ADMINISTRATION
UF to recognize faculty union
By STEPHANIE GARRY
Alligator Staff Writer
smgarry@alligator.org
The UF administration con-
ceded its loss to the faculty union
Tuesday, announcing it soon will
begin negotiations on the contracts
of its nearly 1,900 members.
The decision came after a
state Public Employees Relations
Commission ruling Friday that
validated the United Faculty of
Florida, saying it had represented
some faculty at UF continuously
since 1976, despite the universi-
ty's refusal to recognize it for the
last three years.
"We could have appealed it,
but we're done," UF President
Bernie Machen said.
UF continued to fight for bar-
gaining changes even after a court
case and a state report suggested
the union would win, because
officials "thought we had a good
case," Machen said.
He added that the $50,000-plus
cost of fighting
spent long ago.
the union was
The UF
administration
argued that the
entire faculty
should vote
!on whether or
not it wanted
the union to
Machen represent it.
The tradi-
tional bargaining unit as set by
the state commission represents
only 40 percent of UF's faculty,
Machen said.
This bargaining 'unit ex-
cludes the Levin College of
Law, the Institute for Food and
Agricultural Sciences and the
Health Sciences Center.
But Machen consistently said
he would stick with the board's
decision, and said he now expects
a "positive environment" for
working on the contract.

Students seeing higher prices at Reitz
By JESSICA DEL VALLE
Alligator Contributing Writer
Hanging out at the Reitz
Union just got more expensive.
Prices at the Reitz Union
Game Room, Food Court and
Hotel have risen from last se-
mester mainly due to increased
minimum wage and utility
costs.
A standard room at the Reitz
Union Hotel used to cost $60 a
night.
After the hotel renovated the
rooms with new carpet, tile, cur-
tains and furniture in August,
the price per night increased
to $79.
Bowlers will pay more to
reserve a bowling lane at the
Game Room, up from $11 an
hour to $13 an hour since July.
The price increase was due

partly to a $35,000 cut from
video game and vending prof-
its, which UF President Bernie
Machen decided to allocate
to another area of the univer-
sity, said Game Room Manager
Charlotte Dare.
An additional cause of the
Game Room price increase is
the fact that the prices of its
competitors in the market, such
as Alley Katz, have gone up as
well.
However, the Game Room
has not seen a decrease in cus-
tomers since the price change,
Dare said.
"Compared to our competi-
tors, we are still the cheapest
in town," Dare said, "and we
always want to be a better value
to students."
The main reason for these
price increases is that the cost of
running the building has gone
up, especially the cost of elec-
tricity, said Michael Mironack,

addresses
Senate
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
UF President Bernie Machen at-
tended the regular Student Senate
meeting Tuesday night to discuss
everything from a new university
media campaign to the university's
graduate-student insurance policy
Machen introduced a new
commercial, which shows a di-
verse group of UF enthusiasts
saying "Go
Student Gators." The
GoverMnet ad will air on
national tele-
vision during the UF-Tennessee
football game Saturday.
"Some feel that the Gator
Nation is an athletic term," he
said. "We think the Gator Nation
is everybody. I want people in
Seattle to know the difference be-
tween UF and other universities."
Machen said the commercial
cost about $60,000 to $70,000 to
produce and was paid for by non-
academic monies.
"I'm hoping that we have
a better identity of ourselves,"
Machen said of the campaign.
"We don't have a unified feeling
of the university."
He said UF officials are con-
cerned about the university's grad-
uate-student insurance policies.
"It is a topic that we have been
talking about a great deal," he
said. "We have to solve that."
Machen said it is a personal is-
sue for him because his daughter
attends the College of Veterinary
Medicine and is not adequately
insured.
Machen said he was impressed
by the Gainesville community's
response to help the victims of
Hurricane Katrina. However, he
said he hopes the victims' schools
are operational again soon be-

Toys on the way to Katrina victims
Hundreds of stuffed animals and toys are stockpiled in a
local storage facility for Operation Teddy Bear.
* GAINESVILLE CITY COMMIS-
SIONER ED BRADDY STARTED
OPERATION TEDDY BEAR.
By KIMBERLY GOUZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
They left behind their baseballs,
bicycles, stuffed animals and all
their other beloved playthings when
they fled their homes.
Sleeping and playing in shelters,
some of the children displaced by
Hurricane Katrina are a long way
'from their toys.
"We lose sight of the fact that the
kids out there, even if we get the wa-
ter to them, if we get the medicine to
them, if we keep them healthy, they
still lack the essentials that make
their lives normal," said Ed Braddy,
Gainesville city commissioner and
SFCC employee.
Braddy began collecting stuffed
animals, toys, books, crayons and
games for children displaced by
Hurricane Katrina on Sept. 7. His
project, Operation Teddy Bear, raised
enough toys in four days to fill a 200-
square-foot storage facility.
"I realize that toys, games and
stuffed animals are not the highest
priority for victims of natural di-
sasters," Braddy said. "But once the
essentials like food and water are
taken care of, I believe that provid-
ing toys for the kids is absolutely es-
sential to help them take their minds
off the storm."
"I realize that toys, games
and stuffed animals are not

water are taken care of, I
believe that providing toys for
the kids is absolutely essen-
tial to help them take their
minds off the storm."
Ed Braddy
Gainesville city commissioner
Braddy, a father of four, created
Operation Teddy Bear after con-
sidering what it would have been
like for his children to leave their
belongings and spend months in a
hurricane shelter.
"My daughter loves to read, and
my sons are very physical and like
to play with toys," Braddy said. "If
they had none of that, and we were
stuck in a hotel room or shelter, it
would be just miserable for them."
Braddy delivered his first ship-
ment of toys Saturday to a Holiday
Inn housing refugees in Live Oak
and other shelters in Tallahassee and
Panama City Beach.
Jack Kegerreis, an independent
contractor, donated his truck to the
cause.
"People are helping out in their
own ways; some in monetary ways,
some by donating their time. In my
case, I donated a truck," Kegerreis
said.
Braddy said he has received calls
from people in Hollywood and Ft.
Laiuderdale who would like to set up
similar organizations in their areas.
"The project has yet to leave the
state, but we have contacted Rotary
clubs in Mississippi and Louisiana
through the district governors in
those states," said Tony Domenech,
logistics coordinator for the project
and former Gainesville city commis-
sioner.
Braddy said he.plans to continue
the project for several weeks or
months.
"As long as there is an interest,
and as long as- there are evacuees that
are without, we will try our best to
get them what they need," he said.

Bowling club strikes
out on Reitz funding
PUBLIC SAFETY
Pledge faces theft charges
* CLUB MEMBERS DO NOT
KNOW WHY FUNDS WERE CUT.
By CHERYL CLARKE
Alligator Contributing Writer
Bowling strikes won't be the
only challenge for the UF bowling
club this year.
The dub must find alternate ways
to pay for the costs of bowling now
that the Reitz Union does not fund it.
Mike Paiva, UF bowling coach,
said he is unsure why the team
was cut from Union funding, but
he informed potential bowling club
members about the situation and the
expected costs at
Student the organiza-
Government tional meetings.
"We have
travel costs to pay for," he said. "We
used to be able to use vans provided
by the university in order to drive
to some tournaments, but we can't
even do that anymore."
The dub has travel expenses,
a $50 membership fee and a $7
weekly fee.
Paiva said SG usually provides
the funds for UF dubs, but the pro-
cess is lengthy.
Student Body Treasurer Lindsay
Cosimi said the bowling dub would
need to fill out a request for the funds
it needs through an allocation process
that can take up to eight weeks before
the club can access its funds.
She advised the bowling dub to
ask the Department of Recreational
Sports for funding since it is a com-
petitive sport.
"Rec Sports recognizes and
funds competitive teams under
Sport Clubs Program funding, and
SG typically funds teams that aren't
competitive in nature," she said.
The costs of participating in
bowling events this year will range
from $110 for each in-state event
to $620 for each out-of-state event,
Paiva said.
The number of events is deter-
mined by the performance of the
team.
Jesse Chiet, vice president of
the bowling club, said she thinks
students will show up initially but
won't stay after they hear about
the fees.
"We have to pay for airfare and
travel expenses," Chiet said. "I had
to drive to Atlanta one year in my
own car."
Dennis Neeld, bowling dub
president, said the club is discour-
aged but is searching for fundraising
opportunities.
"We're thinking about doing
tournaments between sororities, fra-
ternities and dorm rooms," he said.
Paiva said it would be a demand-
ing thing to ask the members to
try to raise money while worrying
about school and other activities,
but he is willing to do what it takes
to keep students interested in the
bowling dub.
"We have such a good history,"
he said. "The thing that I don't want
is to see the program die."

A Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity
pledge was arrested for alleg-
edly stealing $1,225 in mer-
chandise from a fellow pledge
'Monday night.
Michael Souder, 23, was ar-
rested for stealing a Toshiba lap-
top, Altec Lansing speakers and
a Lexmark printer from pledge
Thomas Lavery, reports state.
Souder said he purchased
the merchandise for $200 from
a man calling himself Joey, who
Souder thought was a brother
of the house.
"He told me his name and
that he lived upstairs and asked
if I was interested in buying
a computer," Souder said. "I
thought it was a good deal, and
I was planning to buy a com-
puter anyway to have an e-mail
address forum for the house."
Lavery's belongings were
allegedly stolen while he was
in the shower and were later
discovered by Lavery and other
witnesses in Souder's truck, ac-
cording to the police report.
"The victim and the witness-
es advised me that there was no
one in the house or allowed in
the house by the name of Joey,"
the report stated.
Lavery said Souder was the
only other person in his room
the entire night.
"Obviously, if my stuff was
in his car, then he had to do it,"
Lavery said. "He changed his
story so many times."

feature a performance by the Chris
McCarty Band.
Another draw to the new wing will
be the Camellia Court Caf6, which will
serve salads, sandwiches, soups and
pastries during museum hours and
before evening events at the Phillips
Center for the Performing Arts.
"The caf6 will be upscale, where visi-
tors will be able to order food and have
it brought out to their table," Wroath
said. "We want our visitors to be able
to spend the day and enjoy the museum
without having to leave for lunch."

The inaugural exhibition, titled
"American Matrix: Contemporary

Collection," will include works from
more than 40 artists including Andy
Warhol, Barabara Kruger, Louise
Bourgeois. and Willem de Kooning.
The Ham broke ground in 2003 to be-
gin construction on the additional 6,500
square feet of exhibition space, includ-
" ing a 35-foot ceiling to accommodate
both large and small-scale artworks.
The new pavilion was made pos-
sible by a $3.2 million donation from
David A. Cofrin and his wife. The
pavilion is named after .their mother,
Mary Ann Ham Cofrin, daughter of
Samuel P. Ham, for whom the museum
is named.
Ham authorities encouraged the
university's undergraduate students
to take part in the museum's volunteer
programs this year.
"Our goal is to increase the amount
of UF student traffic throughout the mu-
seum," volunteer coordinator Christa
Molinaro said. "It's a good opportunity
for students who want to volunteer or
intern in all departments of the museum
including education, marketing and
public relations, visitor service, special
events or the museum store."

Greek control
SG caters to those
who vote
It's hard to believe Student Government.
They've cried wolf so many times, we lost count years
ago.
Every time we think a party fights for an "open SG," we un-
earth the corruption, the lies and the drive to win at all costs.
But it's also hard to blame them.
For the past year the major party has loaded its ticket with
Greeks. The most recent example is The Gator Party; at least 57
percent of its candidates hail from a Greek house.
Why? Because Greeks vote and thus have become SG's sole
constituency.
Politicians only consider as constituents those who vote, and
Greeks come out in support of those who will do their bidding.
The remaining 90 percent of the student body doesn't matter
because they don't voice their opinion at the polls.
So this is all your fault.
Students seem to forget every year that they pay about $120
each per semester for SG to spend as it chooses.
Hell, if we paid that much money for an MP3 player, we'd
make sure it was filled with our favorite music.
Instead, SG has made sure we listen to elevator music and
then get our asses beat to it.
Apparently, Greeks like it rough. And when they vote, they
choose for everyone.
But in the past SG has'gone further than just pleasing its
constituency.
Reports of legacy positions floated around last Fall and have
been an issue for years.
The idea is that certain fraternities get a certain seat. In return
the house votes for that party.
This way politics isn't just a crapshoot. You work hard and
then you're basically guaranteed a spot.
We don't know that this is the case with The Gator Party.
But don't you think it's odd that ALL the Greeks went to
Gator? Is Joe Goldberg really that loved?
We can only assume that if everything were kosher, about
the same number of Greeks would have applied to the Impact
Party.
Yet only one Greek is listed on Impact's list, compared to 26
onmGator's.
Seth Entin, the lone frat boy on Impact's ticket, said he liked
"fighting for the underdog."
Why is Impact the underdog?
Could it be because fraternities and sororities already prom-
ised their support to The Gator Party, so Impact is dependent
on non-Greeks?
The power should be the other way around.
The remaining majority of students should be able to topple
the very narrow clique.
Instead, Greeks are a machine of ambition and security.
Someone who wants to pad his or her resume with an SG stint
knows that Greek organizations will secure that goal.
Wouldn't you do the same?
If fraternities and sororities didn't know they had Senate
seats bagged, either by backhanded deals or simply by odds,
they wouldn't vote.
But it's just too tempting for a party to ensure that they have
the Greek vote. If they don't do it, someone else will.
That doesn't mean some Greek parties don't have good in-
tentions. It just means they've been sold on the doctrine that the
end result is what matters. You can't do good work if you don't
get elected. It's all downhill from there.
The student body can change this in one election by just
turning out to vote.
But you guys apparently are incredibly lazy.
So until Internet voting is implemented to allow students the
ability to vote in their homes, it seems as though we're stuck.

Letters to the Editor
Cartoon is ignorant and derogatory
We find the use of the "n-word" in
Tuesday's opinions section of the Alligator
totally unacceptable.
This word is derogatory in nature whether
it's intended to be funny or not.
The cartoon also downplays the fact that
race, as well as socioeconomic status, indeed
was a factor in the slow response to Hurricane
Katrina preparation and relief. And that is not
a joke.
The cartoon is both ignorant and insensi-
tive. In addition displaying a word so noncha-
lantly in a newspaper, albeit one independent
and free to express views unattached to the
university, without a doubt reflects poorly on
UF as a whole.
And how ironic that the word with such
negative connotations was placed to the right
of an editorial commenting on low minority
enrollment.
The article states, "President Bernie
Machen stressed the need to increase minor-
ity enrollment if the university is to obtain
its goal of becoming a Top 10 public research
institution."
Though the word has been around for
years and may continue to be used, we shud-
der to think that a school striving for such
excellence and top-tier status would throw
around a word with so much disregard.
Though likely intended as a joke, we
strongly feel that no ethnic minority, black or
not, would enjoy or laugh at the public dis-
play of such negative words that have been
used to slander and defame them. The fact
that the word was even used so jokingly only
highlights the ignorance that still exists in the
world and the blatant lack of knowledge of
other people and other cultures.
In no way do we agree with the use of the
"n-word" or any word that disrespects some-
one else, and in no way does it benefit the
students who read the Alligator.
We can think of numerous other phrases
that could have been used without taking
anything away from the desired comical ef-
fect that would have saved face for the
"Independent" Alligator and UF because in
the end it's UF students who work for the
paper.
We are extremely disappointed and disre-
spected by the comic.
We charge the students at the Alligator and
at UF to hold yourselves to a higher standard.

Iraq effort helps end brutal oppression
This letter is in agreement with Matthew
Melone's Monday column on American in-
tervention.
Many believe the war in Iraq is as useless
as their boring professors' lectures. There
are anti-war activists constantly parading on
Turlington Plaza, trying to win over students
for their cause.
They know little about the war-effort's
help to people in Afghanistan, Iraq and other
international U.S. military posts. Those who
oppose the war should see Americans "fight
the good fight." They should listen to Iraqi
voices that tell of the countless atrocities of
their ruined diplomacy.
So many are quick to slander the war and
its apparent hopeless cause.
However, the next time you or your rela-
tives are born into countries where the gov-
ernment cares so little for your life, you too
would hope and pray for a greater nation's
intervention.
It should be stated and stated loudly
- that there is justification for the war in Iraq.
That justification is to help change Iraq, its
brutal oppression and prolonged suffering of
the Iraqi people.
Moreover, it could possibly prevent a fu-
ture attack on America.
The war in Iraq just might be one worth
fighting.

Universities shouldn't mirror world
To quote Ayn Rand, "There is a great deal
to be said about the horrifying approach of
a world dominated by people who prefer
'ascription' to 'achievement,' and who seek
a physiologically determined, automatically
given status rather than a status they have
to earn."
Equally "horrifying" is the attitude that
a certain ascription means achievement. UF
President Bernie Machen suggests that in-
creasing.the diversity of graduate students
implies increasing UF's position among top
research universities.
While this may appear to be true, and
it might actually be true, let the applicants'
academic achievement prove it rather than
a box checked any other distinction than
White/Caucasian.
It's insulting to everyone.
And as for the "world-class institution"
Machen seeks, is there a number that's di-
verse enough? There's nor gray area between
ascription and achievement. You can't have
both.
I ask the president, were universities cre-
ated to mirror the world? If so I was gravely
mistaken in my decision to attend this
"world-class institution."

meeting.
Gainesville Regional Utilities' cus-

services each month. The commission
also approved an increase in GRU's an-
nual budget.
The commission decided to tack on
a 10-percent surcharge to natural-gas
sales outside of Gainesville city limits.
This tax goes into effect Oct. 1, said
Kurt Lannon, clerk of the commission.
The commission also made early
voting in city and state elections official.
"People have been able to vote, but
we are now going to have an official
policy," Lannon said.-

Corners plan has problems
By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org
Retailers are wary of leasing space in
University Corners because they feel stu-
dents are bad business, said the general
manager of the development.
However, Michael Conroy said retailers
are not aware that many UF students have
scholarships and would have money avail-
able to spend in their University Comers
stores, located on the northwest corner of
University Avenue and Northwest 13th
Street.
"Our biggest challenge has been get-
ting the retail space leased up," Conroy
said. "It's been tougher to get than antici-
pated."
Project developers will plan details such
as parking, sidewalks and aesthetics to per--
suade retailers.
Conroy said there could be 200 extra
parking spaces.
"The amount of parking is going to take
care of a lot of headaches," he said.
In order to widen sidewalks for pedestri-
an safety, the buildings will be moved back
about 10 feet from University Avenue and
13th Street. The present Starbucks is only 54
inches from the curb.
"Our biggest challenge has been
getting the retail space leased
up."
Michael Conroy
University Corners.general manager
"There are certain ingredients in a
walkable environment, and part of that is
wide sidewalks," Conroy said.
He said pedestrian flow is important
because he wants University Comers to be
"a living, breathing place."
Conroy said there are no definitive plans
for a bridge midway between Southwest
14th Street and Southwest 13th Street
crossing University Avenue, but he did say
that a bridge would be helpful in bringing
students safely across University Avenue
to the second level of the complex.

Gator Launch-es minorities' careers
* MENTORS SOUGHT FOR PRO-
GRAM SPOTS THIS WEEK.
By CHERYL CLARKE
Alligator Contributing Writer
Whether looking for a major or
resume how-to, social and cultural
minority students have a resource in
the Gator Launch Minority Career
Mentoring Program, which is looking
for new mentors for its growing enroll-
ment this week.
Mentors can be UF .employees
and students or other members of
the Gainesville community and must
have a bachelor's degree and at least
one year of experience, said Anide
Harrigan, assistant director for Career
Development and Diversity.
"Our mentors are very committed,"
she said. "They see it as really investing
in a student's life."
The program, organized through the
Career Resource Center, is open to UF
sophomores and first-semester juniors
and focuses on the career development
of minority Gators.
"The program began in 2001 and
started out as a minority program to
help the university with retention of
minority students," Harrigan said.
Initially, Gator Launch was a re-
sponse to Gov. Bush's One Florida ini-
tiative to assist with minority-student
recruitment and retention.
The program now accepts a broader
range of students, includ-
Student ing disabled students and
Life the lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and queer com-
munity, she said.
"The first year we had 10 students,"
Harrigan said. "This year we're shoot-
ing for 60."
Gator Launch Program Coordinator
Tiffany Brown said not all the students
who apply to be mentees will be se-
lected.
"We want students who are going to
be committed and proactive," she said.
Applicants must submit a two-page
essay describing how Gator Launch
will help achieve their career goals.
Brown said students in the program
receive career guidance, professional
workshops and exposure to their 'cho-
sen field.
"Aside from the mentoring pro-
gram, they are also required to meet
bi-weekly to encourage network skills
and interview settings," she said.
Gabriel DuPree, a 22-year-old wild-
life ecology and conservation major,
said the Gator Launch program was
very helpful last year.
"The most successful aspect of this
program was learning professional
skills," he said. "I learned how to per-
fect my resume and my etiquette."
DuPree said he is willing to be a peer
mentor to the incoming class if needed.
"It's definitely a growing program,"
Harrigan said. "We want as many stu-
dents as possible to get involved."
Mentor interviews will be held at the
CRC on Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:
40 p.m. and Friday from noon to 4 p.m.
For more information about the pro-
gram, visit the program's Web site at

Vols' linemen plan to use Leak as target practice
* TENNESSEE DEFENSE
CONSIDERS HITTING LEAK
HARD A KEY TO WINNING.
By FARZAD SAFI
Alligator Staff Writer
fsafi@alligator.org
With kickoff three days away,
Tennessee's defensive front fired
the first shot at UF quarterback
Chris Leak, hoping many more
will follow Saturday.
"One thing that I've noticed
about Chris Leak is that he hates
to get hit," Tennessee defensive
tackle Jesse Mahelona told the
Knoxville News Sentinel. "You
give him one real good. shot and
that will affect him the rest of the
game."
Defensive end Justin Harrell
elaborated on the Volunteers'
game plan.
"We're going to try to hit Leak
as much as we can," Harrell
said. "It's going to be the key to
the game, how much we can hit
Leak."
The Gators' quarterback was
the first victim of the annual trash
talking fest, but don't expect any-
one.from UF to reply.
'"It doesn't bother me that they
said that," Leak said. "Of course
they are going to try and fire you
up before the game. I won't talk
about his mom or anything, but
I will try to lead my team to a
win."
Andy Apicella / Alligator
Chris Leak will try to stand up to a tough Tennessee defensive line Saturday. Some Volunteers linemen
question Leak's toughness, claiming the quarterback is easily rattled by hard hits.
After Tuesday's practice,
Coach Urban Meyer took aside a
few of his players and specifically
asked them to take the high road
this week.
"Coach told us he wants us to
prepare hard and leave the trash.
talking to Tennessee," offensive
lineman Tavares Washington said.
"I take the comments they made
personally, but I'll take care of
Chris during the game,
"I'm protective of my quarter-
back. I love him to death."
Trash talking aside, the. Gators'
battle.with the defensive front will
decide the outcome of the game in
more ways than one.
Meyer has studied the UF-
Tennessee rivalry extensively this
week and has paid special atten-
tion to the running game.
In their last 15 meetings, the
team that has rushed for more
yards has won 13 times.
Time of possession is key, and
Tennessee has won the time of
possession battle each of the last
three years. Since 2002, Tennessee
has had the ball an average of 6:30
longer than UF.
"Whoever establishes the run-
ning game will set the tempo of the
game," Leak said. "Our running
backs will have to play a big part if
we want to win this game."
Last year, consistent running
by Ciatrick Fason and junior
DeShawn-Wynn helped to open
up wider lanes downfield for the
receivers.
In the fourth quarter, Leak
faked out the Volunteers' defense
and television cameramen with
a fake hand off on an 81-yard
play-action pass to receiver Chad
Jackson. The touchdown, UF's
longest play from scrimmage
since 1996, was the product of an
established running game.
The offensive line must open
up lanes for whoever sees action
at running back this week for the
Gators.
That could prove to be dif-
ficult, as Tennessee's strategy in
years past has been to place two
massive defensive tackles up
the field to clog up the middle.
Speedy linebackers, then, only
have to cover the outside. In last
year's game, outside linebacker
Josh Burnett racked up 16 tackles.
"Their defensive line is their
strength and will probably be
the best defensive line we face all
year," Meyer said. "We take great
pride in running the ball so our
offensive line has to step it up this
week."
Tennessee game to provide early definition of Gators' season
The measuring stick is planted at the cen-
ter of Florida Field. You may not be able
to see it, but it's being held firmly there
by the collective anxiety of Gator Nation.
Senior Mike Degory has been a Gator since
2001. He's been around Spurrier's winning
teams and Zook's losing teams-a necessary
shot considering that University Avenue's
own Crazy Scooter could have probably
coached this team's talent to an 8-3 record.
Monday, Degory spoke to reporters about the
magnitude the Tennessee game would have
on a team, coaching staff and fan base.
"Everything's going to come down to this
*game," Degory said. "I said it-this is our
measuring stick. How our offense is going to
do in the SEC, where we're going to end up
at the end of the season. We know that and
understand that. We've had this date marked
sinic January, so we know the importance of
this game."
Truth is, Saturday night the Gators will
play their biggest game since Tennessee won
at the Swamp in December 2001. The loss cost
UF a chance at the Southeastern Conference
Championship, where they could have
thrashed a LSU team they defeated 44-15 ear-
lier the same year.
While students undoubtedly had their
hearts set on College Gameday visiting-
Gainesville, and "the Lee Corso has a yeast
infection" and "Trev Alberts died in the tsu-
nami" posters must be put away temporarily,
it doesn't take away from how monumental
this game is.
In previous UF vs. UT matchups, the tale
of the tape has revolved around the trenches.
In 13 of the last 15 meetings, the team that has
rushed the ball for more yards has come out
on top. A telling statistic when you think of
all-the talent that has
played on each side,
and this year should
prove to be no different
when Tennessee plays
under the lights at The
Eric Esteban Swamp for the first time
Tenacious E since 2001.
eesteban@alligator.org The Volunteers have
won three of the last
four games in the series,
mainly because of their Ruben Studdard-esque
offensive line. While they may not be as hearty
and soulful, they've got the downright meati-
ness and girth you'd expect from Tennessee
offensive linemen. Couple them with running
backs that would make Larry Csonka proud,
and you have Volunteers football.
In recent years, UF's defensive front hasn't
been game to hang with the Volunteers' talent,
but Coach Urban Meyer's development of
the trench-town Gators will be the difference
Saturday.
UF's defensive line was shut down in
Knoxville, but the turn around Jeremy Mincey,
Marcus Thomas, Ray McDonald and Steven
Harris have orchestrated was not expected
this early in the season. Tennessee is strug-
gling with injuries along their offensive line,
particularly at center where they could end
up starting Richie Gandy, who hasn't played
football for eight months nor practiced at the
position.
Tenacious E's prediction you ask? I'm no
Negrodamus, but here's one fool's opinion:
If Meyer counts too much on the running
game, things could get ugly. Tennessee's
suspect secondary, which UAB torched for
282 yards, should fold when UF takes it to
the air.

sing-a-long after UT's 2003 win

Coaches challenge Caldwell
Receiver must block better
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
Junior receiver Andre Caldwell
drew the ire of UF coach Urban
Meyer following Saturday's
Louisiana Tech game.
Meyer, who has cited motiva-
tional issues with the receiver in the
past, said Caldwell lacked intensity
in UF's 41-3 win Saturday.
A stickler for blocking, receivers'
coach Billy Gonzales dubbed some
of Caldwell's blocks highlight-wor-
thy, but said the junior lacked con-
sistency.
"You can't be up and down,"
Gonzales said. "There are things he
did great. He threw a couple blocks.
I put him on the highlight tape
because he blocked excellent. But
then there were some plays where
he didn't make them. That's called
inconsistency. You can't have that."
Caldwell, who had one recep-
tion for 23 yards and one run for
26, admitted to having a lackluster
performance but said motivation
would not be an issue when No. 5
Tennessee comes
to the Swamp on
Saturday.
"He didn't see
that fire in me
like he saw the
previous week,
and I didn't go
Caldwell out and make
plays," Caldwell said. "I had a down
game."
SLIGHT RETURNS: Blessed with such a
stocked stable of speedsters, Meyer
will not stand for the Gators' sub-
par punt returning. Cornerbacks
Dee Webb and Vernell Brown have
averaged -1.5 and 3.4 yards per punt
return, respectively, for a combined
2.3 yards per return. Their long of
22 came against Wyoming courtesy
of Brown.
Meyer has suggested shaking up
the return game, giving freshman
cornerback Avery Atkins a shot but
said improved blocking is still a
must.
"We have to block better," Meyer
said. "We have Avery Atkins out
there holding up a gunner, and he
needs to get a little better.
- "Punt return around here has
been an issue for a while. With kick
returns, I think we're getting a little
better although we dropped one.
With punt returns, we need to get a
lot better."
KICKING IT: Junior punter Eric Wilbur
was named to the 2005 Ray Guy
Watch List Tuesday. The award is
given annually to the top collegiate
punter in the country.
Wilbur, a coaches' pick for All-
Southeastern Conference preseason
second team, is averaging 43.6 yards
a punt this season and placed three
punts inside the 20-yard line against
Louisiana Tech.
UF's Booth given
defensive award
SOCCER, from page 20
Wisconsin-Milwaukee during the weekend.
"I was actually surprised about it," Booth said. "I
don't generally expect to get noticed for that kind of
thing."
Burleigh's plan for a deep forward attack has also
brought Booth up front this season.
Offensively, Booth was involved in two of
UF's four goals in the last two matches. The junior
scored her first goal of the season against Loyola
College and recorded an assist against Wisconsin-
Milwaukee.
"Mel is just such a versatile player," Burleigh
said. "She does a lot to solidify that back line and she
attacks as well."
Booth is happy playing on either side of the
field.
"I'll just play wherever Becky needs me," she
said. "It's not my choice to play one position or the
other; it's wherever they need me or they decide to
put me at that time."

But Johnson is playing with
pain, UF coach Becky Burleigh
said.
"She's got an injury and she's

Burleigh said. "I think she's go-

Coming back from surgery to

SHUTOUT STREAK: When the

rights won't be the only thing

Led by goalkeeper Jen
Gardner, the No. 13 UF defense
has gone three consecutive
games without allowing a goal,
outscoring opponents 9-0 in the
process.
"The defense has been very
impressive," Gardner said. "It's
nice as a team to get a shutout,
because you feel really secure
about what your defense is do-
ing."
The streak will be put to
the test on Friday against the
Seminoles ,who average more
than three goals per game.
"We still feel like we can get
better defensively, but we're
going in the right direction,"
Burleigh said. "It's going to be
tough to shut FSU out, they're a
good team."

UT's Clausen to start
By IAN FISHER
Alligator Staff Writer
ifisher@alligator.org
Tennessee quarterback Rick
Clausen should be glad UF line-
backer Todd McCullough isn't a
vengeful person.
Clausen's older brother, Casey,
stills haunts McCullough from
an incident two years ago. After
Tennessee defeated UF 24-10 in
the Swamp, Clausen celebrated
by directing "Rocky Top" for his
band.
Naturally, McCullough wasn't
too thrilled. While the rest of the
Gators hurried into the locker
room, McCullough couldn't. He
stood at the end of the tunnel and
watched the whole thing unfold.
"Tears were almost rolling
down my eyes, I hated it so bad,"
McCullough said. "It ate me up, it
wrenched at me, it was just like a
knot in your stomach watching
that.
"I won't ever forget that."
So Rick Clausen, who will
start Saturday, might bring back
bad memories, but McCullough
took the high road and said he
wouldn't hold what Casey did
against Rick.
But Clausen, a senior, won't be
the only quarterback concern for
McCullough and the rest of the
Gators' defense. Sophomore Erik
Ainge will also play, Tennessee
coach Phillip Fulmer said.
Last season, UF also saw
two quarterbacks Ainge and
now-departed Brent Schaeffer.
Schaeffer left the game early and
Ainge picked UF's defense apart.
UF coach Urban Meyer praised
Ainge, even though he made some
mistakes in Tennessee's only game
a 17-10 victory against UAB, in'
which Ainge threw two intercep-
tions.
"I think Erik Ainge is as tal-
ented a quarterback as there is,"
Meyer said. "I think he's going
through some youth issues as far
as experience.
"Any time you have a couple
of picks in the first game, a lot of
times in close games that can be
the difference."
Ainge and Clausen are rela-
tively similar in their styles of
play, unlike last year, when
Schaeffer was much more of a run-
ning quarterback. The difference
between Clausen and Ainge lies
mostly in the fact that Clausen is
a senior and has more experience
with meetings, Fulmer said.
"Erik, on
the other hand,
has a bit more
Si mobility and the
S' ability to get the
ball down the
S field better from
: an arm-strength
Clausen standp point "
Tennessee Fulmer said.
quarterback "It's my hope
that we can
catch Erik up as we go along."
But Meyer isn't taking the arm-
strength bait.
"With Rick Clausen, all that
kid does is win games," Meyer
said. "All I keep hearing is, 'Yeah,
but his arm strength.' His arm
strength is fine.
"Just ask Texas A&M how his
arm strength is."
Meyer is referring to
Tennessee's Cotton Bowl matchup
with Texas A&M New Year's Day,
in which Clausen threw for 222
yards and three touchdowns.
A knock on Clausen is that he
lacks mobility, but Meyer said
it's enough to win games for the
Volunteers.
Although some might question
alternating quarterbacks, Meyer
endorsed it.
Fulmer isn't too upset about
the situation either.
"We're fortunate to have two
quarterbacks that can play in this
league," Fulmer said.

You Decide. 9l Recycle WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 AD MWNSTRAT If)N UFtIeogiefcutNno By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@alligator.org The UF administration conceded its loss to the faculty union Tuesday, announcing it soon will beginnegotiations on the contracts of its nearly 1,900 members. The decision came after a state Public Employees Relations Commission ruling Friday that validated the United Faculty of Florida, saying it had represented some faculty at UF continuously since 1976, despite the university's refusal to recognize it for the last three years. "We could have appealed it, but we're done," UF President Bernie Machen said. UF continued to fight for bargaining changes even after a court case and a state report suggested the union would win, because officials "thought we had a good case," Machen said. He added that the $50,000-plus cost of fighting the union was spent long ago. The UF administration argued that the entire faculty should vote on whether or not it wanted the union to Machen represent it. The traditional bargaining unit as set by the state commission represents only 40 percent of UF's faculty, Machen said. This bargaining 'unit excludes the Levin College of Law, the Institute for Food and Agricultural Sciences and the Health Sciences Center. But Machen consistently said he would stick with the board's decision, and said he now expects a "positive environment" for working on the contract. "It's a good feeling to have it SEE UNION, PAGE 9 Students seeing higher prices at Reitz .By JESSICA DEL VALLE Alligator Contributing Writer Hanging out at the Reitz Union just got more expensive. Prices at the Reitz Union Game Room, Food Court and Hotel have risen from last semester mainly due to increased minimum wage and utility costs. A standard room at the Reitz Union Hotel used to cost $60 a night. After the hotel renovated the rooms with new carpet, tile, curtains and furniture in August, the price per night increased to $79. Bowlers will pay more to reserve a bowling lane at the Game Room, up from $11 an hour to $13 an hour since July. The price increase was due Wendy's employee Jessica Quinones works the register at the Reitz Union on Tuesday afternoon. Prices have increased throughout the Reitz Union, including the food court restaurants. partly to a $35,000 cut from video game and vending profits, which UF President Bernie Machen decided to allocate to another area of the university, said Game Room Manager Charlotte Dare. An additional cause of the Game Room price increase is the fact that the prices of its competitors in the market, such as Alley Katz, have gone up as well. However, the Game Room has not seen a decrease in customers since the price change, Dare said. "Compared to our competitors, we are still the cheapest in town," Dare said, "and we always want to be a better value to students." The main reason for these price increases is that the cost of running the building has gone up, especially the cost of electricity, said Michael Mironack, SEE PRICES, PAGE 9 Prices on the rise Reitz Union Hotel Last year: $60 This year: $79 Game Room bowling Last year: $11 This year: $13 Wendy's nuggets Last year: 99 cents This year: $1.29 Machen addresses tSenate By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org UF President Bernie Machen attended the regular Student Senate meeting Tuesday night to discuss everything from a new university media campaign to the university's graduate-student insurance policy Machen introduced a new commercial, which shows a diverse group of UF enthusiasts saying "Go Gators." The ~_______ ad will air on national television during the UF-Tennessee football game Saturday. "Some feel that the Gator Nation is an athletic term," he said. "We think the Gator Nation is everybody. I want people in Seattle to know the difference between UF and other universities." Machen said the commercial cost about $60,000 to $70,000 to produce and was paid for by nonacademic monies. "I'm hoping that we have a better identity of ourselves," Machen said of the campaign. "We don't have a unified feeling of the university." He said UF officials are concerned about the university's graduate-student insurance policies. "It is a topic that we have been talking about a great deal," he said. "We have to solve that." Machen said it is a personal issue for him because his daughter attends the College of Veterinary Medicine and is not adequately insured.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 3 Toys on the way to Katrina victims -.--s.Hundreds of stuffed animals and toys are stockpiled in a local storage facility for Operation Teddy Bear. GAINESVILLE CITY COMMISSIONER ED BRADDY STARTED OPERATION TEDDY BEAR. By KIMBERLY GOUZ Alligator Contributing Writer They left behind their baseballs, bicycles, stuffed animals and all their other beloved playthings when they fled their homes. Sleeping and playing in shelters, some of the children displaced by Hurricane Katrina are a long way 'from their toys. "We lose sight of the fact that the kids out there, even if we get the water to them, if we get the medicine to them, if we keep them healthy, they still lack the essentials that make their lives normal," said Ed Braddy, Gainesville city commissioner and SFCC employee. Braddy began collecting stuffed animals, toys, books, 'crayons and games for children displaced by Hurricane Katrina on Sept. 7. His project, Operation Teddy Bear, raised enough toys in four days to fill a 200square-foot storage facility. "I realize that toys, games and stuffed animals are not the highest priority for victims of natural disasters," Braddy said. "But once the essentials like food and water are taken care of, I believe that providing toys for the kids is absolutely essential to help them take their minds off the storm." "I realize that toys, games and stuffed animals are not the highest priority for victims of natural disasters. But once the essentials like food and water are taken care of, I believe that providing toys for the kids is absolutely essential to help them take their minds off the storm." Ed Braddy Gainesville city commissioner Braddy, a father of four, created Operation Teddy Bear after considering what it would have been like for his children to leave their belongings and spend months in a hurricane shelter. "My daughter loves to read, and my sons are very physical and like to play with toys," Braddy said. "If they had none of that, and we were stuck in a hotel room or shelter, it would be just miserable for them." Braddy delivered his first shipment of toys Saturday to a Holiday Inn housing refugees in Live Oak and other shelters in Tallahassee and Panama City Beach. Jack Kegerreis, an independent contractor, donated his truck to the cause. "People are helping out in their own ways; some in monetary ways, some by donating their time. In my case, I donated a truck," Kegerreis said. Braddy said he has received calls from people in Hollywood and Ft. Lauderdale who would like to set up similar organizations in their areas. "The project has yet to leave the state, but we have contacted Rotary clubs in Mississippi and Louisiana through the district governors in those states," said Tony Domenech, logistics coordinator for the project and former Gainesville city commissioner. Braddy said he.plans to continue the project for several weeks or months.

4, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 BOw-wling club strikes out on Reitz funding f CLUB MEMBERS DO NOT KNOW WHY FUNDS WERE CUT. By CHERYL CLARKE Alligator Contributing Writer Bowling strikes won't be the only challenge for the UF bowling club this year. .The club must find alternate ways to pay for the costs of bowling now that the Reitz Union does not fund it. Mike Paiva, UF bowling coach, said he is unsure why the team was cut from Union funding, but he informed potential bowling club members about the situation and the expected costs at Student the organizaGovernment tional meetings. "We have travel costs to pay for," he said. "We used to be able to use vans provided by the university in order to drive to some tournaments, but we can't even do that anymore." The dub has travel expenses, a $50 membership fee and a $7 weekly fee. Paiva said SG usually provides the funds for UF clubs, but the process is lengthy. Student Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi said the bowling club would need to fill out a request for the funds itneeds through an allocationprocess that can take up to eight weeks before the dub can access its funds. She advised the bowling club to ask the Department of Recreational Sports for funding since it is a competitive sport. "Rec Sports recognizes and funds competitive teams under Sport Clubs Program funding, and SG typically funds teams that aren't competitive in nature," she said. The costs of participating in bowling events this year will range from $110 for each in-state event to $620 for each out-of-state event, Paiva said. The number of events is determined by the performance of the team. Jesse Chiet, vice president of the bowling club, said she thinks students will show up initially but won't stay after they hear about the fees. "We have to pay for airfare and travel expenses," Chiet said. "I had to drive to Atlanta one year in my own car." Dennis Neeld, bowling dub president, said the club is discouraged but is searching for fundraising opportunities. "We're thinking about doing tournaments between sororities, fraternities and dorm rooms," he said. Paiva said it would be a demanding thing to ask the members to try to raise money while worrying about school and other activities, but he is willing to do what it takes to keep students interested in the bowling club. "We have such a good history," he said. "The thing that I don't want is to see the program die." PUBLIC SAFETY Pledge faces theft charges By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ Alligator Writer srodriguez@aligator.org A Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity pledge was arrested for allegedly stealing $1,225 in merchandise from a fellow pledge Monday night. Michael Souder, 23, was arrested for stealing a Toshiba laptop, Altec Lansing speakers and a Lexmark printer from pledge Thomas Lavery, reports state. Souder said he purchased the merchandise for $200 from a man calling himself Joey, who Souder thought was a brother of the house. "He told me his name and that he lived upstairs and asked if I was interested in buying a computer," Souder said. "I thought it was a good deal, and I was planning to buy a computer anyway to have an e-mail address forum for the house." Lavery's belongings were allegedly stolen while he was in the shower and were later By ELIZABETH HILLAKER Alligator Contributing Writer Wesley Clark, four-star general and former Supreme Allied Commander of Europe, will speak at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center tonight at 8 p.m. The doors will open at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. "An Evening with General Wesley Clark" is sponsored by Accent Speaker's Bureau in remembrance of Sept. 11, 2001. He was paid $35,000 to speak. Clark served as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, where he led their first major combat action to victory in Kosovo. He was also a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004. Tonight he will speak about international economics, politics and warfare, drawing on several years of discovered by Lavery and other witnesses in Souder's truck, according to the police report. "The victim and the witnesses advised me that there was no one in the house or allowed in the house by the name of Joey," the report stated. Lavery said Souder was the only other person in his room the entire night. "Obviously, if my stuff was in his car, then he had to do it," Lavery said. "He changed his story so many times." "We're looking forward to hearing his opinions about where he sees the United States and the world going."

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 New wing of Harn Museurm to feature cafe, more art By OLIVIA ORMOS Alligator Contributing Writer Like the teenager it is, the Samuel P Ham Museum of Art is growing. The Ham's new wing, set to open Oct. 22 on the museum's 15th anniversary, will have additional exhibition space, a caf6 and space for meetings, workshops and educational activities. Ham spokeswoman Tami Wroath said the opening ceremony for the Mary Ann Ham Cofrin Pavilion will include tours, gallery talks and On a perfonnance by the S g ES Florida MOD Project dancers and the Gainesville Chamber Orchestra. But the big night for the museum will be Oct. 27, Wroath said. The musewun will stay open until 11 p.m. and feature a performance by the Chris McCarty Band. Another draw to the new wing will be the Camellia Court Cafe, which will serve salads, sandwiches, soups and pastries during museum hours and before evening events at the Phillips Center for the PerformiLng Arts. "The caf6 will be upscale, where visitors will be able to order food and have it brought out to their table," Wroath said. "We want our visitors to be able to spend the day and enjoy the museum without having to leave for lunch." The new wing will be dedicated to the museum's contempdrary-art collection. The inaugural exhibition, titled "American Matrix: Contemporary Directions for the Ham Museum Collection," will include works from more than 40 artists including Andy Warhol, Barabara Kruger, Louise Bourgeois and Willem de Kooning. The Han broke ground in 2003 to begin construction on the additional 6,500 square feet of exhibition space, includ-ing a 35-foot ceiling to accommodate both large and small-scale artworks. The new pavilion was made possible by a $3.2 million donation from David A. Cofrin and his wife. The pavilion is named after their mother, Mary Ann Ham Cofrin, daughter of Samuel P. Ham, for whom the museum is named. Ham authorities encouraged the university's undergraduate students to take part in the museum's volunteer programs this year. "Our goal is to increase the amount of UF student traffic throughout the museum," volunteer coordinator Christa Molinaro said. "It's a good opportunity for students who want to volunteer or intern in all departments of the museum including education, marketing and public relations, visitor service, special events or the museum store." Yeiena ioroz/ Aligator Harn Museum of Art will offer a caf6, as well as more space for artwork to be displayed. st Fresh % poiduce Supermarket UP 0s thlef% >ordoce, Meat s and Sec od< 352 -372 -1741 515 NW23rdAve Vt Open 7 days a week M-Sat 8am-8pm Sun 9am-7pm *prices good till 9/20 Nasoya Organic Tofu I Extra firm, firm and soft 99#' 1 1b. tub.

6, ALLIGATOR N WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 Editorial Greek control SG caters to those who vote It's hard to believe Student Government. They've cried wolf so many times, we lost count years ago. Every time we think a party fights for an "open SG," we unearth the corruption, the lies and the drive to win at all costs. But it's also hard to blame them. For the past year the major party has loaded its ticket with Greeks. The most recent example is The Gator Party; at least 57 percent of its candidates hail from a Greek house. Why? Because Greeks vote and thus have become SG's sole constituency. Politicians only consider as constituents those who vote, and Greeks come out in support of those who will do their bidding. The remaining 90 percent of the student body doesn't matter because they don't voice their opinion at the polls. So this is all your fault. Students seem to forget every year that they pay about $120 each per semester for SG to spend as it chooses. Hell, if we paid that much money for an MP3 player, we'd make sure it was filled with our favorite music. Instead, SG has made sure we listen to elevator music and then get our asses beat to it. Apparently, Greeks like it rough. And when they vote, they choose for everyone. But in the past SG has'gone further than just pleasing its constituency Reports of legacy positions floated around last Fall and have been an issue for years. The idea is that certain fraternities get a certain seat. In return the house votes for that party. This way politics isn't just a crapshoot. You work hard and then you're basically guaranteed a spot. We don't know that this is the case with The Gator Party. But don't you think it's odd that ALL the Greeks went to Gator? Is Joe Goldberg really that loved? We can only assume that if everything were kosher, about the same number of Greeks would have applied to the Impact Party. Yet only one Greek is listed on Impact's list, compared to 26 on.Gator's. Seth Entin, the lone frat boy on Impact's ticket, said he liked "fighting for the underdog." Why is Impact the underdog? Could it be because fraternities and sororities already promised their support to The Gator Party, so Impact is dependent on non-Greeks? The power should be the other way around. The remaining majority of students should be able to topple the very narrow clique. Instead, Greeks are a machine of ambition and security. Someone who wants to pad his or her resume with an SG stint knows that Greek organizations will secure that goal. Wouldn't you do the same? If fraternities and sororities didn't know they had Senate seats bagged, either by backhanded deals or simply by odds, they wouldn't vote. But it's just too tempting for a party to ensure that they have the Greek vote. If they don't do it, someone else will. That doesn't mean some Greek parties don't have good intentions. It just means they've been sold on the doctrine that the end result is what matters. You can't do good work if you don't get elected. It's all downhill from there. The student body can change this in one election by just turning out to vote. But you guys apparently are incredibly lazy So until Internet voting is implemented to allow students the ability to vote in their homes, it seems as though we're stuck. the independent florida alligator Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Andrew Meyer, Tom Durrenberger EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Opi ions ALLIGATOR www.aIligator.org/opinions UT Column Palestinians should re-evaluate quest N ow we see whether Palestinians believe their own propaganda. For everyone's sakes let's hope they don't. Because if after 57 years the Palestinian people actually believe they will one day drive the Jews into the sea, then the next 57 years will be ag tragic and bloody as the last 57 have been. There is no doubt that the terrorist brood infesting the region considers the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza settlements to be a dramatic triumph; the first wave of Palestinians into the abandoned settlements celebrated informally, showing extraordinary celerity in demonstrating their respect for the Jewish religion. The Associated Press reported that the moment the last Israeli soldier left Gaza, thousands of Palestinians burned down empty synagogues. From their new bases in Gaza, terrorist groups almost certainly will continue to launch the rocket attacks that have marred the so-called cease-fire; in the future, Kassam rockets will strike Israel. It has, in fact, already started: Several rockets have smashed into the town of Sderot, in Israel proper. As thoroughly reprehensible as such attacks are, they are even more chilling when considered in their proper context. The rocket attacks are not the main thrust; they are only the preliminary artillery bombardment of what too many Palestinians consider to be the final battle for the destruction of Israel. This is the time for the Palestinians to recognize that their leaders have been lying to them. This is the time for the Palestinians to realize that no matter how many Jews and Muslims die, and no matter how much destruction is wrought, they will not, cannot destroy Israel. The Palestinians need only visit the ruins of Masada, Andrew Bare not far south of the West Bank, The Bare Truth to understand the determination letters@alligator.org and courage of their enemies. The Palestinians need only look at Israel to see the futility of their quest. Born of war and death, nursed to the awful din of battle and the smell of gunpowder, Israel has grown into a model state, .an oasis of prosperity and decency in what is a dark and tragic region. Through death and destruction, pogroms, holocausts, despite the eternal enmity of almost all societies,the Jewish people have survived. But they have survived to accomplish an extraordinary feat, perhaps the most stunning of the post-World War II era. Not embittered by their millennia of trials, the Jews carved out of hostile terrain a nation that has ascended beyond its martial origins to a level of compassion and restraint that is extraordinary. This is the country that brought dozens of the survivors from the Beslan terrorist attack to rest and recuperate. Israel, unfortunately, has decades of experience in counseling the victims of terrorism. This is the country that went out of its way to evacuate 250 Arab villagers from the village of Dahaniya in the Gaza Strip. Why? Because if left behind after the evacuation, the villagers, who had been branded as collaborators by their Palestinian "brothers," feared murderous retribution from the forces that will soon engulf Gaza. The Palestinians must adopt a new collective goal; their ambition must be directed away from the death of Jews. The futile longing for a day of destruction is far more lethal to the Palestinians than it is to the Israelis. Andrew Bare is a journalism junior. His column appears on Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Cartoon is ignorant and derogatory We find the use of the "n-word" in Tuesday's opinions section of the Alligator totally unacceptable. This word is derogatory in nature whether it's intended to be funny or not. The cartoon also downplays the fact that race, as well as socioeconomic status, indeed was a factor in the slow response to Hurricane Katrina preparation and relief. And that is not a joke. The cartoon is both ignorant and insensitive. In addition displaying a word so nonchalantly in a newspaper, albeit one independent and free to express views unattached to the university, without a doubt reflects poorly on UP as a whole. And how ironic that the word with such negative connotations was placed to the right of an editorial commenting on low minority enrollment. The article states, "President Bernie Machen stressed the need to increase minority enrollment if the university is to obtain its goal of becoming a Top 10 public research institution." Though the word has been around for years and may continue to be used, we shudder to think that a school striving for such excellence and top-tier status would throw around a word with so much disregard. Though likely intended as a joke, we strongly feel that no ethnic minority, black or not, would enjoy or laugh at the public display of such negative words that have been used to slander and defame them. The fact that the word was even used so jokingly only highlights the ignorance that still exists in the world and the blatant lack of knowledge of other people and other cultures. In no way do we agree with the use of the "n-word" or any word that disrespects someone else, and in no way does it benefit the students who read the Alligator. We can think of numerous other phrases that could have been used without taking anything away from the desired cornical effect -that would have saved face for the "Independent" Alligator and UF because in the end it's UF students who work for the paper. We are extremely disappointed and disrespected by the comic. We charge the students at the Alligator and at UF to hold yourselves to a higher standard. Jeremy Watson, BSU Treasurer Betty Stewart-Dowdell, BSU Adviser N 0 S Iraq effort helps end brutal oppression .This letter is in agreement with Matthew Melone's Monday column on American intervention. Many believe the war in Iraq is as useless as their boring professors' lectures. There are anti-war activists constantly parading on Turlington Plaza, trying to win over students for their cause. They know little about the war-effort's help to people in Afghanistan, Iraq and other international U.S. military posts. Those who oppose the war should see Americans "fight the good fight." They should listen to Iraqi voices that tell of the countless atrocities of their ruined diplomacy. So many are quick to slander the war and its apparent hopeless cause. However, the next time you or your relatives are born into countries where the government cares so little for your life, you too would hope and pray for a greater nation's intervention. It should be stated -and stated loudly -that there is justification for the war in Iraq. That justification is to help change Iraq, its brutal oppression and prolonged suffering of the Iraqi people. Moreover, it could possibly prevent a future attack on America. The war in Iraq just might be one worth fighting. Abigail dela Cruz 4AG Universities shouldn't mirror world To quote Ayn Rand, "There is a great deal to be said about the horrifying approach of a world dominated by people who prefer 'ascription' to 'achievement,' and who seek a physiologically determined, automatically given status rather than a status they have to earn." Equally "horrifying" is the attitude that a certain ascription means achievement. UF President Bernie Machen suggests that increasing the diversity of graduate students implies increasing UF's position among top research universities. While this may appear to be true, and it might actually be true, let the applicants' academic achievement prove.it rather than a box checked any other distinction than White/Caucasian. It's insulting to everyone. And as for the "world-class institution" Machen seeks, is there a number that's diverse enough? There's no gray area between ascription and achievement. You can't have both. I ask the president, were universities created to mirror the world? If so I was gravely mistaken in my decision to attend this "world-class institution."

8, ALLIGATOR E WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14,2005 Online-voting debate splits Gator, Impact parties E TERMINOLOGY OF ONLINE VOTING HAS CHANGED. By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@alIigator.org The potential for online voting in Student Government elections has been debated for years, and in this election it is split into two politically charged poles -intranet voting and Internet voting. The Gator Partysupports intranet voting, which it refers to as securedlocation online voting. Intranet voting, which will be first used in this month's election, includes 12 on-campus computerized polling locations linked by an intranet. Unlike the paper-ballot method used in previous elections, a student can vote -at any computer polling location on campus. It is predicted to save at least $30,000 every fiscal year. The Impact Party is in support of Internet voting, which it refers to as universal online voting and what Gator refers to as unsecure-location voting. impact leaders boast Internet voting will increase turnout drastically by allowing students to vote from any computer with an Internet connection using their GatorLink usernames and passwords. While Gator Party leaders praise the -intranet voting system to be debuted in this Fall's SG election, impact Party officials say its promotion is deceptive. "Online voting, or 'secured-site online voting,' as they like to call it, is a sham," Impact President Thomas Jardon said. Gator Party spokesman Thomas Philpot said intranet voting makes polls more accessible to students without compromising voter privacy. "It's the safest way for us as a Student Government to provide that service to students," he said. Some criticize the tens secured location and unsecured location -coined by an SG-appointed online-voting committee -as poorly worded to discourage support of Internet voting. Student "The terms Government are horrible. I do believe it's a misnomer, and it confuses students as well as senators," Senate President Diane Kassim said. Along with the contested terminology, parties argued the risks and benefits of Internet voting. Impact hopes Internet voting will increase voter turnout. "Anytime more people are involved in the system, I think that the system improves necessarily," Jardon said. "Not only would representation become more balanced, but I think you'll see wiser spending." Jardon said The Gator Party opposes Internet voting because it is content with the status quo. "They came into power with an election with less than 20-percent turnout, so that suits them just fine," Jardon said. Philpot said Internet voting could result in voter coercion because online voters are not isolated from outside influences and voter fraud resulting from hijacked GatorLink usernames. "When you take voting out of a polling environment, it becomes not only unsecured but uncontrolled," he said. However, Impact is pushing for an Internet voting system that includes security measures to ward off identity fraud. Precautions include restriction of an IP address to one vote over a specified time period and security questions only the GatorLink's owner should be able to answer. Impact said if Internet voting were implemented, -it would also include one on-campus securedvoting location that students could opt to use. In Fall 2001, Accelerated Data Works, Inc., the current provider of the intranet voting, conducted a trial run of Internet voting at UP. Six hundred students voted online, and 124 of 125 responses to a post-vote survey were positive. Kent Tambling, the company's vice president of operations, said he met with SG every year since and consistently felt that its questions about the system were "more political concerns than technical or legal ones." "I felt the answers I was giving were not the ones they were looking for," he said. "I felt they were looking for weaknesses." Mayor has By CHERYL CLARKE Alligator Contributing Writer, The Gainesville City Commission voted 5-1 to increase water, electrical and wastewater rates at Monday's meeting. Gainesville Regional Utilities' customer rates will increase by $9 for all services each month. The commission also approved an increase in GRU's annual budget. The commission decided to tack on a 10-percent surcharge to natural-gas sales outside of Gainesville city limits. This tax goes into effect Oct. 1, said Kurt Lannon, clerk of the commission. The commission also made early voting in city and state elections official. "People have been able to vote, but we are now going to have an official policy," Lannon said.baby gi r Mayor Hanrahan was absent for this meeting because she was in labor from Monday morning until early Tuesday morning, when her first child, Evyleen Mary Malone, was born. "Evyleen arrived at 2:03 a.m. Tuesday weighing eight pounds, eight ounces and is 18 and one-half inches long," said Bob Woods, spokesman for Gainesville's city manager. Hanrahan and Hanrahan husband Tony Malone named their daughter after Hanrahan's grandmother. Woods said Hanrahan is expected to return fromleave around Nov. 1. Commissioner Chuck Chestnut will serve as mayor until her return. AROUND GAINESVILLE Corners plan has problems By JESSICA RIFFEL -Alligator Writer jriffelaligator.org Retailers are wary of leasing space in University Corners because they feel students are bad business, said the general manager of the development. However, Michael Conroy said retailers are not aware that many UF students have scholarships and would have money available to spend in their University Corners stores, located on the northwest corner of University Avenue and Northwest 13th Street. ."Our biggest challenge has been getting the retail space leased up," Conroy said. "It's been tougher to get than anticipated." Project developers will plan details such as parking, sidewalks and aesthetics to persuade retailers. Conroy said there could be 200 extra parking spaces. "The amount of parking is going to take care of a lot of headaches," he said. In order to widen sidewalks for pedestrian safety, the buildings will be moved back about 10 feet from University Avenue and 13th Street. The present Starbucks is only 54 inches from the curb. "Our biggest challenge has been getting the retail space leased up. Michael Conroy University Corners general manager "There are certain ingredients in a walkable environment, and part of that is wide sidewalks," Conroy said. He said pedestrian flow is important because he wants University Corners to be "a living, breathing place." Conroy said there are no definitive plans for a bridge midway between Southwest 14th Street and Southwest 13th Street crossing University Avenue, but he did say that a bridge would be helpful in bringing students safely across University Avenue to the second level of the complex.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 9 Towel plan replaced by alcohol wipes SENATE, from page 1 cause he's not sure UF can handle a larger-than-normal Fall 2005 freshman class and hurricane victims for an extended period of time. Student Body President Joe Goldberg said the bill allotting $50,000 for towels for UF's recreational facilities, which was scheduled for its second reading Tuesday night, has been hung out to dry. "We came up with a solution, and that solution is called gym wipes," Goldberg said. Jeremy Martin, chairman of UF's Recreational Sports board of directors, said the $9,000 needed for the wipes, which canbe used for both the equipment and the body, will come from Recreational Sports' outside monies. The board will vote on the measure tonight. "I would be shocked if it didn't pass," he said. The Activity & Service Fee budget for 2006-2007 was approved unanimously by the Senate. Budget and Appropriations Chairwoman Jackie Pace said the axed New York Times/USA Today Readership Program has never been on the budget but is funded by reserves. Few schools in Top 10 have faculty unions UNION, from page I sort of out of the way," he told the Student Senate on Tuesday. However, having a union will not help UF become a Top 10 public research university, Machen said. Of the top 20 schools in the United States, few have faculty who are represented by unions, Machen said. "I don't think they're needed to be a top university," he said. Kim Emery, vice president of the union's UF chapter, said many faculties at many top-tier universities, public and private, do not have the ability to unionize. Negotiations should begin shortly, Machen told the Senate. The university will hire a professional team to handle the sessions. The union has a bargaining team trained and ready to go, Emery said. Machen couldn't say when the union and the university might expect to finish hammering out a contract. "I don't think we should hold our breath," he said Machen noted that the union has three years of issues it wants to work on. UF's recognition of the union should not have an effect on shared faculty governance, embodied in the Faculty Senate. Shared governance is for all faculty, whereas the union only represents some, Machen said. "If the union has a good idea -a really good idea -we should do it for everybody," he said. Minimum wage also factor PRICES, from page 1 director of operations for the Union. Another reason is the recent increase in the muunmum wage from $5.15 an hour to $6.15 an hour. "The Reitz Union hires 200 student employees, many of whom are minimum wage," Mironack said. This minimum-wage increase has caused Subway to raise its prices $0.10 more per sandwich and $0.30 more per meal, said Darren Andrews, Reitz Union Subway employee, who has been working there for a year and a half. Wendy's also recently chose to increase its prices by eliminating its $0.99 menu. The restaurant now charges $1.37 (with tax) for chicken nuggets and Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers, said Bradley Black, Reitz Union Wendy's shift manager. "This is mainly due to the fact that 28 percent of our sales go to paying rent to the Reitz Union," Black said. In order to alleviate future cost increases, the Student Senate has provided the Reitz Union with more Activity & Service Fee money, which accounts for 60 percent of the Union's budget, Mironack said. This year, the unionreceived an extra $237,770 in A&S fees, a total budget of $3,711,400 for the 2005-06 fiscal year. Although future price increases in the Reitz Union are difficult to predict, Mironack said he hopes prices stabilize soon so the Union won't have to cut back on the services provided to students and customers.

10, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14,2005 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" t "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Gator Launch-es minorities' careers 0 MENTORS SOUGHT FOR PROGRAM SPOTS THIS WEEK. By CHERYL CLARKE Alligator Contributing Writer Whether looking for a major or resume how-to, social and cultural minority students have a resource in the Gator Launch Minority Career Mentoring Program, which is looking for new mentor for its growing enrollment this week. Mentors can be UF -employees and students or other members of the Gainesville community and must have a bachelor's degree and at least one year of experience, said Anide Harrigan, assistant director for Career Development and Diversity. "Our mentors are very committed," she said. "They see it as really investing in a student's life." The program, organized through the Career Resource Center, is open to UF sophomores and first-semester juniors and focuses on the career development of minority Gators. "The program began in 2001 and started out as a minority program to help the university with retention of minority students," Harrigan said. Initially, Gator Launch was a response to Gov. Bush's One Florida initiative to assist with minority-student recruitment and retention. The program now accepts a broader range of students, includStudent ing disabled students and Life the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community, she said. "The first year we had 10 students," Harrigan said. "This year we're shooting for 60." Gator Launch Program Coordinator Tiffany Brown said not all the students who apply to be mentees will be selected. "We want students who are going to be committed and proactive," she said. Applicants must submit a two-page essay describing how Gator Launch will help achieve their career goals. Brown said students in the program receive career guidance, professional workshops and exposure to their -chosen field. "Aside from the mentoring program, they are also required to meet bi-weekly to encourage network skills and interview settings," she said. Gabriel DuPree, a 22-year-old wildlife ecology and conservation major, said the Gator Launch program was very helpful last year. "The most successful aspect of this program was learning professional skills," he said. "I learned how to perfect my resume and my etiquette." DuPree said he is willing to be a peer mentor to the incoming class if needed. "It's definitely a growing program," Harrigan said. "We want as many students as possible to get involved." Mentor interviews will be held at the CRC on Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 4: 40 p.m. and Friday from noon to 4 p.m. For more information about the program, visit the program's Web site at www.crc.ufl.edu/diversity.

"One thing that I've noticed about Chris Leak is that he hates to get hit," Tennessee defensive tackle Jesse Mahelona told the Knoxville News Sentinel. "You give him one real good, shot and that will affect him the rest of the game. Defensive end Justin Harrell elaborated on the Volunteers' game plan. "We're going to try to hit Leak as much as we can," Harrell said. "It's going to be the key to the game, how much we can hit Leak." The Gators' quarterback was the first victim of the annual trash talking fest, but don't expect anyone from UF to reply. "It doesn't bother me that they said that," Leak said. "Of course they are going to try and fire you up before the game. I won't talk about his mom or anything, but I will try to lead my team to a win." Andy Apicella / Alligator Chris Leak will try to stand up to a tough Tennessee defensive line Saturday. Some Volunteers linemen question Leak's toughness, claiming the quarterback is easily rattled by hard hits. After Tuesday's practice, Coach Urban Meyer took aside a few of his players and specifically asked them to take the high road this week. "Coach told us he wants us to prepare hard and leave the trash talking to Tennessee," offensive lineman Tavares Washington said. "I take the comments they made personally, but I'll take care of Chris during the game. "I'm protective of my quarterback. I love him to death." Trash talking aside, the Gators' battlewith the defensive front will decide the outcome of the game in more ways than one. Meyer has studied the UFTennessee rivalry extensively-this week and has paid special attention to the running game. In their last 15 meetings, the team that has rushed for more yards has won 13 times. Time of possession is key, and Tennessee has won the time of possession battle each of the last three years. Since 2002, Tennessee has had the ball an average of 6:30 longer than UF. "Whoever establishes the running game will set the tempo of the game," Leak said. "Our running backs will have to play a big part if we want to win this game." Last year, consistent running by Ciatrick Fason and junior DeShawnWynn helped to open up wider lanes downfield for the receivers. In the fourth quarter, Leak faked out the Volunteers' defense and television cameramen with a fake hand off on an 81-yard play-action pass to receiver Chad Jackson. The -ouchdown, UF's longest play from scrimmage since 1996, was the product of an established running game. The offensive line must open up lanes for whoever sees action at running back this week for the Gators. That could prove to be difficult, as Tennessee's strategy in years past has been to place two massive defensive tackles up the field to clog up the middle. Speedy linebackers, then, only have to cover the outside. In last year's game, outside linebacker Josh Burnett racked up 16 tackles. "Their defensive line is their strength and will probably be the best defensive line we face all year," Meyer said. "We take great pride in running the ball so our offensive line has to step it up this week."

Monday, Degory spoke to reporters about the magnitude the Tennessee game would have on a team, coaching staff and fan base. "Everything's going to come down to this game," Degory said. "I said it-this is our measuring stick. How our offense is going to do in the SEC, where we're going to end up at the end of the season. We know that and understand that. We've had this date marked since January, so we know the importance of hearts set on College Gameday visiting Gainesville, and "the Lee Corso has a yeast infection" and "Trev Alberts died in the tsunami" posters must be put away temporarily, it doesn't take away from how monumental this game is. In previous UF vs. UT matchups, the tale of the tape has revolved around the trenches. In 13 of the last 15 meetings, the team that has rushed the ball for more yards has come out on top. A telling statistic when you think of won three ofthtle last four games in the series, mainly because of their Ruben Studdard-esque offensive line. While they may not beas hearty and soulful, they've got the downright meatiness and girth you'd expect from Tennessee offensive linemen. Couple them with running backs that would make Larry Csonka proud, and you have Volunteers football.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 3 ALLIGATOR, 19 Receiver must block better By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Junior receiver Andre Caldwell drew the ire of UF coach Urban Meyer following Saturday's Louisiana Tech game. Meyer, who has cited motivational issues with the receiver in the past, said Caldwell lacked intensity in UF's 41-3 win Saturday. A stickler for blocking, receivers' coach Billy Gonzales dubbed some of Caldwell's blocks highlight-worthy, but said the junior lacked consistency. "You can't be up and down," Gonzales said. "There are things he did great. He threw a couple blocks. I put him on the highlight tape because he blocked excellent. But then there were some plays where he didn't make them. That's called inconsistency. You can't have that." Caldwell, who had one reception for 23 yards and one run for 26, admitted to having a lackluster performance but said motivation would not be an issue when No. 5 Tennessee comes to the Swamp on Saturday. "He didn't see that fire in me like he saw the previous week, and I didn't go Caldwell out and make plays," Caldwell said. "I had a down game." SLIGHT RETURNS: Blessed with such a stocked stable of speedsters, Meyer will not stand for the Gators' subpar punt returning. Cornerbacks Dee Webb and Vernell Brown have averaged -1.5 and 3.4 yards per punt return, respectively, for a combined 2.3 yards per return. Their long of 22 came against Wyoming courtesy of Brown. Meyer has suggested shaking up the return game, giving freshman cornerback Avery Atkins a shot but said improved blocking is still a must. "We have to block better," Meyer said. "We have Avery Atkins out there holding up a gunner, and he needs to get a little better. "Punt return around here has been an issue for a while. With kick returns, I think we're getting a little better although we dropped one. With punt returns, we need to get a lot better." KICKING IT: Junior punter Eric Wilbur was named to the 2005 Ray Guy Watch List Tuesday. The award is given annually to the top collegiate punter in the country. Wilbur, a coaches' pick for AllSoutheastern Conference preseason second team, is averaging 43.6 yards a punt this season and placed three punts inside the 20-yard line against Louisiana Tech.

"I was actually surprised about it," Booth said. "I don't generally expect to get noticed for that kind of ting."1 Burleigh's plan for a deep forward attack has also brought Booth up front this season. Offensively, Booth was involved in two of UF's four goals in the last two matches. The junior scored her first goal of the season against Loyola College and recorded an assist against WisconsinMilwaukee. "Mel is just such a versatile player," Burleigh said. "She does a lot to solidify that back line and she attacks as well." Booth is happy playing on either side of the field. "I'll just play wherever Becky needs me," she said. "It's not my choice to play one position or the other; it's wherever they need me or they decide to put me at that time."

Now the left knee is giving UF points leader Jasmine Johnson will spite lingering pain in her left knee. UF's top offensive threat problems. Johnson, a sophomore, underwent a precautionary MRI on her left knee last week, but managed to play in matches against Loyola College and Andy Apicella / Alligator continue to play deWisconsin-Milwaukee -during the weekend. But Johnson is playing with pain, UF coach Becky Burleigh said. "She's got an injury and she's just going to play through it," Burleigh said. "I think she's going to be ok." Coming back from surgery to repair a torn cruciate ligament in her right knee in December, Johnson has spurred the UF offense, leading all players with seven points through five games. SHUTOUT STREAK: When the Gators go up against No. 16 Florida State and Central Florida this weekend, state bragging rights won't be the only thing on the line. Led by goalkeeper Jen Gardner, the No. 13 UF defense has gone three consecutive games without allowing a goal, outscoring opponents 9-0 in the process. "The defense has been very impressive," Gardner said. "It's nice as a team to get a shutout, because you feel really secure about what your defense is doing." The streak will be put to the test on Friday against the Seminoles,-who average more than three goals per game. "We still feel like we can get better defensively, but we're going in the right direction," Burleigh said. "It's going to be tough to shut FSU out, they're a good team." HONORS: A two-time SoccerBuzz.com All-American, Melanie Booth added another accolade to her resume Monday as she was named Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Week. Booth's play at defender helped UF (4-1) to a pair of shutouts against Horizon League opponents Loyola College and SEE SOCCER, PAGE 19 UT's Clausen to start By IAN FISHER Alligator Staff Writer ifislier@aIIigator.org Tennessee quarterback Rick Clausen should be glad UF linebacker Todd McCullough isn't a vengeful person. Clausen's older brother, Casey, stills haunts McCullough from an incident two years ago. After Tennessee defeated UT 24-10 in the Swamp, Clausen celebrated by directing "Rocky Top" for his band. Naturally, McCullough wasn't too thrilled. While the rest of the Gators hurried into the locker room, McCullough couldn't. He stood at the end of the tunnel and watched the whole thing unfold. "Tears were almost rolling down my eyes, I hated it so bad," McCullough said. "It ate me up, it wrenched at me, it was just like a knot in your stomach watching that. "I won't ever forget that." So Rick Clausen, who will start Saturday, might bring back bad memories, but McCullough took the high road and said he wouldn't hold what Casey did against Rick. But Clausen, a senior, won't be the only quarterback concern for McCullough and the rest of the Gators' defense. Sophomore Erik Ainge will also play, Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer said. Last season, UF also saw two quarterbacks -Ainge and now-departed Brent Schaeffer. Schaeffer left the game early and Ainge picked UF's defense apart. UF coach Urban Meyer praised Ainge, even though he made some mistakes in Tennessee's only game -a 17-10 victory against UAB, in which Ainge threw two interceptions. "I think Erik Ainge is as talented a quarterback as there is," Meyer said. "I think he's going through some youth issues as far as experience. "Any time you have a couple of picks in the first game, a lot of times in close games that can be the difference." Ainge and Clausen are relatively similar in their styles of play, unlike last year, when Schaeffer was much more of a running quarterback. The difference between Clausen and Ainge lies mostly in the fact that Clausen is a senior and has more experience with meetings, Fulmer said. "Erik, on -r. the other hand, has a bit more mobility and the ability to get the ball down the field better from an arm-strength Clausen standpoint," 7ennessee Fulmer said. quarterback "It's my hope that we can catch Erik up as we go along." But Meyer isn't taking the armstrength bait. "With Rick Clausen, all that kid does is win games," Meyer said. "All I keep hearing is, 'Yeah, but his arm strength.' His arm strength is fine. "Just ask Texas A&M how his arm strength is." Meyer is referring to Tennessee's Cotton Bowl matchup with Texas A&M New Year's Day, in which Clausen threw for 222 yards and three touchdowns. A knock on Clausen is that he lacks mobility, but Meyer said it's enough to win games for the Volunteers. Although some might question alternating quarterbacks, Meyer endorsed it. Fulmer isn't too upset about the situation either. "We're fortunate to have two quarterbacks that can play in this league," Fulmer said. --.a 51bs ol Whey.$29.00 Free Workout with this ad!
