther rein her in, which only leads to arguReel Life ments between the couple. theaveue aiFgtor.org As I said before, this is all learned by flashbacks. What is learned earlier in the film is that Tessa has died. I'd like to tell you more: the apparent affair, the consptr_ acies, the murders, but that would be spilling too much.

Forgive my lack of expletive or adjective. There is just no other way to say it in a review this size. This 3,000-plus page book is about a number of huge subjects: violence, hate, love, class, race, sex, gender, desire, freedom, tyranny -the whole kit 'n caboodle. Vollman's novel is almost impossible to fully digest, at least after a single reading, largely due to its sheer length. Over the course of seven volumes -a project that took 17 years to research and write -Vollman proposes and charts a calculus in relation to humankind's intrinsic and intricate relationship to violence -as both victim and aggressor -during the past several millennia. James Fleming He suggests Off the Press something of heavenue@aligator.org an answer to the question of when -violence is and is not justifiable. Vollman also reports on and from various international hotspots such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Colombia, places where he saw violence and death firsthand and nearly died himself. So what is Vollman's ultimate conclusion? It's hardly a surprise: Violence is and always will be pointless and mutually inevitable. Our entire history, Yollman argues, has been. one of violence and trauma, death and destruction. "Rising Up and Rising Down" is magnificently written, incredibly well-assembled and tremendously wide-ranging. It's the kind of book you make a project of and find yourself turning over and over in your head long after you've read it. This is not to say the book is perfect. At certain points Vollman's arguments and examples seem highly subjective and a bit too Western-oriented. But what else can we reasonably expect? How can he not align himself, at least to some measure, to one party or another? This tome is well worth the investment it requires. If you have any interest in trying to figure out where we are and how we got here, take a look at it. If you're not up for reading the full-length version -if you are, give yourself at least two or three months -Ecco Press has released "Rising Up and Rising Down: Some Thoughts on Violence, Freedom and Urgent Means," a carefully abridged version of Vollman's seven volume set. trip

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 Z ALLIGATOR, 13 omic books are for kids. Try telling that to UF English professor Donald Ault and his graduate students who research comics. You'll be in for a surprise. Ault began teaching comics studies at the University of California, Berkeley in 1972. He brought his vision of the importance of comics scholarship to UF as the faculty adviser for the Graduate Comics Organization, the instructor of undergraduate courses studying comics as narrative and the general editor of ImageTexT, an online peer review journal about comics theory and criticism. "I generally had to go against the grain of the institutions," Ault said in reference to his troubles defending the importance of comics studies. "When I got here there was already so much interest in this kind of thing." Ault works with doctoral candidates researching a variety of topics including, but not limited to, comics. "I think what we're trying to do here is a theoretically sound but also culturally relevant, study that allows for a lot of different approaches," said Tof Eklund, a graduate student who compares alternative comics like Craig Thompson's "Blankets" to the caricatures of Honor6 Daumier. "I came to UF because it is the best place if you want to study comics. We're tops." Trena Houp studied English and children's literature at UF as an undergraduate and is using that background to study wordless text, the relationship of image and text, and that relationship in comics. "I get to bring in all these different avenues to explore my own theoretical approaches to the text that I look at," Houp said. "I like that here at UF we have the freedom to do that, that we have all these resources available to us." Resources like the Sol Davidson Collection, located in Smathers Library Special Collections, house a large number of "Big Little Books," Victorian-age comics, and the first Dick Tracy and Mickey Mouse comics. But for some graduate students, the decision to study comics at UF was much simpler. "I shamelessly took my personal interests and let them become my research interests," said Phil Sandifer, another of Ault's students. "I read superhero comics and play video games. I realize that I could actually study these and make some sort of strange career talking about comic books Karolena and video games." Bielecki But you don't Get Graphic have to be a gradutheavenue@alligator.org ate student to get involved with comics at UE On Feb. 24 and 25, UF will host the Fourth Annual University of Florida Comics Conference themed "Comics and Childhood." Guests include Bill Willingham, -writer of "Fables," and Nate Powell, author of "Tiny Giants." The event is free and open to the public. For undergraduates with a passion for comics, Ault is looking for enthusiastic students interested in joining the Florida Undergraduate Comics Club and upperclassmen who may be interested in writing reviews for ImageTexT.

"I think that it's basically artists, grassroots and making a connection here," Garber said. Originally from Gainesville and growing up in a household that routinely helped charities, Scott is eager to get the community involved. "I know our listeners don't have a lot.of money, but we have a lot of listeners. We can all do a little bit," Scott said. Even if someone isn't able to help right now, raising awareness is a big part of it, he said. "I didn't have $100, but I did it," he said. "People should save their money they spent on The Brothers Grimm because that was the worst movie I've ever seen.

14, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 RESTAURANT REVIEW Jazzy style, dim ights create tasteful ambiance njoying a fine slice of Italy doesn't take a passport, $800 plane ticket or trip across the Atlantic. Locals have been following their stomachs down U.S. Highway 441 -south to the Blue Highway Pizzeria or north to Ristorante di Deneno -two great Italian restaurants in the small towns surrounding Gainesville. In Micanopy owner Winny Ruffino sees many Gainesville residents enter her Blue Highway, a charming, casual diner with an eclectic flair and a boastful claim. "We have the best pizza in America," Ruffino said. And after my first bite of the chicken cattiatore pizza, I was a believer. The thin, non-greasy crust wasn't chewy -it crunched. Atop mozzarella and asiago cheeses, toppings were stacked generously: chicken, tomatoes, onions, green and red peppers, mushrooms and oregano. It was the right hodgepodge of ingredients and taste, magnified by a fresh salad and a yrunmy slice of homemade Key lime pie. All of Blue Highway's sauces, salad dressings, pizza dough and bread are made in-house by Winny's husband and one-time UF executive chef, Frank Ruffino. Additionally, the restaurant's colorful walls support the town's local artists. North of U.S. 441 in Alachua, is a more upscale and sophisticated dining experience than the cozy, family-op era ted Blue Highway. From the jazzy, chic decor to the dramatically dim lighting, from the open pizza kitchen to the live music, Deneno's entertaining atmosphere is reason enough why out-of-townhe ers venture to the restaurant. When the food arrived I found another explanation. A salad of garden greens, blueberries, gorgonzola cheese, mangos and roasted, sugChan Tran ar-glazed pecans News Bites with a mango vinavenue@alligator.org aigrette dressing burst with flavor. The darkly toasted pecans tasted deliciously sweet -like candy. I had the dinner special, a thick Ahi tuna steak with roasted garlicherb potatoes over a bed of light, sweet brown sauce. The fresh tuna was delicately tender and moist in taste and texture. I sampled my friend's Agnolotti al'Aragosta, lobster-filled ravioli in a white cream lobster sauce with a touch of fresh basil. As the pasta melted in my mouth, the lobster and rich creamy sauce enveloped -my taste buds. Finally, Deneno's dessert of warm banana, vanilla ice cream and bittersweet liqueur sauce sent me home happily satiated. The scenic drives to these Italian restaurants are perfect for weekend and evening trips. There is some distance to travel for great Italian, but you don't have to cross an ocean. n game days. more than 100,000 people surround Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.' Don't hate them for the turn signals they refuse to use or the trash they leave. Rejoice about the food they share. Southerners take pride in their hospitality, which means hungry students benefit. Why spend money on wings and beer when thousands of others already have? Strong bonds form around food, so don't think of helping yourself to a five-layer sub as mooching, but as building unity in the Gator Nation. Hugging a stranger after Chad Jackson receives another touchdown pass is -far more comfortable if you've already shared pleasantries over fried chicken. I suggest starting at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center parking lot. Hundreds of Bull Gators have reserved parking there for every game. These zealous donors already demonstrated their generosity and likely will share their bounty with you. If you've never seen shrimp at a tailgate, you are in for a quite a treat. Next, wave to the nice officers controlling traffic and walk to the houses north of the stadium. Look for large Diana Jo crowds with red cups, Godfrey bottles and burgers in Cheap Beat haid. Sweet tea is not theavenue@alligator.org the only sign of Southern goodness. Nod at the folks milling around the yard, and go inside for the goods. Everyone will assume you actually know someone, or they will be so caught up in football fervor, they won't notice you're there. Be prepared to exchange cheerful banter. Keep moving. Lingering at one ice chest for too long may provoke territorial glares. While it would be sweet to have a $600 grill that swivels and attaches to your hitch, cases of beverages stacked up ina closet, and High-schoo band rocks ara del Gato is different from other Gainesville bands. For starters they aren't quite from Gainesville. They're from Union County -one of Florida's "forgotten regions" about 45 miles outside the limits of the state's cultural and tourist attractions. "This is the closest music scene there is," said singer and guitarist Waylon Thornton. Secondly, the band members are still in high school. At 17, Cara del Gato's members aren't even old enough to go to shows at Common Grounds, which they've booked. But this hasn't stopped them from being accepted in the Gainesville scene. 'It's never been a problem for us, which I'm surprised about," Thornton said. Cara del Gato gained a foothold in Gainesville by promoting and playing a show for itselfs and other local bands at Tim & Terry's Music & More, 1417 NW First Ave., packing the venue with nearly 200 people. Thornton said he feels so comfortable here he's already decided that for him, Gainesville is the place to be. "I haven't even been all over. the world, and I already know it doesn't get much better than this," Thornton said. "You can live in Gainesville and never travel and still become one of the most cultured people around. "The band consists of Thornton and drummer Kyle Mattox. That's right, two people. Cara del Gato Matt Clear switches effortlessly between surf-pop, Playlist noisy Pixies-esque theavenue@alligator.org indie rock and crowd-pleasing singalongs. Their musical eclecticism isn't likely to end there, though. "There's no telling where the next direction's going to be. Probably something crazier," Mattoz'said. After finishingdrecording its debut album in September, the band is looking for new direction and new ideas. "As long as I'm living, Cars del Gato's gonna be going on," Thornton said. Cara del Gato will play at Hyde and Zeke's Records on Friday night. II START AT THE NATION'S LARGEST INDEPENDENT COLLEGE NEWSPAPER.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,2005 E ALLIGATOR, 15 PURPE PORPQI E Porp u 0 se sees last day; Mindtown opens doors By DANIELLE LUCEY Avenue Writer It's been a long, drawn-out death for the Purple Porpoise Pub-. After little less than 10 months at its new location, the doors will close on the 26-year-old Gainesville institution for good. A managerial change last month at the 919 W University Ave. location harmers the final nail in the Porpoise's coffin. In its place is a new bar-and-music venue dubbed Midtown has emerged. "In the past 10 months, it really dinhi't leave a mark like it did before," said Joe Lezcano, the venue's new manager. The previous location of the Purple Porpoise closed in the winter of 2002 with a candlelight vigil ceremony, that's right kids, for a bar. The location is open for business during the change over and even reached its 102-person capacity during the Gainesville Stumner and Film Showcase (aka MoeFest). Unlike the Porpoise, it will be closed most Sundays unless there is a show. Lezcano, a 25-year-old Gainesville resident since 1989, has a long resume filled with musical odds-and-ends jobs. This includes a two-year stint as The Skatalite's road manager, who he plans to bring to the club in April. "We want to make it a hcunble, laid-back place where everyone can enjoy themselves," Lezcano said. He likened the atmosphere of the Purple Porpoise to a frat or sports bar. "We pretty much want an old Common Grounds vibe without taking their crowd," he said. The changes Lezcano is implementing include stacking the tables in the bar when a band is playing to get maximum standing room and making the wall adjacent to University Avenue soundproof. Also, due to a potential change in zoning, Midtown might become eligible for a liquor license in November or December. After Christmas, Lezcano said he may open Midtown for lunch as well. For now he is trying to better the sound system and have hired a full-time sound guy instead of handling it behind the bar. Most of the people who worked at the Purple Porpoise are no longer employed there. Lezcano cleans, sets up the bar, orders beer, does paperwork and fliers for Midtown. His sister will help him bartend. He will be looking to hire in the future, he said, but for now Locals enjoyed music at Purple Porpoise, at various locations on University Avenue, for years before its final closing last month. Midtown has replaced the venue. it is a.

The cover charge will be beluxury of time to become a new "We want to stay true to the arttween $3 and $5, unless it's a speGainesville hotspot. After the lease ists," he said. "That's where a lot cial show. Gas blows bands' budgets; members must find creative loops to conserve cash G AS, from page 10 a gas-price and availability panic," she said. "People were nervous." But, she added, "Prices were lower on ouir retrun trip from Atlanta than they were on our way there, which is a fairly quick settling time." Swayze had planned to go on tour with Atlanta-based Jet by Day, but Jet by Day canceled its entire tour at the last minute due to the sudden change in gas prices. "Usually the way bands are going to budget that money is for gas and food," Zeigler said. "When there's a $1 or $2 rise in gas prices, that's food -gone." While many bands might be deterred from touring because of the significant change in the price of gas, a few still have faith that bands will be determined to press on. Jason Rockhill, co-owner of Common Groumds, is no stranger to spending weeks crammed into a van. At 30 years old, Rockhill has accumulated eight years of experience touring with Hot Water Music and Discount, taking part in everything from house parties to Warped Tour. "There's always been the '[expletive] it, we're going to go there' attitude with punk bands," Rockhill said. "They don't do it for the sake of money" "The reason they're in bands is that they don't want real jobs; they're career musicians." While midto large-size bands like Against Me! and Less Than Jake probably will be able to continue unaffected, it will be the smaller, lesser-known bands feeling the brunt of the change. "I think the price change is going to happen at the merch table," Rockbill said. "The $12 shirt might become the $15 shirt." Thankfully, not all news is bad for fans. At Common Grounds contracts in place prior to shows prevent ticket prices from rising until after November. This means that tickets for the infamous Gainesville punkrock festival The Fest will remain similar to prices of years past. Rockhill also reassured fans of alcohol that drink prices will remain unaffected until the distribution companies dictate a change themselves. However, in the midst of all this speculation, it is easy to forget who the real victims are. "It is tough to justify massive gas usage and potential money losses on tour when those are two crucial resources for relief and recovery efforts," Zeigler said.

As far as dirty sheets go, I'm sure Martha would suggest something involving a closet full of individually labeled sheet sets. I'm not that retentive, O I'll just have to wash them all the time. The television promoters of the comfortable middle-class lifestyle are not the only ones not calculating this variable into our lifestyle. Our parents haven't trained us well, either. Thanks to my mother, I keep at least one unopened stick of deodorant and two rolls of toilet paper in stock. Unfortunately, my mother never taught me to keep up with my condoms to the same degree. So when I run out, we have to run out for an emergency trip in the middle of the night to the 24-hour pharmacy, or worse, Wal-Mart. For condoms I've learned to keep them always in the box, so you see just how many you have left. Otherwise, you'll waste 30 minutes foraging in your sock drawer for a phantom. In high school my teacher taught us to make a monthly budget for our income. While things like condoms, lube and dinners together all fit easily into the miscellaneous-spending wedge of my pie chart, I forgot to predict the increased gas consumption of driving back and forth from his place to.mine. With all these hassles, one simple solution seems obviMr. Lube ous -stop having sex -but Risqu6 Business that's not even as simple as theavenue@alligator.org it sounds. Unfortunately, the greatest frustration of having consistent sex is the expectation of having consistent sex. You can't prepare yourself for it, and I don't think the talented minds from Home and Garden Television could find an answer. As soon as that comfort is gone, no quick-and-disposable solution can substitute. We discuss it only after breakups.However, simple scheduling conflicts, business trips, homework overload and any number of details can easily hinder an otherwise happy sex life. So even though I've been taught how to clean anything, balance a budget and keep a wellstocked housewhen it comes to consistent sex, I was never told what I was really getting into.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 UFF001TBALL Gat[rs' runng garme still needs fne tuning By ERIC ESTEBAN a designated lineman. Alligator Staff Writer "Coach sat us do eesteban@alligator.org plained to us that this were supposed to haxv It took less than two seconds to we're going to work botch the play. On third-and-1 in the / 1 week," Washington said Gators' first series against Wyoming on Saturday, freshman running back Timing it just r Kestahn Moore was roped in the Meyer's push for di bk A ldf iid li 'n and exis what we done and on it this ight scipline has 1,4Aec ac e or no gan. Moore's failure to make the conversion proved to be an ominous sign for a UF ruslng attack that gained only 91 yards on 36 carries. While 2.5 yards per carry might be good enough to push the Gators past the likes of Wyoming, establishing the ground game has become the top priority with Tennessee, Alabama, LSU and Florida State still looming. UF coach Urban Meyer's philosophy on the ground is simple enough when executed perfectly, but it's a far cry from the I-formation and shotgun draws that once ran supreme in Gainesville. "The noming game can really tick if three things come together," Moore said. "Blocking, speed and timing are necessary for it to work and that falls on everyone." Still in the blocks At the conclusion of spring, Meyer made several moves along the offensive line with only senior Mike Degory returning to the same position he played in 2004. However, with four out of five spots on the line occupied by seniors, UF is relying on experience to hold strong in a firstmtta uoyne / Aligator 0ta" Kestahn Moore and UF stable of tailbacks are striving to improve on Saturday's poor rushing performance. year offense based on the run. "Basically we had been working on [the rushing game] all along, but it was our first game and we knew what to do, but there was a little confusion," starting left guard Tavares Washington said. "The way we played Saturda'y, I don't think there's any way we could beat Tennessee with that running game." Part of the problem with the line early in the year might be the new blocking scheme. The Gators ran a trAe-zone line in which all the linemen would block in one direction. With Meyer, the zone remains the same, but with a twist -one or two of the linemen are called on to block receive pu c Ly or s o -efield tactics, but he expects the same on the field. Against Wyoming UF fielded two running backs for the first time. Meyer. expected Moore and redshirt freshman Markus Manson to have a feel for timing right away, despite their lack of experience. Junior Skyler Thornton also played on Saturday to mixed results, but the running game could be back on track after Meyer confirmed that DeShawn Wyn-n would return on Saturday. The strongest runner of the tailback quartet, Wynn could bring the timing back to the rushing offense when running between the tackles. While Wynn refuses to speak to the media, Washington confirmed that Wynn could be the difference against Louisiana Tech and beyond. "Throughout the game, I would talk to him a little bit and asked him what was up, and he said, 'Man, I really wanted to be out there. I'll be back next week for you all, guys. I'm not going to let you all down,"' Washington said. "Last year he was focused, but I didn't see him nearly as focused as he is this year." Team shows softer side of Swamp with better fan relations for 2005 xcuse me, are you one of the 90,707 people who showed up to last Saturday's Wyoming game?. If so, I've got a message for you from a few members of the UF football team: Thanks and let's hang out sometime. I know fans like to think of football players as well-trained behemoths whose headsare completely embedded in the game at hand, but there's more there than you know. After the 32-14 win, do you know what a lot of the players wanted to talk about? UF's running game, or lack thereof? Nope. How many touchdowns Chad Jackson will score next week? Sorry. How awesome Chris Leak looked when he scrambled? Yeah, right. The players wanted to talk about you, the fans. Looks like you made a pretty good impression on them at the Gator Walk. "Oh man, the Gator Walk was amazing," a wide-eyed Brandon Siler said. "At first, I thought it was going to be lame but those buses rolled up and I was like 'Whoa.' It made us all feel like rock stars." The Gator Walk is one of Meyer's best ideas yet because it benefits both sides. Players look forward to support from the home crowd before the imminent 60-miuute battle begins. Fans enjoy it too because they can have a more involved role in game days. Farzad Safi Far's Side fsa salligator.org Things, however, weren't always so lovey-dovey between the fans and players. "In years past, the football team tried to distance ourselves from everyone else," center Mike Degory said. "Coach Zook was very careful with who we talked to and what we said about the team." Good call. You wouldn't want covert spies to uncover the secrets of last year's 7-5 Gators powerhouse.e This year has been new for everyone involved with UF football. I know you're probably still trying to get the hang of this new team, but Meyer and his crew had the guts to make the first move. Football players aren't too tough to spot on campus, either. They are the only guys who could ever possibly look cool wearing white T-shirts that are five sizes too big for them. Just do it. Go up and talk to them. I'm sure you're dying to ask Chad Jackson how he managed to catch that one-handed, no look touchdown or see how much taller you are than Vernell Brown. Don't take my word for it, though. "Without the fans, there is no us," defensive end Jeremy Mincey said. "I'd kick it with any of the fans or students."

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 25 By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org The grief finally became too great for former UF quarterback Danny Wuerffel. With New Orleans, a city he poured his life into, rotting beneath a sea of floodwater, the Heisman winner finally broke down in tears on Wednesday. "I wept this morning thinking about our city and thinking about the many families and children that probably drowned in their homes, so it's incredibly sad," Wuerffel said. "And yet somehow at the same time we've experienced a kind of joy and vision." Joy and vision have always been nearly nonexistent in the destitute Desire neighborhood, which Wuerffel's Desire Street Ministries has labored to revitalize. Now, it's difficult to imagine a future for' the ministry or it's neighborhood, located in the city's heavily damaged, low-lying 9th Ward. As images of death, destruction and rescue missions in the neighborhood beam to television sets around the world, Wuerffel said he's certain the ministry sustained major damage, though he's not sure to what extent. Even with a community seemingly so bankrupt of hope, Wuerffel recognizes an opportunity far greater than anything he's ever imagined. "Our ministry's mission is to revitalize the Desire neighborhood," Wuerffel said. "It was once ranked the worst neighborhood in the country. We may have an opporti-mity to rebuild it in the way everyone would want it to be." i Katrina's Wuerffel uke, .the ministry has assisted in relief efforts with staff scattered throughout the Gulf Coast region. Wuerffel's ministry is accepting donations in anything from temporary housing to Wal-Mart gift cards. Information can be found on the ministry's Web site at desirestreet.org. As for the university's $50,000 donation from the proceeds of Saturday's PayPer-View broadcast of the Louisiana Tech game and a substantial but undetermined amount donated by alumni and fans, Wuerffel remains grateful. Currently, the ministry plans to reestablish its Desire Street Academy as a satellite boarding school by Oct. 3. With about 200 boys, Wuerffel estimates that enrollment is about 30 to 50 percent of its previous total, a number that grows daily as children are found in shelters across the region. Still, he remains anxious to return home to New Orleans and aid in the arduous rebuilding process but is uncertain how much of a home he'll find there. With his wife, Jessica, and their son, Jonah, Wuerffel escaped to Natchez, Miss., where they weathered the storm before traveling to Destin. But the family's home, located in New Orleans' Lakeview area near the breached 17th Street Canal levee, was likely destroyed by floodwaters. "We saw our neighbor's house in a photo, and it was up to the roof with flooding," Wuerffel said. "So we can only assume it's the same for ours." Still, Wuerffel said he remains grateful to God, for sparing his family and has emerged with a new and better understanding of the difference between want and need. "We've got nothing, but we have everything we need," Wuerffel said. "I've got my wife, my son. We've got food and shelter, and we feel fortunate to have that because many people don't."

t, ALLIGATOR THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,2005 Two t0p forwards suffer injuries By NICK ZACCARDI Alligator Writer Megan Kerns and Jasmine Johnson -1vo o0 U's top offensive threats -are currently battling injuries. One may not return anytime soon. From what was originally er-tsidered a preventative x-ray for a banged-up knee, Burleigh learned last week that Kerns, a freshman, suffered a more serious meniscus tear. "We hope that she'll be back, we don't think it will be for the rest of the season,' Burleigh said. "Three to four, maybe six weeks at the high end." Johnson, the team leader in goals and points, underwent a precautionary MRI on Tuesday. High-class humor When the No. 7 freshman soccer class in the country came to UF, the upperclass0nen wasted little timre making hazing plans. In what has become a tradition for the UF soccer program, the returning players invited the newcomers to a formal welcome back dinner at the Holloway Touchdown Terrace on August 23. It turned out that only the freshmen had to abide by a dress code. "The welcome back dinner they told us was a dressy affair, so we all came in our spiffy outfits and it was actually just a nice dinner where you can just wear jeans and a sweatshirt," freshman Ameera Abdullah said. Rather than trying to retaliate, Abdullah and the other freshmen decided to take the high road. "We've learned that if you try back at them, then you will only get it ten times worse," Abdullah said. "So w5e just laughed at it." Coach Becky Burleigh took the same approach, turning the other cheek to the practical joke. "I know nothing of that," Burleigh joked. Battle for keeper The goalkeeper competition heated up over the weekend in Notre Dame, Ind., as starter Jen Gardner took a seat on the bench near the end of a 5-0 win over Connecticut. The substitution snapped Gardner's string of 927 minutes and nine seconds as the only goalkeeper in net for UF, dating back to 2004. Tim Casey/ Alligator Freshman soccer star Megan Kerns (orange) suffered a meniscus tear in the season opener that is worse than initially expected. Kerns could miss up to six weeks of action. Brittni Goodwin, who started 24 games in 2003 and eight in 2004, played the final five minutes and made a pair of saVes to preserve the shutout "I think that was a very difficult situation that she had to go into," Burleigh said. "UConn was definitely on the attack and she was tested from the second she got in and did very well." Even with the game in hand, Burleigh wanted to reward Goodwin with some playing time earlier in the game. "She's had a couple of great weeks of practice," Burleigh said. "I think she's going to come in and push Jen [Gardner] for playing time." Team effort The Gators nearly turned in a total team effort against Connecticut as 20 players recorded time in the one-sided match. "As far as being able to continually rotate players and keep the level up, that's our ideal situation," Burleigh said. "As long as the level is staying constant or even going up because of fresh legs, we're going to continue to do that." The UF roster stands at 31, but minus injuries and NCAA restrictions, only 26 were eligible to play on Sunday Honors Three Gators earned AllTournament honors at The Inn at Saint Mary's Soccer Classic last weekend, including Gardner, who was named the goalkeeper MVP. The senior recorded nine combined saves against No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 19 Connecticut. Johnson and Ananda Erickson also made the team as midfielders. Erickson was named to the All-Tournament team at the preseason Westfield Cup. Michelle Stewart / Alligator Staff EZ Tennis Tc IaYour friends about EZ Tennis.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 27-' By BRIAN STEELE Alligator Writer The temperature will not be the only thing rising at the University Golf Course on Friday morning -so will the expectations for the UF cross country teams. After finishing last season ranked No. 26 by MONDO and receiving their first automatic bid to the NCAA Championship in seven years, the men's team will start its season off with the Gator Invitational, and the women with the Mountain Dew Invitational. Coach Jeff Pigg, who has improved each team's standing during his tenure, is building a program that is now looking to make the next step toward national contention. "On the men's side we return a really strong group," Pigg said. "This year is a completely different team. The chemistry is a lot different .I think this may be the best men's team I've had in 16 years talent-wise and attitude-wise." Although so much talent returns for both teams, some runners are forced to grow up faster than others and take on the leadership roles. "Jamie [Geissler] transferred from Texas A&M," Pigg said. "She was at Texas A&M 10 days before school started last year, so that was a pretty quick move to be here and hit the ground running. She did a nice job and was our No. 1 runner every meet last year. It's time for her to be a leader. I need her to step up a little more and I know she wants that." Although Pigg may be improving UF's talent level, that is not necessarily his greatest strength as a coach or recruiter. "We need to be in the top 20 every year." Jeff Pigg UF cross country coach "The people Coach recruited is why we've gotten so much better," sophomore Kristen Johnson said. "He doesn't just pick his runners as athletes because of just being a good runner, but [he picks them] because of their personality. They have more depth than just being a good runner. He's really done a good job recruiting the right kind of people for our team." Not only has Pigg recruited the right type of people, he's one of the few coaches in the nation that has a cross country head coaching position. "[Having our own individual coach] has really helped because a lot of people overlook cross country," Johnson said. "Now that we have someone that is just focusing on us it makes us a little more important and more people [notice] us. The individualized attention has also allowed the Gators to be more motivated and allow the coaching staff to better learn how to help each athlete. "Given some time, [Pigg] learns and puts together something that best suits you," junior Shane Stroup said. "Coach is all about character and he wants to motivate you and that motivation makes you want to go out there and work harder. They're going to notice that we have a cross country team this time and know that we're going to be a team to beat at nationals." As the season progresses, JolhLnson feels that UF will get some well-deserved respect around the nation. "I think people are going to be saying good things," she said. "I think we've got a really great team. We've got a lot of talent and I think we're going to shock a lot of people." For Pigg, the goal is simple. "We need to be in the top 20 every year," he said.
