Impact questions Gator, SG spending


Editor's note: This is the third in a four-
part series outlining the issues of the
Student Senate Fall election.
By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org

Ever wonder what happens to that $8.64-
per-credit-hour Activity & Service Fee that
trickles out of students' bank accounts every
semester?
Last fiscal year, $14,325.66 of it went to
Student Government memorabilia, including
a stylized SG water bottle, a squeezable SG


foam alligator and SG-packaged and mono-
grammed chocolates and mints.
This administration's challenger in next
week's election, the Impact Party, is question-
ing these and other expenditures.
"They've become comfortable spending
other people's money, and no one has told
them 'no,'" said Impact Party President
Thomas Jardon, who classified himself as a
fiscal conservative.
But SG executives said the promotional
material is important for enticing student
interest. The items all but the chocolates
and key chains are marked with the phone


number, Web site and/or e-mail of the SG of-
fice, thereby informing students of how to get
involved.
"It's been a tremendous
success," Student Body
President Joe Goldberg
said. "I'm very happy
that we did it. As a matter
of fact, I think we need
more."
Goldberg Other student-funded
promotional merchandise
includes pens, notepads, folders, highlight-
ers, plastic cups and stress balls a total of


14 items.
From Summer C to the first week of
Fall 2005, SG and its offshoots Student
Government Productions, Accent and
Student Legal Services spent $67,187 on ad-
vertising. The new SG logo alone cost $1,600.
"We don't need to be flaunting SG if SG
is doing its job," Jardon said. "A&S fees are
paid for by every student at this institution.
Therefore, every student should benefit from
them."
Jardon said that free printing in all CIRCA
labs and expanded wireless Internet would

UF crowns three for


Homecoming finals


By OLIVIA ORMOS
Alligator Contributing Writer

As the minutes ticked down to
pageant time, the contestants for
this year's Miss Florida nibbled on
low-calorie snacks, applied their last
touch of bronzer and made sure each
strand of hair was perfectly in place.
The Phillips Center
On for the Performing
Campus Arts was transformed
into a runway Monday
as 31 contestants made their way
across the stage for the Florida Blue
Key Homecoming Pageant.
But only the three winners would
be on this year's Homecoming
Court, and they are Anne Imanuel,
Cat Jackson and Catherine Hough.
"I was nervous, but it was re-
ally great to hear my sorority sisters
of Alpha Delta Pi cheer me on,"
Jackson said. "It really helped me
get through the night."


Mari Wilensky, current Miss
Florida, and Jess Johnson, execu-
tive assistant to the vice president
for Student Affairs, presided as the
masters of ceremonies.
Wilensky will crown this year's
Homecoming queen at Gator Growl
on Oct. 7. Other winners included
Miss Photogenic Julia Weiss, and
Miss Congeniality Rebecca Gaff.
To start the pageant, the con-
testants danced a choreographed
routine in black cocktail dresses to
"Simply Irresistible."
All contestants entered the stage
and stepped up to the microphone
receiving applause while introduc-
ing themselves and their sponsors to
the audience and judges.
The audience consisted mostly of
female supporters who cheered and
held cut-out letters spelling their
sororities' Greek letters.

murals and graffiti Monday.
Inside the Southwest 13th Street underpass
from Norman Hall to the UF campus, graffiti
has covered nearly every inch of wall space
for years.
But a UF civil and coastal engineering
graduate student who asked to remain anony-
mous decided to take on the project of cover-
ing the south wall with white paint because he
said it was an "eyesore."


He plans to return occasionally to paint
over the fresh graffiti, he said.
"I come through here a couple
Stud ent times a day, and it bugs me to see
tjf this," he said.
Shirtless, with greenish shorts,
sandals and ruffled blond hair,
the student smiled and continued working
with his paint roller as a passerby called his
effort a "waste of time."

"A lot of people walk by and mumble stuff

"I had some friends that said they like the
graffiti," he said. "But they said, 'If this makes
you happy, go ahead.'"

CAMPUS
UF offers Constitution forum
Built on its the free-speech cor-
nerstone, civil-rights bricks and the
pillars of the three branches of gov-
ernment, the United States relies
on the mortar of its Constitution,
which will be the centerpiece of a
campus forum Wednesday.
UF will hold "The U.S.
Constitution in the New Century"
panel discussion as part of a nation-
wide observance of the first annual
Constitution Day.
"I see it as an opportunity," said
David Hedge, UF political science
professor. "The world has changed.
The country has changed."
Hedge volunteered to plan
the university's Constitution Day
event and decided that a round
table discussion featuring a panel
of government officials and uni-
versity political science, history
and law professors would offer
interesting debate on constitu-
tional issues.
"I can't think of anything that
affects people more," said Hedge,
picking up a pocket-sized copy
of the approximately 4,440-word
Constitution. "It's just barely a
Gordon Rule course."
This will be the first year
schools around the country ob-
serve the-occasion after Congress
passed legislation mandating that
all schools receiving federal fund-
ing should host events focusing
on the Constitution on Sept. 17,
the day the document was signed
in 1787.
Since the date fell on a weekend
this year, schools had the option
of observing Constitution Day a
week earlier or later.
Hedge said that while most
people need a better understand-
ing of the Constitution, the nation
is engaged in constitutional de-
bates all the time on issues from
corporate crime to the powers of
the presidency.
As moderator Hedge will lead
the panel in discussions on issues
including euthanasia, gay rights,
women's rights and the changing
Supreme Court.
Elizabeth Dale, UF legal history
professor and a former civil rights
attorney will be a panelist.
"One thing we can say is the
Supreme Court in the next couple
of years is going to be one of the
great detective stories of all time,"
Dale said. "We don't know what
justices will do until they do it."
She said many of the issues the

Marissa Noel said she worries
about the effects the Patriot Act
and the Supreme Court's re-
cent ruling on eminent domain
- the right of government to
seize private property for public
use will have on her consti-
tutional rights to privacy and
property.
"I just pretty much think that
it may be a precursor to other
infringements," Noel said of the
Patriot Act.
Although she didn't know
about Constitution Day or the

rights were important to inform
and empower people to fight
back on issues such as eminent

Gator Growl talent show tonight at new location


By ZACH WEISSMUELLER
Alligator Contributing Writer
Gator Growl Talent Night will proceed as
planned tonight despite a change in venue.
The event, originally scheduled at The
Venue, will now take place across the street at
Abbey Road, 238 W University Ave.
The show will feature singers and dance
groups from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. followed by a
battle of the bands competition until 2 a.m.,
said Ashley Metzel, director of Gator Growl
Talent Night.


She said she expects the battle of the bands
competition to draw a large crowd, and the
singers and dancers will draw their own fans.
"We're going to have a real diverse group
coming out," Metzel said.
All of the show's participants will have the
opportunity to be selected to perform at Gator
Growl 2005. A panel of judges will choose win-
ners in each talent category and award prizes.
Metzel said The Venue recently underwent
management changes, and Talent Night had
been double-booked.
Peter Gonzalez, an associate producer for


Gator Growl, said both clubs were cooperative
in the effort, but Abbey Road offered the ideal
date of today made in the original announce-
ment of the event.
"It's kind of hard to go do
On this thing on a Monday or some-
CampUS thing when everybody is at The
Swamp," he said.
Gonzalez also works in promotions for
Abbey Road, but he said he will make no mon-
ey from the change in venue. Neither dub was
planning to charge Student Government for
space. There is no cover charge for the event.


"Either way there's no money being spent,"
Gonzalez said.
The owner of Abbey Road, Randy Grinter,
said he is not paying Gonzalez for bringing the
event to his club, and the only money his busi-
ness will make will be from beverage sales. He
said he thinks of it as a public service.
"There's no downside," Grinter said.
Metzel said stage presence was a strong
consideration in selecting participants for
Talent Night.
"So many people can just sing, but not ev-
erybody can sing in front of a crowd," she said.

Soulful singing helps heal hurricane-damaged lives


By TIM HUSSIN
Alligator Contributing Writer

After packing 15 people into
a small pickup truck, Alexis and
Jonathan Hunter finally escaped
Louisiana five days after Hurricane
Katrina hit.
Holding back tears, Alexis held
a poem entitled "I ain't no refu-
gee," which she read in front of ap-
proximately 250 people during the
University Gospel Choir Charity
Concert in the Reitz Union Grand
Ballroom on Sunday.
The concert was organized to
collect canned goods and sup-
plies to send to the American Red
Cross for survivors of Hurricane
Katrina.
The poem described percep-
tions of those living in Louisiana
and the issues surrounding the
disaster.
Alexis brought up issues of de-
layed supplies, disorganized aid,
and lost family and friends.
"Too little, too late," she recited.
"Why is security the question
when we are just hungry to sur-
vive? Are we refugees because of
the food and water we looted?"
Attendees were asked to bring
canned goods or other supplies as
an admission charge.
"We collected over 250 cans

rice, spaghetti, noodles and other University Gospel Choir. The choir entertained the crowd,
small non-perishable goods," said "We even got a few bags of singing songs following the theme,


"I need you to survive." The crowd
was encouraged to stand up and
participate throughout the show,
clapping and dancing.
"Gospel music requires some
hand clapping and some .foot
stomping," said David Richardson
II, the conductor of the choir. "We
want you to stand up with us and
groove with us."
Swaying, the choir sang out,
"You are important to me. I need
you to survive. I need you. You
need me. Stand with me. Agree
with me."
Two Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority members contributed a
dance and song in the middle of
the show.
The performances expressed
the need to find a spiritual sanctu-
ary in the midst of disaster.
The choir ended with a song
that inspired audience participa-
tion. Afterward, information about
helping the survivors who were
unable to escape the hurricane was
posted.
Unlike many, the Hunters said
they were able to leave the city
with their health.
Anyone can donate by visiting
www.redcross.org or by calling
the Alachua County division of
the American Red Cross at 376-
4669.

* STUDENTS CAN DONATE
BACKPACKS AT TIGERT HALL.

By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer

From backpacks to blood, UF
students are getting creative in
their efforts to help Hurricane
Katrina victims.
Instead of having students dig
through their pockets for loose
change, campus political organi-
zations have found more innova-
tive alternatives for students who
want to help in Katrina relief
efforts.
A backpack drive sponsored
by the UF College Democrats
was kicked off Monday night to
benefit the victims.
The organiza-
tion is collecting
:" backpacks and
small bags in
Hurricane which victims can
Katrina store the items
they are receiving
through other donations.'
Victims are getting money and
other items from different places,
but what "they don't have is
something to hold their belong-
ings," said Andrea Garces, vice
president of philanthropy for the
UF College Democrats.
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency is paying
for the UPS shipment, she said.
The collection will continue
for a week or two, Garces said.
Students can donate backpacks at
140 Tigert Hall.
UF College Republicans just
finished a.weeklong blood drive-
in remembrance of Sept. 11, 2001,
which is also helping victims of
Hurricane Katrina.
As far as efforts dedicated
solely to Hurricane Katrina vic-
tims, the organization is still in
the planning process.
"We haven't done any mone-
tary donations yet," said College
Republicans' Chairman Ashlee
Black.
Black said she expects they
will collect money or hold a
fundraiser soon to donate money
to the survivors.
The Red Cross indicated that

money, Black said.
"Right now the only idea that
we've had is to pass a hat at the
meetings or a silent auction, off
campus, of course," she said.
Black said she is encouraging
all active College- Republicans to
donate as much as possible to the
cause.

Mayor Ray Nagin recently announced plans to al-
low 180,000 residents back into sections of the city by Sept. 26.
Fortunately, he suspended his plans Monday, citing the
chance that Tropical Storm Rita may hit Louisiana.
Even he can be convinced that some duct-taped levees aren't
going to survive God's tiniest sneeze.
But his complete incompetence wasn't completely halted.
Thousands of residents, mostly business owners, already
returned to the Algiers neighborhood when Nagin flipped his
outlook.
Although Algiers received a minimal hit by Hurricane
Katrina and is reported to have safe drinking water, Nagin
should be fired immediately for displaying such incompetence
.and insanity. Then we should put a sock in his mouth and tie his
hands behind his back to prevent any further tragedies.
This same kind of political maneuvering led to the deaths of
so many New Orleans residents in the first place.
Nagin refused to organize an effective mandatory evacu-
ation before Katrina because he apparently couldn't grasp, or
didn't want to face, the catastrophe on his hands. Now he is
hoping to repopulate the city to show the world that everything
is OK.
Is he willing to sacrifice his constituency for a public rela-
tions campaign? We're afraid to hear the answer to that one.
His own words reflect his disconnect from reality.
"We're bringing New Orleans back," he said. "I'm tired of
hearing these helicopters. I want to hear some jazz."
Apparently, Nagin has tuned out the nation's discussions on
how difficult reconstruction will be.
It's preposterous for Nagin to endanger residents simply be-
cause he doesn't want to see any more death and destruction.
It's even more nuts to think tourists will return to the city
any time soon.
The only tourists Nagin will be seeing are those hoping to
help Katrina victims, since he seems bent on creating more
chaos.
Most of the city has no water or electricity, no 911 service and
no working hospitals.
That's no place for people to live, and it's the government's
job to keep them out.
Displaced residents always want to go back home. That
doesn't mean the mayor should let them.
After making this mistake and letting some people in Algiers
on Monday, Nagin almost immediately told them to evacuate.
So he created another mini-evacuation. We all know how
good he is at those.
And what would he have done if more of the city were re-
populated when Rita threatened?
The levees are useless. Buildings are unsafe. Shelters are
nonexistent, and roads are less than perfect:
Nagin could have created a repeat of his past mistakes.
He should be relieved of his position, and the federal gov-
ernment should take over. At least the latter is beginning to
show signs of intelligence.
Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen made his disdain of the
move public. To this valid criticism, Nagin brilliantly retorted
that Allen had made himself "the new-crowned federal mayor
of New Orleans."
These are obviously the well-thought-out words of a bom
leader.
Following this name calling, however, Nagin reversed his
position on the repopulation after a serious talk with Allen.
This mayor is like a 5-year-old playing dress-up.
He needs to go to the naughty comer before he causes any
more damage.

Column

Media should hold off praising coach


Can we put the ball washing on hold for a couple of
weeks?
With the win over Tennessee, Urban Meyer is
already being heralded as the second coming of Steve
Spurrier.
This is ridiculous.
The man has coached the Gators for all of three games
this season, not nearly enough time to make any definitive
judgment. As coach of the Gators, Meyer has now won
exactly one more big game than I have.
You know who else won a big game against Tennessee
early in his first season as Gator coach? Ron Zook.
I'm hot saying Urban Meyer isn't a great coach. My
point here is that we just don't know yet.
The Gators won on Saturday because their defense was
incredible. Who can say if that was due to outstanding
coaching or simply a highly talented group of players?
Who can say they'll be this good on the road against LSU?
No one can.
That's why I want everyone to slow down a bit before
deciding Urban Meyer is the best thing since sliced bread
(or Fun N' Gun, for that matter).
The sports journalism establishment has a horrible, ten-
dency to give coaches too much credit after wins and too
much blame after losses.
For instance, in the euphoria after Saturday's win, a
columnist from this very paper called Meyer names like
"The Urbinator" and. "Mr. Destiny."
Why? I wouldn't call him those names even if every-
thing that happened in the game were directly due to his
influence.
The Gator offense, for the most part, looked terrible.
I credit the Tennessee defenders for that, but Meyer was
the man calling the shots, and his play-calling was so
conservative, I could have sworn the Gators hired Dave
Wannstedt.


Except for the misdirection play
that netted the Gators their only
touchdown, the offense could not
have been more basic. Every run
was straight up the middle, every
pass attempt was to the same tired
Andrew Meyer hook routes. I was screaming dur-
Editorial Notebook ing an entire quarter for the Gators
ameyer@alligator.org to try a slant (which they eventu-
ally did, for a 20-yard gain), or a
play-action pass (they didn't even
attempt one.) They managed only a pair of field goals the
two times they were given outstanding field position.
But just as I don't give Meyer all the credit for the de-
fense, I don't give him all the blame for the offense either.
I think the defense was incredible mostly because they
have incredible players.
Similarly, I think the offense was poor because it's run
by a poor quarterback.
That's right, I think Chris Leak is a bad player.
I'm not questioning his arm strength or his tools.
Instead, I think he makes terrible decisions. He doesn't
know when to throw the ball away. That, coupled with a
weak offensive line, means he is always getting sacked. He
focuses on one receiver, which makes his passes infinitely
easier to defend. He can run, but he rarely does, and even
then he never goes for the extra yard. He can throw-on the
run, but the Gators never roll him out.
Honestly, I wish Josh Portis was starting.
Again, if we give the coach all the credit or blame, then
Leak's shortcomings are Meyer's fault. And I don't think
that's fair either.
I think Urban Meyer, and his spread offense, will ulti-
mately succeed.
But to deify him after three games? Please.
Andrew Meyer is a journalism sophomore.

Letters to the Editor
Kanye West was hasty in his comment
I did not see the original cartoon printed
by the Alligator on Sept. 13. However, after
being told of its contents, I laughed.
Yes, I an African American female and a
double minority laughed.
It's preposterous that Condoleezza Rice
would ever stoop so low and use such a
term.
And it's preposterous that everyone ex-
pects the Alligator to apologize.
We didn't protest the cartoons about (for-
mer Student Body President) Jamal Sowell or
Joe Goldberg, both prominent campus politi-
cians who were ridiculed for their views. We
didn't ridicule the Alligator when it printed a
cartoon depicting sorority girls with worms


p


on their heads being hazed by fraternity
boys. Yet we want to march across campus
when it uses the "n-word."
It has to be all or nothing. You can't con-
demn a paper an independent paper at
that some of the time, whenever you feel
like it. Frankly, the whole point of the political
cartoons in the Opinions section is to voice
the paradigms of an individual or group.
I think Kanye West, although a great per-
former, was hasty in his comment.
Whether or not the comment he made
about Bush was true, his stating the fact did
nothing to ameliorate the matter and instead
created a tension among Americans.
Edwine Cherubin
4JM


Rice's status is not a leap for blacks
With regard to his depiction of Condoleezza
Rice with Kanye West, Alligator cartoonist
Andy Marlette stated, "I can picture a black
woman saying that to a black man."
If it was realism Marlette was aiming for,
can he really see that particular black woman,
Condoleezza Rice, using that terminology?
His further willingness to defend his use of
the word "nigga" on the basis of its frequent
use in pop culture indicates that the full extent
of his knowledge of how black people commu-
nicate with each other is derived from movies,
TV and rap music. Reliance on portrayals in
pop-. culture leads to complete ignorance of
the ongoing, emotional debate among black
people about the use of the word "nigger" and
the nuances surrounding use of the word.


Amore significant issue here is the meaning
of the cartoon. Condoleezza Rice's status as
Secretary of State doesn't represent any great
leap forward for black people, nor is it any in-
dication of Bush's interest in setting an agenda
addressing racial inequality. Willingness to
embrace individual blacks is not equivalent to
addressing systemic inequities. Anyone who
thinks so is woefully underinformed.
Given that Rice was playing tennis and
shopping on Madison Avenue during the
week of the Gulf Coast debacle, it's apparent
that setting such an agenda is of little concern
to her. In fact Marlette might have more aptly
and realistically depicted Rice saying, "Forget
them! I'm doing all right myself!"

SG used more than $14K of student money on self-promoting swag


SPENDING, from page 1

be wiser expenditures of student
money.
Impact has also questioned
the $3,338.72 lobbying trip to
Washington, Ei.C., that five top SG
officials took during Summer B.
But SG Lobby Coordinator
Thomas Philpot said it was "abso-
lutely imperative" that the Florida
congressmen who legislate finan-


cial aid meet the representatives of
UF's student body.
"I think that made [the congress-
men] pay a lot more attention to the
real issue and the real face of fed-
eral financial aid," Philpot said. "I
didn't take it as a personal trip."
Earlier last summer, the of-
fices of Goldberg, Student Body
Vice President Joyce Medina and
Student Senate Pro Tempore John
Boyles were refurnished for a total
of $4,466.66.
"The desks were falling apart,"


Goldberg said. "I tried to pull out
the keyboard tray to type, and it
fell in my lap."
He said new chairs were pur-
chased because the old couch was
not appropriate
Student for his work
Government space.
"I needed to
have a more professional atmo-
sphere in my office," he said.
SG executives and bureau
chairs also receive monthly cell
phone stipends. Goldberg's* is


highest at $50.
Goldberg, Accent Chairman
Evan Tyroler and SGP Chairman.
Joey Van de Bogart have student-
funded Blackberry devices with
unlimited data plans.
Goldberg's service costs
$107.94 monthly, plus a $99 start-
up fee.
Van de Bogart said he gets
about 100 e-mails per day on his
BlackBerry. He said it increases
his productivity, noting that he
has planned twice as many Fall


concerts as his predecessor, Jeff
Yeatman, did.
"The student body, by provid-
ing me with a phone, made me
work harder for them because I
am constantly working for them,"
he said.
Impact spokeswoman Allison
Cullin denounced SG's use of stu-
dent money for self-promotion.
"Go up to the SG offices," she
urged students. "Ask for your wa-
ter bottle. Ask for your little alliga-
tor you paid for it."


Queen will be chosen at Gator Growl


PAGEANT, from page 1.


The five judges who critiqued the ladies
were Shelley Meyer, Michael Blachly, Darius
Dunn, Roslyn F. Levy and Cynthia Thibault.
"The judging for the pageant is not just
based on beauty but rather 65 percent goes
to the contestant's GPA, formal interview and
resume of campus and community involve-
ment," Garrison said. "The remainder of the
judging is based on formal and casual wear
and, of course, the final question."
Before going on stage, Randi Lieberman
of Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority said, "Win or


lose, after the pageant I am going out to eat
a cheeseburger and fries, something very
unpageant-like."
Entertainment was provided by the UF
Danza team, which performed two dances be-
tween the casual and formal wear segments.
The final question of the night asked what
contestants saw themselves contributing to
the Gator Nation after graduation.
Finalists all had similar responses, stating
they would want to become mentors to stu-
dents of the university.
Scarborough Insurance, Gainesville Floral
Exchange and the Village Jeweler were spon-
sors of the Homecoming Pageant.


Student undid years of murals, art


GRAFFITI, from page 1

Though some students shared the
painter's dismay over the graffiti, others
preferred a colorful wall to a white one.
"I prefer it being decorated," paint-
ing major Matt Hill said. "I don't think
any art should be covered up unless it is
derogatory."
Ed Poppell, vice president for finance
and administration at UF, said the uni-
versity treats the underpass as part of its
property, maintaining the lights and the
pipes that run through it.
He said the university has taken steps
to prevent graffiti on the underpass, such
as allowing sanctioned artwork from lo-
cal schools and clubs on the walls.


He would prefer students work with
UF in efforts to fight graffiti, he said.
The student wrote in an e-mail
that he prefers to remain anonymous
because his effort is still "kind of a per-
sonal thing" and "it is too soon to be
taking credit."
He only painted the south wall of
the underpass because the other wall
is covered with chill water and steam
pipes that would make the job too time-
consuming.
The student said he lived next to the
34th Street Wall for a few years. He re-
spected the artistry of the murals and was
dismayed to see them ruined by graffiti.
"[The art] used to be tasteful, but now
they just do not care. They will spray
paint over anything," he said.

McDonald to miss 4 to 6 weeks


* EARILEST POSSIBLE RETURN FOR DE-
FENSIVE END COULD COME AGAINST LSU.

By ANDREW ABRAMSON and ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Staff Writers

The No. 5 Gators received somewhat relieving
news on Monday when the team learned star defen-
sive end Ray McDonald would miss just four to six
weeks with a partially torn ACL in his right knee,
suffered in UF's 16-7 victory against Tennessee.
While McDonald's absence will certainly hurt a
defense currently ranked No. 2 in the nation, it was
initially feared that McDonald would miss the entire
season.
After leading the team with 10 tackles for
losses a year ago, the new UF coaching staff shifted
McDonald from defensive tackle to end, the posi-
tion he played in high school. The move allowed
McDonald to play more freely and utilize his speed.
Now the Gators must regroup. Joe Cohen will
return to the starting role he held a year ago, while
redshirt freshman Derrick Harvey who could be
one of the more talented players on the team will
also see time at defensive end.
"I feel good about Derrick Harvey and Joe
Cohen. I trust them," said senior Jeremy Mincey,
UF's other starting defensive end. "Harvey's young,
but the more he plays, the more snaps he gets, the
better he can get.
"That's a big plus that Joe Cohen is already ex-
perienced."
The news came one day after receiver Andre
Caldwell underwent surgery to repair a broken leg,
also suffered in the Tennessee victory.
"We're talking about two great young men," UF
coach Urban Meyer said.
"lay McDonald is a different man [this year] as
is Andre Caldwell. They were making such a good
push up to right now."

NOT ON THE OFFENSIVE: While UF's defense is sud-
denly overshadowing an offense expected to be
among the best in the nation, Meyer a coach often
critical of his offense said he's satisfied where the

working on coming out and taking this

ndre Caldwell honed in on the end
zone. Ten wayward Tennessee de-
fenders could only glance back in
disbelief. Tens of thousands of Gators fans
could only gaze into the future.
For Caldwell, this is how it was sup-
posed to be.
Urban Meyer's spread option was to
catapult the junior to the upper echelon
of collegiate football
stardom.
The Gators' sole
touchdown against
the Vols on Saturday
seemed to provide a
Bryan App glimpse of that.
App-etite As Chris Leak ran
for Receptions an option play to the
bapp@alligator.org left, Caldwell sprung
back behind the quar-
terback to the right.
As the Tennessee defense collapsed on
Leak, Caldwell took a reverse pitch.
With wheels like Caldwell's, it should've
been illegal.
Eighteen yards and one block later and
Caldwell began to realize his destiny.
This was why he came to UF.
This was to be the season. Little more
than one quarter later, it was finished.
Running back the opening kick of the
second half, a helmet to the right thigh
ended his season. But as Caldwell was
carted off the field wincing in pain from a
broken leg, it was harder to tell who hurt
more him or his fellow receivers.
"I didn't think it was that bad of a hit,
but the more I saw, my stomach dropped
a little bit," junior Jemalle Cornelius said.
"We were just in a bit of a daze because
everybody expected him to just pop back
up. We saw he was down for a pretty long
time, and it just took the wind out of you for
a little bit."
When a guy like Caldwell goes down,
responsibility tends to set in as subtly as a
freight train to the solar plexus.
But it's OK. Breathe, Jemalle, breathe.
Without question, the Gators will feel the
strain of Caldwell's departure.
With his kind of speed, it seems Caldwell
was born for Meyer's system.
And the coach kept no secrets ab6iut
whom he considered his top playmaker
during spring and summer workouts. Now,

group currently stands.
He even singled out wide re-
ceiver Jemalle Cornelius, whose role
suddenly triples now that Caldwell
is out for the year.
"We had no turnovers [against
Tennessee] and we had the ball for a
long time," Meyer said.
"Jemalle Cornelius came out a
winner, and Chris Leak played ex-
tremely hard."

CHAMPION DEFENSE: In past
weeks, making Meyer's postgame
Champions Club hasn't been an
easy feat, even though the Gators
have won all three of their games.
On Monday, Meyer rewarded
the Gators' defensive performance
against Tennessee.
Steven Harris, Marcus Thomas,
Jeremy Mincey, Brandon Siler, Earl
Everett, Todd McCullough, Vernell


Brown, Kyle Jackson, Reggie Nelson,
Dee Webb and Jarvis Herring all
made the club, but it was the mem-
bers of the secondary that graded
out as the biggest difference-makers.
"Jarvis Herring had 11 opportu-
nities to make a play and he made all
11," Meyer said.
"If you are wondering how we
won that game, it's those two stats
right there."
After holding the Volunteers
to just 7 points, UF's defense is
ranked second in the nation behind
Connecticut. The Gators are giving
up an average of 8 points a game
and 199 yards to opposing teams in
the Swamp.
"I don't think I've been around a
team that's played better defense,"
Meyer said.
"They played an excellent foot-
ball team who has a great tradition
of running the ball, and they shut
them down."


three unproven juniors and a
former quarterback must fill
the void.
Even as Caldwell writhed
in a hospital bed Saturday
night, Meyer already was busy
challenging Cornelius and


other receivers to dive into
Caldwell's Nikes.
Only, nobody is quite sure
how big they are.
Coming to UF rated as a
No. 1 receiving prospect in the
country, Caldwell never fully
lived up to the hype, -scoring
just three touchdowns before
that nifty reverse.
Even in all its beauty, the


play callers, not the playmak-
ers, made Saturday's reverse
play.
With 10 of Tennessee's 11 de-
fenders halfway to Newberry,
320-pound offensive guard
Tavares Washington could've
stuck that one in.
So while Caldwell's imme-
diate future appears murky,
the Gators' is simply unclear.


Killingsworth stands out as inside presence


VOLLEY, from page 16


said head coach Mary Wise had the team pre-
pared for FSU's emotional outbursts.
"[Wise] knew they were going to be an emo-
tional team coming in here, so she made sure we
were focused on what we were doing and not
worried about what is going on over on their side
of the net," Hampton said.
The Gators took game one 30-20, clinching the
game on an attack error by FSU's Lauren Scott.
McCray led the Gators with five kills on six at-
tempts in the opening game, while FSU hit for an
anemic -.049 percentage in the game. UF scored
6 of the last 7 points to claim game two 30-23.
Angie McGinnis led the Gators with four kills
out of the setter position while tallying 12 assists
in the process.


McGinnis has been working on her offensive
game, employing a sort of hook shot with her off-
hand to try to catch defenses napping.
"I think you have to try to catch them off-
guard, you have to be tricky with it and know
when to do it," McGinnis said. "Hopefully by
the end of the season I'll get at least five kills a
night that's my goal."
UF cruised to a 7-0 lead in the third and decid-
ing game before the Gators ended the game and
the match with a 30-16 score.
Sophomore Kisya Killingsworth had a career-
high nine blocks in the match, and finally began
to look like the strong inside presence the Gators
have lacked all season.
"Wouldn't you like to play defense around
Kisya Killingsworth?" Wise asked. "You don't
get many opportunities, certainly today, because
of the way she blocked."

* ROLE PLAYERS TAKING
LARGER ROLE IN OFFENSE


By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer

Prior to this season, UF coach
Mary Wise was asked whether Jane
Collymore could be counted on
to be a dominant star a player
who would have the ability to take
over a match the way Aury Cruz -
did during UF's run to the NCAA
Championship match in 2003.
It's a tough comparison to
make.
Cruz was a three-time first-team
All-American, while Collymore en-
ters her second season as the Gators
featured player.
Collymore has shown that abil-
ity to take over a match. In UF's
Sept. 10 win against Southern
California, she racked up 30 kills,
including 11 of the Gators' 15 kills
in the second game.
While Collymore continues to
get the most swings on the team,.
UF has been spreading the love
around all season. Monday night
was no different, as eight different
players recorded kills for the Gators
in their 3-0 sweep of Florida State.
"Bottom line, when in a three-
game match when four players are
in double-digit points, that's great
point production," Wise said. "That
means that we're getting kills,
blocks and ace serves. We're getting
contribution in lots of ways."

Luanne Dietz/ Alligator
While UF volleyball star Jane Collymore is counted on to lead a young UF team, her teammates are
pitching in as well.


Those double-doubles came
from Marcie Hampton, Amber
McCray, Kisya Killingsworth and
Collymore. Combine the statis-
tics of -Angie McGinnis and Kari
Klinkenborg and UF recorded five
double-doubles.
Wise has emphasized to her
team that getting scoring out of all


six spots on the floor is the best way
for her team to be successful, and a
lot of that distribution comes from
pre-game scouting.
"A lot of it is game-plan specific
and based on where we think we
can get points," Wise said. "There
are times when it may look like
[McGinnis] is favoring one hitter


over another, but that is by de-
sign."
Wise has- preached patience
with outside hitters Collymore and
Hampton, who see the bulk of the
sets."
While the two took 31 and 24
swings respectively against the
Seminoles, they also opened the

door for the opposite hitters and
middle blockers to step up and
make plays.
Killingsworth had nine kill, and
a career-high nine blocks out of the
middle, and McCray recorded eight
kills and two blocks.
"We have so many players
averaging over two kills a game,"
McCray said. "Teams have to
worry about defending all different
spots on the floor, so it's really go-
ing to help us."
As last year's Southeastern
Conference Freshman of the Year,
McGinnis has the task of getting
the ball to where all of her various
weapons can hit it. She doesn't,
however, take into account how
many sets are going to each player.
"As a setter you really don't
think about it that way," she said.
"It depends on what they're do-
ing. If they're going to block our
outside hitters then I'm going to
try to give most of the balls to our
middles."
For her part, Collymore believes
that distributing the ball among all
the team's scorers can only help
the Gators.
"We're a much more effective
team if the ball can go to five or six
really strong players rather than
one person," she said. "Because if
you think about it from a blocking
standpoint, if the defense knows
the ball is going to one person
over and over again, they'll kind
of stand there."

UF FOOTBALL

New defensive scheme showing results


By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
y, aabramson@alligator.org

No offense Urban Meyer, but Chris
Leak and Co. are getting overshadowed
by an unlikely bunch of headliners.
After shutting down Tennessee's of-
fense in Saturday's 16-7 victory against
the Volunteers, UF's defense is second to
just ene.
Not only are the Gators giving up the
least yards in the Southeastern Conference,
but also the 199 yards allowed per game is
second best in the entire NCAA, trailing
only Connecticut.
Meyer's spread offense and UF's ar-
ray of talented receivers received all the
preseason buzz, but the Gators scoring of-


fense currently ranks just sixth in the SEC
and 45th in the nation.
And it was UF's defense that spent
much of the summer trying to shed the
label of late game choke-artists.
"If you watch film on us, you can see
we're chasing the ball better than last year,"
linebacker Earl Everett said. "The d-line is
playing better, the linebackers are holding it
down more. I think we're more aggressive
than last year."
Last year's defense ranked just sixth
in the SEC, and virtually the same unit
returned minus star linebacker Charming
Crowder.
But the defensive players credit much
of the turnaround to new defensive coor-
dinator Greg Mattison, who splits duties


Andy Apicella / Alligator
After linebacker Earl Everett and the Gators held Tennessee to -4 rushing yards in the
second half, UF's scoring defense ranks No. 2 in the nation.


with Charlie Strong, the only holdover
from the previous coaching regime.
While the defense was put through the
same grueling off-season workouts as the
rest of the team, Mattison brought a new
aggressive, blitz-heavy philosophy to
the defense. Suddenly players that were
mediocre at best last season rank among
the SEC leaders in various statistical cat-
egories.
Although the defense may experience a
slight drop-off now that starting defensive
end Ray McDonald is expected to miss
four to six weeks with an ACL injury in
his right knee, even career backups have
been starring for UF this season.
At 5-foot-8, Vernell Brown spent much
of his career floating from position to po-
sition while seeing little action. This year,
the senior nabbed a starting cornerback
job and currently leads the Gators with
18 tackles.
"After seeing these kids work all win-
ter, I knew they had a chance to be pretty
darn good because they showed pride and
they showed work ethic," Mattison said.
"They're a year older. I really think
they believe in what we're doing and I
think they want to leave here knowing.
that they've had a chance to do something
special."
Mattison said head coach Urban Meyer
knew exactly what he was doing when he
assembled a staff that included Mattison,
Strong and other respected defensive
minds like cornerbacks coach Chuck
Heater and safeties coach Doc Holliday.
"There's no egos," Mattison said. "That
to me is special. We all have the same
goals."
Mattison realizes it takes more than
motivational speeches for his defense to
realize what its capable of achieving. So he
spends hours showing game film from the
NFL and highlights of some of Mattison's
previous stars at Notre Dame, including
current Baltimore Ravens star defensive
end Anthony Weaver.
"If they know the way you coached
that guy on film is the same way you're
coaching them, I think they listen bet-
ter," Mattison said. "They say OK, it must
work."

VOLUME 99 ISSUE 15 the independent florida Not officially associated by Campus COM1nunications Inc. of Ganesulle, Florida We Inform. You Decide. Recyale, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 tq estlons Gator, SG spending Editor's note: This is the third in a fourpart series outlining the issues of the Student Senate Fall election. By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@alligator.org Ever wonder what happens to that $8.64per-credit-hour Activity & Service Fee that trickles out of students' bank accounts every semester? Last fiscal year, $14,325.66 of it went to Student Governent memorabilia, including a stylized SG water bottle, a squeezable SG foam alligator and SG-packaged and monogrammed chocolates and mints. This administration's challenger in next week's election, the Impact Party, is questioning these and other expenditures. "They've become comfortable spending other people's money, and no one has told them 'no,"' said Impact Party President Thomas Jardon, who classified himself as a fiscal conservative. But SG executives said the promotional material is important for enticing student interest. The items -all but the chocolates and key chains -are marked with the phone number, Web site and/or e-mail of the SG office, thereby informing students of how to get involved. "It's been a tremendous success," Student Body President Joe Goldberg said. "I'm very happy that we did it. As a matter of fact, I think we need more." Goldberg Other student-funded promotional merchandise includes pens, notepads, folders, highlighters, plastic cups and stress bals -a total of 14 items. From Summer C to the first week of Fall 2005, SG and its offshoots Student Goverr-nent Productions, Accent and Student Legal Services spent $67,187 on advertising. The new SG logo alone cost $1,600. "We don't need to be flaunting SG if SG is doing its job," Jardon said. "A&S fees are paid for by every student at this institution. Therefore, every student should benefit from them." Jardon said that free printing in all CIRCA labs and expanded wireless Internet would SEE SPENDING, PAGE 8 UF rowns three for Hormecoming finals By OLIVIA ORMOS Alligator Contributing Writer As the minutes ticked down to pageant time, the contestants for this year's Miss Florida nibbled on low-calorie snacks, applied their last touch of bronzer and made sure each strand of hair was perfectly in place. The Phillips Center Ofn for the Perforning Campus Arts was transformed into a runway Monday as 31 contestants made their way across the stage for the Florida Blue Key Homecoming Pageant. But only the three winners would be on this year's Homecoming Court, and they are Anne Imanuel, Cat Jackson and Catherine Hough. "I was nervous, but it was really great to hear my sorority sisters of Alpha Delta Pi cheer me on," Jacksonusaid. "It really helped me get through the night." Mari Wilensky, current Miss Florida, and Jess Johnson, executive assistant to the vice president for Student Affairs, presided as the masters of ceremonies. Wilensky will crown this year's Homecoming queen at Gator Growl on Oct. 7. Other winners included Miss Photogenic Julia Weiss, and Miss Congeniality Rebecca Gaff. To start the pageant, the contestants danced a choreographed routine in black cocktail dresses to "Simply Irresistible." All contestants entered the stage and stepped up to the microphone receiving applause while introducing themselves and their sponsors to the audience and judges. The audience consisted mostly of female supporters who cheered and held cut-out letters spelling their sororities' Greek letters.

2, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 News Today CAM PUS UF offers Constitution forum Built on its the free-speech cornerstone, civil-rights bricks and the pillars of the three branches of government, the United States relies on the mortar of its Constitution, which will be the centerpiece of a campus forum Wednesday. UF will hold "The U.S. Constitution in the New Century" panel discussion as part of a nationwide observance of the first annual Constitution Day. "I see it as an opportunity," said David Hedge, UP political science professor. "The world has changed. The country has changed." Hedge volunteered to plan the university's Constitution Day event and decided that a round table discussion featuring a panel of government officials and university political science, history and law professors would offer interesting debate on constitutional issues. "I can't think of anything that affects people more," said Hedge, picking up a pocket-sized copy of the approximately 4,440-word Constitution. "It's just barely a Gordon Rule course." This will be the first year schools around the country observe the occasion after Congress passed legislation mandating that all schools receiving federal funding should host events focusing on the Constitution on Sept. 17, the day the document was signed in 1787. Since the date fell on a weekend this year, schools had the option of observing Constitution Day a week earlier or later. Hedge said that while most people need a better understanding of the Constitution, the nation is engaged in constitutional debates all the time on issues from corporate crime to the powers of the presidency. As moderator Hedge will lead the panel in discussions on issues including euthanasia, gay rights, women's rights and the changing Supreme Court: Elizabeth Dale, UF legal history professor and a former civil rights attorney will be a panelist. "One thing we can say is the Supreme Court in the next couple of years is going to be one of the great detective stories of all time," Dale said. "We don't know what justices will do until they do it." She said many of the issues the M KIM This coupon good for an extra $5 on your 2nd and 4th I I donation.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 3 Gator Growl talent show tonight at new location By ZACH WEISSMUELLER Alligator Contributing Writer Gator Growl Talent Night will proceed as planned tonight despite a change in venue. The event, originally scheduled at The Venue, will now take place across the street at Abbey Road, 238 W University Ave. The show will feature singers and dance groups from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. follofved by a battle of the bands competition until 2 a.m., said Ashley Metzel, director of Gator Growl Talent Night. She said she expects the battle of the bands competition to draw a large crowd, and the singers and dancers will draw their own fans. "We're going to have a real diverse group coming out," Metzel said. All of the show's participants will have the opportunity to be selected to perform at Gator Growl 2005. A panel of judges will choose winners in each talent category and award prizes. Metzel said The Venue recently underwent management changes, and Talent Night had been double-booked. Peter Gonzalez, an associate producer for Gator Growl, said both clubs were cooperative in the effort, but Abbey Road offered the ideal date of today made in the original announcement of the event. "It's kind of hard to go do On tIs thing on a Monday or someCampuS thing when everybody is at The Swamp," he said. Gonzalez also works in promotions for Abbey Road, but he said he will make no money from the change in venue. Neither club was planning to charge Student Govermnent for space. There is no cover charge for the event. "Either way there's no money being spent," Gonzalez said. The owner of Abbey Road, Randy Grinter, said he is not paying Gonzalez for bringing the event to his club, and the only money his business will make will be from beverage sales. He said he thinks of it as a public service. "There's no downside," Grinter said. Metzel said stage presence was a strong consideration in selecting participants for Talent Night. "So many people can just sing, but not everybody can sing in front of a crowd," she said. 4D NAE WAREUOU. 5+ TV %555-7 F Jeans 16.99 Tanks $5.99 Tops $7.99 Shorts $7.99 Pants .$12.99 Sweaters $12.99 Outerwear $24.99 Accessories $0.99 September 18 September 23 Sun: 5pm-9pm -""UrnverstvAve UF Coursesaum ol Bit Paramotut Plaz Hotal SW 2900 13th St.) 13o ass OLOTInII SLE Bus Route 13, stop C.

Holding back tears, Alexis held a poem entitled "I ain't no refugee," which she read in front of approximately 250 people during the University Gospel Choir Charity Concert in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom on Sunday. The concert was organized to collect canned goods and supplies to send to the American Red Cross for survivors of Hurricane Katrina. The poem described perceptions of those living in Louisiana and the issues surrounding the disaster. Alexis brought up issues of delayed supplies, disorganized aid, and lost family and friends. "Too little, too late," she recited. "Why is security the question when we are just hungry to survive? Are we refugees because of the food and water we looted?" Attendees were asked to bring canned goods or other supplies as an admission charge. "We collected over 250 cans "I need you to survive." The crowd was encouraged to stand up and participate throughout the show, clapping and dancing. "Gospel music requires some hand clapping and some foot stomping," said David Richardson I, the conductor of the choir. "We want you to stand up with us and groove with us." Swaying, the choir sang out, "You are important to me. I need you to survive. I need you. You need me. Stand with me. Agree with me." Two Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority members contributed a dance and song in the middle of the show. The perfon-nances expressed the need to find a spiritual sanctu_T ary in the midst of disaster. The choir ended with a song that inspired audience participation. Afterward, information about helping the survivors who were unable to escape the hurricane was 1 -posted. Unlike many, the Hunters said they were able to leave the city with their health.

FORTUNE' 100 BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR Quality In Everything We Do @2005 ERNST & YOUNG LLP give more than cash for relief M STUDENTS CAN DONATE BACKPACKS AT TIGERT HALL By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Contributing Writer From backpacks to blood, UF students are getting creative in their efforts to help Hurricane Katrina victims. Instead of having students dig through their pockets for loose change, campus political organizations have found more innovative alternatives for students who want to help in Katrina relief efforts. A backpack drive sponsored by the UF College Democrats was kicked off Monday night to benefit the victims. The organization is collecting backpacks and small bags in Hurrip'ne which victims can KUtrmna store the items they are receiving through other donations. Victims are getting money and other items from different places, but what "they don't have is something to hold their belongings," said Andrea Garces, vice president of philanthropy for the UF College Democrats. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is paying for the UPS shipment, she said. The collection will continue for a week or two, Garces said. Students can donate backpacks at 140 Tigert Hall. UF College Republicans just finished a.weeklong blood drivein remembrance of Sept. 11, 2001, which is also helping victims of Hurricane Katrina. As far as efforts dedicated solely to Hurricane Katrina victims, the organization is still in the planning process. "We haven't done any monetary donations yet," said College Republicans' Chairman Ashlee Black. Black said she expects they will collect money or hold a fundraiser soon to donate money to the survivors. The Red Cross indicated that the number one thing it needs is money, Black said. "Right now the only idea that we've had is to pass a hat at the meetings or a silent auction, off campus, of course," she said. Black said she is encouraging all active College Republicans to donate as much as possible to the cause.

6, ALLIGATOR N TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 Editorial Crazy leader New Orleans mayor needs to be locked up N ew Orleans is screwed. There is a crazy man at its helm. Mayor Ray Nagin recently announced plans to allow 180,000 residents back into sections of the city by Sept. 26. Fortunately, he suspended his plans Monday, citing the chance that Tropical Storm Rita may hit Louisiana. Even he can be convinced that some duct-taped levees aren't going to survive God's tiniest sneeze. But his complete incompetence wasn't completely halted. Thousands of residents, mostly business owners, already returned to the Algiers neighborhood when Nagin flipped his outlook. Although Algiers received a minimal hit by Hurricane Katrina and is reported to have safe drinking water, Nagin should be fired immediately for displaying such incompetence and insanity. Then we should put a sock in his mouth and tie his hands behind his back to prevent any further tragedies. This same kind of political maneuvering led to the deaths of so many New Orleans residents in the first place. Nagin refused to organize an effective mandatory evacuation before Katrina because he apparently couldn't grasp, or didn't want to face, the catastrophe on his hands. Now he is hoping to repopulate the city to show the world that everything is OK. Is he willing to sacrifice his constituency for a public relations campaign? We're afraid to hear the answer to that one. His own words reflect his disconnect from reality. "We're bringing New Orleans back," he said. "I'm tired of hearing these helicopters. I want to hear some jazz." Apparently, Nagin has tuned out the nation's discussions on how difficult reconstruction will be. It's preposterous for Nagin to endanger residents simply because he doesn't want to see any more death and destruction. It's even more nuts to think tourists will return to the city any time soon. The only tourists Nagin will be seeing are those hoping to help Katrina victims, since he seems bent on creating more chaos. Most of the city has no water or electricity, no 911 service and no working hospitals. That's no place for people to live, and it's the government's job to keep them out. Displaced residents always want to go back home. That doesn't mean the mayor should let them. After making this mistake and letting some people in Algiers on Monday, Nagin almost immediately told them to evacuate. So he created another mini-evacuation. We all know how good he is at those. And what would he have done if more of the city were repopulated when Rita threatened? The levees are useless. Buildings are unsafe. Shelters are nonexistent, and roads are less than perfect. Nagin could have created a repeat of his past mistakes. He should be relieved of his position, and the federal government should take over. At least the latter is beginning to show signs of intelligence. Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen made his disdain of the move public. To this valid criticism, Nagin brilliantly retorted that Allen had made himself "the new-crowned federal mayor of New Orleans." These are obviously the well-thought-out words of a born leader. Following this name calling, however, Nagin reversed his position on the repopulation after a serious talk with Allen. This mayor is like a 5-year-old playing dress-up. He needs to go to the naughty corner before he causes any more damage. l the independent florida Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Andrew Meyer, Tom Durrenberger EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comets from readers.

Opion ions ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions Column Media should hold off praising coach an we put the ball washing on hold for a couple of weeks? With the win over Tennessee, Urban Meyer is already being heralded as the second coming of Steve Spurrier. This is ridiculous. The man has coached the Gators for all of three games this season, not nearly enough time to make any definitive judgment. As coach of the Gators, Meyer has now won exactly one more big game than I have. You know who else won a big game against Tennessee early in his first season as Gator coach? Ron Zook. I'm not saying Urban Meyer isn't a great coach. My point here is that we just don't know yet. The Gators won on Saturday because their defense was incredible. Who can say if that was due to outstanding coaching or simply a highly talented group of players?' Who can say they'll be this good on the road against LSU? No one can. That's why I want everyone to slow down a bit before deciding Urban Meyer is the best thing since sliced bread (or Fun N' Gun, for that matter). The sports journalism establishment has a horrible tendency to give coaches too much credit after wins and too much blame after losses. For instance, in the euphoria after Saturday's win, a columnist from this very paper called Meyer names lik& "The Urbinator" and. "Mr. Destiny." Why? I wouldn't call him those names even if everything that happened in the game were directly due to his influence. The Gator offense, for the most part, looked terrible. I credit the Tennessee defenders for that, but Meyer was the man calling the shots, and his play-calling was so conservative, I could have sworn the Gators hired Dave Wannstedt. Except for the misdirection play that netted the Gators their only touchdown, the offense could not have been more basic. Every run was straight up the middle, every pass attempt was to the same tired Andrew Meyer hook routes. I was screaming durEditorial Notebook ing an entire quarter for the Gators ameyer@amllgator.org to try a slant (which they eventually did, for a 20-yard gain), or a play-action pass (they didn't even attempt one.) They managed only a pair of field goals the two times they were given outstanding field position. But just as I don't give Meyer all the credit for the defense, I don't give him all the blame for the offense either. I think the defense was incredible mostly because they have incredible players. Similarly, I think the offense was poor because it's run by a poor quarterback. That's right, I think Chris Leak is a bad player. I'm not questioning his arm strength or his tools. Instead, I think he makes terrible decisions. He doesn't know when to throw the ball away. That, coupled with a weak offensive line, means he is always getting sacked. He focuses on one receiver, which makes his passes infinitely easier to defend. He can run, but he rarely does, and even then he never goes for the extra yard. He can throw on the run, but the Gators never roll him out. Honestly, I wish Josh Portis was starting. Again, if we give the coach all the credit or blame, then Leak's shortcomings are Meyer's fault. And I don't think that's fair either. I think Urban Meyer, and his spread offense, will ultimately succeed. But to deify him after three games? Please. Andrew Meyer is a journalism sophomore.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Kanye West was hasty in his comment I did not see the original cartoon printed by the Alligator on Sept. 13. However, after being told of its contents, I laughed. Yes, I -an African American female and a double minority -laughed. It's preposterous that Condoleezza Rice would ever stoop so low and use such a tern. And it's preposterous that everyone expects the Alligator to apologize. We didn't protest the cartoons about (former Student Body President) Jamal Sowell or Joe Goldberg, both prominent campus politicians who were ridiculed for their views. We didn't ridicule the Alligator when it printed a cartoon depicting sorority girls with wonrms on their heads being hazed by fraternity Rice's status is not a leap for blacks boys. Yet we want to march across campus With regard to his depiction of Condoleezza when it uses the "n-word." Rice with Kanye West, Alligator cartoonist It has to be all or nothing. You can't conAndy Marlette stated, "I can picture a black demn a paper -an independent paper at woman saying that to a black man." that -some of the time, whenever you feel If it was realism Marlette was aimmg for, like it. Frankly, the whole point of the political can he really see that particular black woman, cartke i.Fnky the wioneon i to otica Condoleezza Rice, using that terminology? cartoons in the Opiions section is to voice His further willingness to defend his use of the paradigms of an individual or group. the word "nigga" on the basis of its frequent I think Kanye West, although a great peruse in pop culture indicates that the full extent former, was hasty in his comment. of his knowledge of how black people commuWhether or not the comment he made nicate with each other is derived from movies, about Bush was true, his stating the fact did TV and rap music. Reliance on portrayals in nothing to ameliorate the matter and instead pop. culture leads to complete ignorance of created a tension among Americans. the ongoing, emotional debate among black Edwine Cherubin people about the use of the word "nigger" and 4jM the nuances s surrounding use of the word. Amore significant issue here is the meaning of the cartoon. Condoleezza Rice's status as Secretary of State doesn't represent any great leap forward for black people, nor is it any indication of Bush's interest m setting an agenda addressing racial inequality Willingness to embrace individual blacks is not equivalent to addressing systemic inequities. Anyone who thinks so is woefully underinformed. Given that Rice was playing tennis and shopping on Madison Avenue during the week of the Gulf Coast debacle, it's apparent that setting such an agenda is of little concern to her. In fact Marlette might have more aptly and realistically depicted Rice saying, "Forget them! I'm doing all right myself!"

8, ALLIGATOR N TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 SG used more than $14K of student money on self-promoting swag SPENDING, from page 1 be wiser expenditures of student money. Impact has also questioned the $3,338.72 lobbying trip to Washington, D.C., that five top SG officials took during Summer B. But SG Lobby Coordinator Thomas Philpot said it was "absolutely imperative" that the Florida congressmen who legislate financial aid meet the representatives of UF's student body. "I think that made [the congressmen] pay a lot more attention to the real issue and the real face of federal financial aid," Philpot said. "I didn't take it as a personal trip." Earlier last summer, the offices of Goldberg, Student Body Vice President Joyce Medina and Student Senate Pro Tempore John Boyles were refurnished for a total of $4,466.66. "The desks were falling apart," Goldberg said. "I tried to pull out the keyboard tray to type, and it fell in my lap." He said new chairs were purchased because the old couch was not appropriate Student for his work Government space. "I needed to have a more professional atmosphere in my office," he said. SG -executives and bureau chairs also receive monthly cell phone stipends. Goldberg's is highest at $50. Goldberg, Accent Chairman Evan Tyroler and SGP Chairman. Joey Van de Bogart have studentfunded Blackberry devices with unlimited data plans. Goldberg's service costs $107.94 monthly, plus a $99 startup fee. Van de Bogart said he gets about 100 e-mails per day on his BlackBerry. He said it increases his productivity, noting that he has planned twice as many Fall concerts as his predecessor, Jeff Yeatman, did. "The student body, by providing me with a phone, made me work harder for them because I am constantly working for them," he said. Impact spokeswoman Allison Cullin denounced SG's use of student money for self-promotion. "Go up to the SG offices," she urged students. "Ask for your water bottle. Ask for your little alligator -you paid for it." Queen will be chosen at Gator Growl PAGEANTfrompagel The five judges who critiqued the ladies were Shelley Meyer, Michael Blachly, Darius Dunn, Roslyn P. Levy and Cynthia Thibault "The judging for the pageant is not just based on beauty but rather 65 percent goes to the contestant's GPA, formal interview and resume of campus and community involvement," Garrison said. "The remainder of the judging is based on formal and casual wear and, of course, the final question." Before going on stage, Randi Lieberman of Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority said, "Win or lose, after the pageant I am going out to eat a cheeseburger and fries, something very unpageant-like." Entertainment was provided by the UF Danza team, which performed two dances between the casual and formal wear segments. The final question of the night asked what contestants saw themselves contributing to the Gator Nation after graduation. Finalists all had similar responses, stating they would want to become mentors to students of the university. Scarborough Insurance, Gainesville Floral Exchange and the Village Jeweler were sponsors of the Homecoming Pageant. Student undid years of murals, art GRAFFITI, from page 1 Though some students shared the painter's dismay over the graffiti, others preferred a colorful wall to a white one. "I prefer it being decorated," painting major Matt Hill said. "I don't think any art should be covered up unless it is derogatory." Ed Poppell, vice president for finance and administration at UF, said the university treats the underpass as part of its property, maintaining the lights and the pipes that run through it. He said the university has taken steps to prevent graffiti on the underpass, such as allowing sanctioned artwork from local schools and clubs on the walls. He would prefer students work with UF in efforts to fight graffiti, he said. The student wrote in an e-mail that he prefers to remain anonymous because his effort is still "kind of a personal thing" and "it is too soon to be taking credit." He only painted the south wall of the underpass because the other wall is covered with chill water and steam pipes that would make the job too timeconsuming. The student said he lived next to the 34th Street Wall for a few years. He respected the artistry of the murals and was dismayed to see them ruined by graffiti. "[The art] used to be tasteful, but now they just do not care. They will spray paint over anything," he said. What will YOU do after graduation?

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,2005 ALLIGATOR www.aIigatorSports.org Mc anald UP m ss"4 to le w ks EARILEST POSSIBLE RETURN FOR DEFENSIVE END COULD COME AGAINST LSU. By ANDREW ABRAMSON and ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Staff Writers The No. 5 Gators received somewhat relieving news on Monday when the team learned star defensive end Ray McDonald would miss just four to six weeks with a partially torn ACL in his right knee, suffered in UF's 16-7 victory against Tennessee. While McDonald's absence will certainly hurt a defense currently ranked No. 2 in the nation, it was initially feared that McDonald would miss the entire season. After leading the team with 10 tackles for losses a year ago, the new UF coaching staff shifted McDonald from defensive tackle to end, the postion he played in high school. The move allowed McDonald to play more freely and utilize his speed. Now the Gators must regroup. Joe Cohen will return to the starting role he held a year ago, while redshirt freshman Derrick Harvey -who could be one of the more talented players on the team -will also see time at defensive end. "I feel good about Derrick Harvey and Joe Cohen. I trust them," said senior Jeremy Mincey UF's other starting defensive end. "Harvey's young, but the more he plays, the more snaps he gets, the better he can get. "That's a big plus that Joe Cohen is already experienced." The news came one day after receiver Andre Caldwell underwent surgery to repair a broken leg, also suffered in the Tennessee victory. "We're talking about two great young men," UP coach Urban Meyer said. "tlay McDonald is a different man [this year] as is Andre Caldwell. They were making such a good push up to right now." NOT ON THE OFFENSIVE: While UF's defense is suddenly overshadowing an offense expected to be among the best in the nation, Meyer -a coach often Andy Apicella / Aiiig critical of his offense -said he's satisfied where the Defensive end Ray McDonald limps off the field after partially teari SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 18 the ACL in his right knee. He will miss 4 to 6 weeks of action. UF VOLLiEYBALLe Gia t ors d Is Man t kve o vIE rmlma&, a;,herd FU afE1 By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer It was clearly a mismatch on paper, but you can't spell rivalry in Gainesville without F-S-U. Unfortunately for Florida State, the match looked more even on paper than on the court. The No. 6 UF volleyball team crushed in-state rival Florida State Monday night (30-20, 30-23, 30-16)in the Gators' final match before heading into Southeastern Conference play against Mississippi-State on Friday NFL Giants 27 Saints 10 Redskins 14 Cowboys 13 "Anytime Florida State and UF suit up, it is going to be a rivalry, a nd we're th in king a bout that" Amber McCray UF volleyball sophomore The Gators have now won 14 straight matches against Florida State. Despite recent domination of the Seminoles, opposite hitter Amber McCray admitted the match means a little something extra to the Gators. But she said the team does not let Ranked by average yards allowed 1. Connecticut 197.7 2. UF 199.0 3. West Virginia 199.3 4. Alabama 204.0 5. Virginia Tech 220.7 ator ng the rivalry become a distraction. "Anytime Florida State and UF suit up, it is going to be a rivalry, and we're thinking about that," she said. "But it is not as big as football, so we were just basically working on coming out and taking this game as a game we can use to get better and work on ourselves." The Gators did not forget about last season, when FSU launched into raucous celebration after winning a game against UP. Although the Gators eventually won that match, sophomore Marcie Hampton SEE VOLLEY, PAGE 18 i 1997: Peyton Manning has one final chance to defeat the Gators, but No. 3 UF keeps Manning winless against his biggest rival, defeating No. 4 Tennessee at the Swamp, 33-20. Impact of injury unclear ndre Caldwell honed in on the end zone. Ten wayward Tennessee defenders could only glance back in disbelief. Tens of thousands of Gators fans could only gaze into the future. For Caldwell, this is how it was supposed to be. Urban Meyer's spread option was to catapult the junior to the upper echelon of collegiate football Bryan App, App-etite stardom. -The Gators' sole touchdown against the Vols on Saturday seemed to provide a glimpse of that. As Chris Leak ran for Receptions an option play to the bapp@alligator.org left, Caldwell sprung back behind the quarterback to the right. As the Tennessee defense collapsed on Leak, Caldwell took a reverse pitch. With wheels like Caldwell's, it should've been illegal. Eighteen yards and one block later and Caldwell began to realize his destiny. This was why he came to UP. This was to be the season. Little more than one quarter later, it was finished. Running back the opening kick of the second half, a helmet to the right thigh ended his season. But as Caldwell was carted off the field wincing in pain from a broken leg, it was harder to tell who hurt more -him or his fellow receivers. "I didn't think it was that bad of a hit, but the more I saw, my stomach dropped a little bit," junior Jemalle Cornelius said. "We were just in a bit of a daze because everybody expected him to just pop back up. We saw he was down for a pretty long time, and it just took the wind out of you for a little bit." When a guy like Caldwell goes down, responsibility tends to set in as subtly as a freight train to the solar plexus. But it's OK. Breathe, Jemalle, breathe. Without question, the Gators will feel the strain of Caldwell's departure. With his kind of speed, it seems Caldwell was born for Meyer's system. And the coach kept no secrets abdut whom he considered his top playmaker during spring and sumer workouts.

18, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 Meyer rewards defensive stars FOOTBALL, from page 16 group currently stands d He even singled out wide receiver Jemalle Cornelius, whose role suddenly triples now that Caldwell is out for the year. "We had no turnovers [against Tennessee] and we had the ball for a long time," Meyer said. "Jemalle Cornelius came out a winner, and Chris Leak played extremely hard." CHAMPION DEFENSE: In past weeks, making Meyer's postgame Champions Club hasn't been an easy feat, even though the Gators have won all three of their games. On Monday, Meyer rewarded the Gators' defensive performance against Tennessee. Steven Harris, Marcus Thomas, Jeremy Mincey, Brandon Siler, Earl Everett, Todd McCullough, Vernell Brown, Kyle Jackson, Reggie Nelson, Dee Webb and Jarvis Herring all made the club, but it was the members of the secondary that graded out as the biggest difference-makers. "Jarvis Herring had 11 opportunites to make a play and he made all 11 ," Meyer said. "If you are wondering how we won that game, it's those two stats right there." After holding the Volunteers to just 7 points, UF's defense is ranked second in the nation behind Connecticut. The Gators are giving up an average of 8 points a game and 199 yards to opposing teams in the Swamp. "I don't think I've been around a team that's played better defense," Meyer said. "They played an excellent football team who has a great tradition of running the ball, and they shut -them down." from page 16 three unproven jtnnors and a former quarterback must fill the void. Even as Caldwell writhed in a hospital bed Saturday night, Meyer already was busy challenging Cornelius and other receivers to dive into Caldwell's Nikes. Only, nobody is quite sure play. how big they are. Coming to UF rated as a No. 1 receiving prospect in the courfry, Caldwell never fully lived up to the hype, -scoring just three touchdowns before that nifty reverse. Even in all its beauty, the play callers, not the playmakers, made Saturday's reverse With 10 of Tennessee's 11 defenders halfway to Newberry, 320-pound offensive guard Tavares Washington could've stuck that one in. So while Caldwell's immediate future appears murky, the Gators' is simply unclear. Killings worth stands out as inside presence VOLLE from page 16 said head coach Mary Wise had the team prepared for FSU's emotional outbursts. "[Wise] knew they were going to be an emotional team coming in here, so she made sure we were focused on what we were doing and not worried about what is going on over on their side of the net," Hampton said. The Gators took game one 30-20, clinching the game on an attack error by FSU's Lauren Scott. McCray led the Gators with five kills on six attempts in the opening game, while FSU hit for an anemic -.049 percentage in the game. UF scored 6 of the last 7 points to claim game two 30-23. Angie McGinnis led the Gators with four kills out of the setter position while tallying 12 assists in the process. McGinnis has been working on her offensive game, employing a sort of hook shot with her offhand to try to catch defenses napping. "I think you have to try to catch them offguard, you have to be tricky with it and know when to do it," McGinnis said. "Hopefully by the end of the season I'll get at least five kills a night -that's my goal." UF cruised to a 7-0 lead in the third and deciding game before the Gators ended the game and the match with a 30-16 score. Sophomore Kisya Killingsworth had a careerhigh nine blocks in the match, and finally began to look like the strong inside presence the Gators have lacked all season. "Wouldn't you like to play defense around Kisya Killingsworth?" Wise asked. "You don't get many opportunities, certainly today, because of the way she blocked."

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 11 ALLIGATOR, 19 0 ROLE PLAYERS TAKING LARGER ROLE IN OFFENSE By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer Prior to this season, UF coach Mary Wise was asked whether Jane Collymore could be counted on to be a dominant star -a player who would have the ability to take over a match the way Aury Cruz did during UF's run to the NCAA Championship match in 2003. It's a tough comparison to make. Cruz was a three-time first-team All-American, while Collymore enters her second season as the Gators featured player. Collymore has shown that ability to take over a match. In UF's Sept. 10 win against Southern California, she racked up 30 kills, including 11 of the Gators' 15 kills in the second game. While Collymore continues to get the most swings on the team, UF has been spreading the love around all season. Monday night was no different, as eight different players recorded kills for the Gators in their 3-0 sweep of Florida State. "Bottom line, when in a threegame match when four players are in double-digit points, that's great point production," Wise said. "That means that we're getting kills, blocks and ace serves. We're getting contribution in lots of ways." Luanne Dietz/ Alligator While UF volleyball star Jane Collymore is counted on to lead a young UF team, her teammates are pitching in as well. Those double-doubles came from Marcie Hampton, Amber McCray, Kisya Killingsworth and Collymore. Combine the statistics of Angie McGinnis and Kari Klinkenborg and UF recorded five double-doubles. Wise has emphasized to her team that getting scoring out of all six spots on the floor is the best way for her team to be successful, and a lot of that distribution comes from pre-game scouting. "A lot of it is game-plan specific and based on where we think we can get points," Wise said. "There are times when it may look like [McGinnis] is favoring one hitter over another, but that is by design." Wise has preached patience with outside hitters Collymore and Hampton, who see the bulk of the sets. While the two took 31 and 24 swings respectively against the Seminoles, they also opened the This section for display ads only.

Killingsworth had nine kill, and a career-high nine blocks out of the middle, and McCray recorded eight kills and two blocks. "We have so many players averaging over two kills a game, McCray said. "Teams have to worry about defending all different spots on the floor, so it's really going to help us." As last year's Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year, McGinnis has the task of getting the ball to where all of her various weapons can hit it. She doesn't, however, take into account how many sets are going to each player. "As a setter you really don't think about it that way," she said. "It depends on what they're doing. If they're going to block our outside bitters then I'm going to try to give most of the balls to our middles." For her part, Collymore believes that distributing the ball among all the team's scorers can only help the Gators. "We're a much more effective team if the ball can go to five or six really strong players rather than one person," she said. "Because if you think about it from a blocking standpoint, if the defense knows the ball is going to one person over and over again, they'll kind of stand there."

20, ALLIGATOR N TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 UF FOOTBALL 7e d7,sv c e e h w n e ut By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabranson@alligator.org No offense Urban Meyer, but Chris Leak and Co. are getting overshadowed by an unlikely bunch of headliners. After shutting down Tennessee's offense in Saturday's 16-7 victory against the Volunteers, UF's defense is second to just Ane. Not only are the Gators giving up the least yards in the Southeastern Conference, but also the 199 yards allowed per game is second best in the entire NCAA, trailing only Connecticut. Meyer's spread offense and UF's array of talented receivers received all the preseason buzz, but the Gators scoring offense currently ranks just sixth in the SEC and 45th in the nation. And it was UF's defense that spent much of the summer trying to shed the label of late game choke-artists. "If you watch fihn on us, you can see we're chasing the ball better than last year," linebacker Earl Everett said. "The d-line is playing better, the linebackers are holding it down more. I think we're more aggressive than last year." Last year's defense ranked just sixth in the SEC, and virtually the same unit returned minus star linebacker Channing Crowder. But the defensive players credit much of the turnaround to new defensive coordinator Greg Mattison, who splits duties Andy Apicella / Alligator After linebacker Earl Everett and the Gators held Tennessee to -4 rushing yards in the second half, UF's scoring defense ranks No. 2 in the nation. with Charlie Strong, the only holdover from the previous coaching regime. While the defense was put through the same grueling off-season workouts as the rest of the team, Mattison brought a new aggressive, blitz-heavy philosophy to the defense. Suddenly players that were mediocre at best last season rank among the SEC leaders in various statistical categories. Although the defense may experience a slight drop-off now that starting defensive end Ray McDonald is expected to miss four to six weeks with an ACL injury in his right knee, even career backups have been starring for UF this season. At 5-foot-8, Vernell Brown spent much of his career floating from position to position while seeing little action. This year, the senior nabbed a starting cornerback job and currently leads the Gators with 18 tackles. "After seeing these kids work all winter, I knew they had a chance to be pretty darn good because they showed pride and they showed work ethic," Mattison said. "They're a year older. I really think they believe in what we're doing and I think they want to leave here knowing that they've had a chance to do something special." Mattison said head coach Urban Meyer knew exactly what he was doing when he assembled a staff that included Mattison, Strong and other respected defensive minds like cornerbacks coach Chuck Heater and safeties coach Doc Holliday. "There's no egos," Mattison said. "That to me is special. We all have the same goals." Mattison realizes it takes more than motivational speeches for his defense to realize what its capable of achieving. So he spends hours showing game film from the NFL and highlights of some of Mattison's previous stars at Notre Dame, including current Baltimore Ravens star defensive end Anthony Weaver. "If they know the way you coached that guy on film is the same way you're coaching them, I think they listen better," Mattison said. "They say OK, it must work." ators Top Week 2 performances: DARRELL JACKSON Seattle WR (Classof'00) 8 rec, 13.1 lidS MIKE PETERSON Indianapolis RB (Class of '99) 1-,3 tackles, 1int RAN CARTHON, Indianap s RB (Class of0)6 rushes. 5 yds, I TO FRED TAYLOR J c s RB (ClasS 5), -ss1 yds KEVIN (ARTER,ai E (Class ) G as Is ack TRAVIs TAyLR OR. ast WR ICiass 0) 7t -Thsyds LITO 5HEPPARD, PhO 1dlp5(a CB {class 021 takis, int iAN SCoT, Chicago IT tClas s(f3V, 2tackls, im CHANNING CROWDERMian LB Jennifer LaBrie / Alligator Staff
