STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Parties stand own grounds
Catch a rising star
Staci Good performs at Gator Talent Night at Abbey Road on Tuesday
night. Good will sing the National Anthem at Gator Growl this year.
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer

Student Government parties have long to-
do lists, and UF administrators agree that most
of the plans would benefit students if they
materialize.
The Gator and Impact parties announced
the platforms they plan to implement after the
Fall election next week, which includes 46 open
Student Senate seats.
Gator plans to close portions of University
Avenue during home football games for safety
reasons, renovating the Reitz Union Student
Activities Center and the Rion Ballroom, and
lobbying for wireless Internet coverage in resi-
dence-hall common areas.
Impact intends to bring free printing for stu-
dents in every CIRCA computer lab, increase
wireless Internet throughout campus, employ a
director of Asian American culture and bring an
"end to legacy positions."
Gator Party spokesman Thomas Philpot
said his party's platform is attainable.
"We want to make sure that students under-
stand that we are putting realistic goals on our
platform and that our candidates can actually
accomplish them," he said.
Impact Party spokesman Adam Roberts said
if Impact's platform becomes reality, students
would see results.
"If our platform were to be completely
implemented, I think students would see for
once that a party is willing to act in their best
interest," he said. "Not everything needs to be a
one-half-million-dollar project to be effective."
Student Activities Center receptionist
Karima Douglas said Gator's plan to remodel
the offices is warranted.
"More people want office space, and they
can't get it," she said.
Twenty-two of the 700 organizations on cam-
pus call the center their headquarters, she said.
SG adviser Chris Cupoli said the center has
had the same square footage since the Reitz
Union was erected in May 1967.
"This has been a long-range goal for
student activities for about five years," he
,said. "At this -point, we haven't figured out
if we are adding on- or just redesigning."
However, SG officials and administration are
in control of the recent state-released Capital
Improvement Trust Fund money, which
Cupoli said is needed to improve existing
conditions.
"One of the roles of SG is to advocate" for the
projects officials feel need the funds, he said.
"If our platform were to be com-
pletely implemented, I think stu-
dents would see for once that a
party is willing to act in their best
interest. Not everything needs to be
a one-half-million-dollar project to
be effective."
Adam Roberts
Impact Party spokesman
Impact's idea of bringing free printing to
students at CIRCA labs is being embraced with
welcome, ink-stained arms.
Computer Operations Manager for CIRCA
Daniel Delgado said the labs have never been
able to displace costs associated with printing
students' work.
"I think we'd be thrilled about it," he said. "I
think everyone kind of grumbles generally about
the price. I always hear some stuff about it."
CIRCA charges 10 cents for each black-and-
white page printed. Delgado said the printers
are strained on a daily basis.
"We really push the printers hard in the
labs," he said. "There's a lot of maintenance.
There's a lot more cost than just paper."
Interim Vice Provost for Information
Technology Marc Hoit said UF students were
billed $300,000 for 2 million printed pages in
2003-04.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Senate debates Alligator cartoon
By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org
Sparked by controversy result-
ing from a recent Alligator editorial
cartoon, Student Body President Joe
Goldberg issued an executive order
at Tuesday's Student Senate meet-
ing halting all Student Government-
funded advertising in the Alligator.
Student Body statutes require
certain notices to be advertised in
"the newspaper with the greatest
circulation among University of
Florida students."
The Alligator has the highest
student circulation of any print
newspaper, but Goldberg said UF's
Wednesday Update and the SG
Web site "have more hits" than the
Alligator.
Whether these two systems can
be considered higher-circulating
newspapers is at the discretion of
the SG Supreme Court.
When a senator asked how much
money the Alligator could lose as a
result of his order, Goldberg said, "I
have no idea. Hopefully, it's as much
money as possible."
Sen. Christopher Eklund ex-
pressed concern that a separate
Senate resolution condemning the
Alligator would be seen as an attack
on the newspaper by SG.
"We all know that there has been
a lot of tension between Student
Government and
the Alligator on
issues completely
unrelated to prej-
udice," he said. -
Assistant
Black Student
Union Treasurer
Goldberg Tyler Redden
spoke in favor
of a resolution to condemn the
Alligator and urge local businesses
to withdraw advertising.
"This is for every single com-
munity that has been exploited and
,hurtby Alligator cartoons and Andy
Marlette's attempt to spark contro-
versy, and I'm pissed," he said.
Expressing frustration that
"every organization [he's] been in
has been criticized," Sen. Michael
Patrone suggested a new newspa-
per controlled by the university be
established on campus.
But "for now," he said, "let's
focus on the wound that's gushing
blood. Let's stop the damage."
Sen. Gordon Owen said he dis-
agrees with the cartoon but thinks
that Marlette did his job.
"The point of an editorial cartoon
... is to provide social commentary,"
he said. "Marlette does a pretty
good job at getting a good response
out of students."
The Senate also voted to remove
the Caribbean Student Association
from the SG budget, citing an inci-
dent last Spring when the organiza-
tion spent about $6,000 more than it
.had been allotted.
In other Senate news, the seat
representing both Keys and Springs
residential complexes was split into
two separate positions. The seat
representing off-campus ZIP codes
not listed in SG statutes was incor-
porated into what was District F and
will now be known as District E.

New condom hits market
By MORGAN GELLER
Alligator Contributing Writer
Condom use may be more
exciting thanks to a new tech-
nological form of contraception:
the vibrating condom.
TouchMe USA hopes to kick
off its Safe Sex is Fun campaign
to promote sexual health while
promoting the new product at
UF.
The product runs on a mi-
cro-battery, which is inside the
product's vibrating ring and
lasts for 20 minutes, Davis said.
"It's great for women be-
cause sex would be more. ef-
fective for young women who
wouldn't be so experienced,"
Davis said. "It's also a great
backup if the guy can't per-
.form."
"It's a win-win situation,"
said Rachel Davis, TouchMe
USA's marketing director. "Safe
sex is promoted on campus, the
students promoting the product
'make their own hours and get
marketing experience, and the
company has a chance to sell
and promote the product."
Davis is hoping to contact
organizations such as fraterni-
ties and sororities to have them
sell the vibrating
Student condoms at events
Life to make students
more aware of the
consequences of unprotected
sex.
In addition, TouchMe USA is
planning to promote its product
at local bars and nightclubs in
the Gainesville area as well as
tabling on campus, she said.
The condom, which won the
Invention of the Year Award in
2003, is intended to stimulate
both partners, she said.'
It can be used without a
partner, and the ring is vacuum
sealed to ensure cleanliness.
Other businesses in
Gainesville are following in sell-
ing this new product.
"I'm glad it's out in the
store," said James Rountrye,
sales supervisor of Spencer
Gifts in the Oaks Mall. "It's kind
of unique, kind of new, and safe
sex is always a plus."
The vibrating condom
should interest people because
it's something innovative and
interesting, Rountrye said.
"We're the only store in the
mall that sells condoms, and it's
great that it's out on the floor
as opposed to being behind a
counter, and that way everyone
can see it," he said.
TouchMe USA expects the vi-
brating condom will have a posi-
tive market at UF, Davis said.

Editorial
Trinkets galore
SG spends student
money on self-promotion
We know you're a little sick of editorials on how Student
Government spends your money.
We understand. We hate to talk about money too.
But the election is coming up next week, so we're going to
beat it into the ground. Maybe someone will care.
The issue we want to address today is all the money SG has
spent on trinkets and trips.
We're getting really worried about whether there's anything
left in the SG vault. The next time Student Body President Joe
Goldberg creeps in to take more funds for SG interests, only a
few neglected foam alligators will be left.
Last fiscal year, SG spent more than $14,000 on memorabilia
that supposedly advertises that they exist.
We're all for more access to SG, but those commercials and
cutesy toys actually scare us away.
We want to know how much money SG gives student
groups for self-promotion like that. Sure, some of them spend a
little on the fun stuff, but nowhere near that chunk.
This is really just more of a central, recurring problem.
SG looks at itself as an organization that is more important
than the student groups they fund, and officials see students'
money as their personal coffer.
SG exists to responsibly distribute student fees and represent
the student body.
It does not need funding beyond what's needed to properly
represent the students.
This advertising only helps spread the smiling faces of SG
executives; it does not help the student body in any way.
We remember when Student Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi
wrote on these very pages that, if elected, she would make sure
that "Student Government funds are spent... in the best inter-
ests of the entire student body."
So much for that.
But what really gets us going is her spiel in the'same column
about how SG reserves are swelling with money and need to be
spent instead of "collecting dust."
Sigh. Lindsay, if SG reserves were so huge, then it was a sign
the Activity & Service Fee should be lowered or at least kept
constant for a year. As it stands, SG raises the tuition-funded fee
every single year without fail.
It's too late for all that, though.. We're pretty sure Cosimi
stuck to her guns on that promise and helped throw all the
reserves away.
We hope there isn't a key chain or fluffy toy crisis soon.
Where would we get the money?
Our all-time favorite classic SG fumble is fiscal redundancy.
More than $3,000 was spent to send a few SG officials to
Washington.
We definitely understand the need for our student represen-
tatives to go lobby the government for our interests. And we
know SG provides a few student organizations with funds for
the same type of trips.
We'll even agree with SG Lobby Coordinator Thomas
Philpot, who said it was "absolutely imperative" that the
Florida congressmen who legislate financial aid meet with rep-
resentatives of UF's student body.
But Tom, doesn't SG dole out $60,000 to a private lobbying
group? SG is also a member of the Florida Student Association,
which cost us almost $30,000 a year to join. We think we're
pretty covered.
So why do officials need to pay for individual trips to
Washington?
It's because all of the lobbying groups SG funds focus on the
state legislature. If officials think we need a face at the national
level, then maybe we should actually budget for that.
Perhaps SG officials should discuss these issues through the
e-mail features of their student-funded Blackberrys.

Democrats need to vote for Roberts
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have
questioned John Roberts, they've challenged John
Roberts and when their moment of decision arrives
Thursday, they should vote for John Roberts.
And the Democrats in Senate should follow suit when it's
their turn.
There are certainly pragmatic reasons why Democrats
should acquiesce. Not least of these is the simple fact that the
Democrats are rather sizably outnumbered Roberts needs
only a simple majority of votes, and he has that in hand with
55 Republican senators.
With a defeat almost certainly inevitable, Democrats need
to ask themselves if the expenditure of money and resources
such a fight would require would be practical.
A battle over John Roberts would be more palatable if
rank-and-file Democrats had any reason to show confidence
in their party's leadership to fight the battle intelligently. As it
stands, the Democratic Party has shown a rather unfortunate
tendency to come out on the losing end of PR battles.
A humiliating Democratic defeat in this fight could only
embolden the president to try to fill Sandra Day O'Connor's
seat with the, kind of hardcore right-wing ideologue
who would make Roberts look to be the next William 0.
Douglas.
Of course, all of the above would be pointless if the battle
was a just one. From time to time, there will be causes so
noble they require decent men to sacrifice party, politics and
popularity in defense of them.
Shooting down John Roberts is not one of those causes.
For all the reasons why Democrats can't defeat John
Roberts, they're far less important than the fact that they
shouldn't defeat John Roberts.
No, Roberts isn't a conservative acolyte who will set back
jurisprudence 50 years. No, he's not likely to eviscerate lib-
Andrew Bare eral policies or destroy civil rights leg-
The Bare Truth isolation. In fact, the president deserves
abare@alligator.org a lot of credit for nominating someone
who earns skepticism from the right as
well as the left.
Barring something truly extraordinary, Supreme Court
nominees. (or Cabinet nominees or any other presidential
nominees) should not be vetoed on the basis of political
ideology. When Republicans speak of not wanting "activist
judges," they only mean that they want Republicans on the
bench. Democrats should not fall to that level of hypocrisy.
Furthermore, rank-and-file Democrats, and all Americans,
should be satisfied, if not ecstatic, with their representatives'
questioning of President Bush's nominee.
Civil rights, Roe v. Wade, memoranda written by Roberts
while working for the Department of Justice these and
all topics were open for free and vigorous debate in the
committee room, and they will be open to the same in the
Senate chamber. You can't intelligently advise or in good
conscience consent without going through the healthy ele-
ments of discussion and dissent inherent in a democracy.
Roberts' performance, while smooth and impressive, was
hardly transparent. Too .many questions were "answered"
with unclear or evasive responses. In a perfect world, he
would have been completely forthcoming.
But Roberts didn't obfuscate any more than previous
nominees; he merely did a better job of it.
The hard-truth is that George Bush will not nominate
a judge who Democrats like. George Bush is a conserva-
tive Republican, and as such will nominate a conservative
Republican.
That he's nominated someone Democrats can in good
conscience accept is going to have to be enough.

Letters to the Editor
Preparation was Nagin's responsibility
The editorial on New Orleans Mayor Ray
Nagin couldn't have been more brilliantly
written.
Speaking as the child of a county safety
and security coordinator, I can share what my
father has told me over and over again.
The best way to deal with disaster is
through preparation.- of which Nagin did
none.
'I loved that throughout this -entire ordeal
the blame was placed mainly. on the federal
government, while it was forgotten. that New.
Orleans has a government too.
Since when is it the Fed's-job to breistfeed
all 50 'states?
Assistance is their job; preparation was
Nagin's.
I say: don't stop at the sock in his mouth
and binding of his hands. I say we conk him'
on the head with a mallet. Then. when hlie fi-'
nally starts to feel some of the pain he helped
inflict on the people he claims to care about,
he'll have some sense of what the hell is go-
ing on.

Tolerance should reign in race issue
On the subject of Kanye West's recent
controversial statement, there seems to be two
sides: those who firmly agree with the artist
and those who think he is downright wrong
and out of line. Personally, I suspect that many
- but not all in the second category simply
dismiss him as another "angry black man"
who doesn't know how to control his inap-
propriate outbursts.
I like to call these people ignorant or even
racist.
However, I could not presume to general-
ize an entire group of people solely on the
basis that they have all come to the arname con-
clusion. I urge others to do the same.
Why are people so insistent upon taking a
defiant stance on this issue that West brought'
to the forefront? Does President Bush really
not care about all black people? We can have
our opinions just like we have our opinions
on many controversial issues, but it is nim-
porta.nIt to admit that none of us can possibly
know for sure the true answer to this ques-
tion. So why don't we stop pretending like
we all do?
It wouldn't hurt to debate this topic while
promoting tolerance and understanding of the
opposing viewpoint. West brings up a heated
issue for Americans to ponder, one that cannot
be swiftly pushed under the rug by silenc-
ing an open dialogue on the issue of race in
America. Perhaps we could all take a step back
and consider the gray area that lies between
what has become a black and white issue.

Columnist ignorant of Leak's worth
I pity Coach Urban Meyer that he must
share his surname with Andrew Meyer.
After reading Andrew Meyer's column
Tuesday slamming Chris Leak, I'm dis-
gusted.
"That's right, I think Chris Leak is a bad
player he said.
I ,Could like to, get some of what he is
smoking because it must be some great
stuff Ha- he-watched the same quarterback
for the la-t three ea r that I have?
For a quar terbac k ho has gone through
the offensive philosophy changes that he
has and has produced like he does, Chris
LeMl is an elite one.
For someone learning a complex system,
a system that took Heisman candidate and
first pick in the NFL draft Alex Smith al-
most a full year to grasp, I think he is doing
an excellent job.
He hasn't thrown a pick yet, has five
touchdown passes and more than 700 yards
passing. Yeah, that sure sounds like strug-
gling to me.
Also, most of the media is not praising
Urban Meyer; they are actually question-
ing his offense. I don't know what media
Andrew Meyer watches or reads, but most
of the articles and news stories circulating
aren't praising the coach.
Another thing that shreds the author's
credibility is his statement, "You know
who else won a big game against Tennessee
early in his first season as Gator coach? Ron
Zook."
I love how he conveniently uses that
point to say why people shouldn't be ex-
cited about the "second coming of Steve
Spurrier," and yet he leaves out that Ron
Zook was also blown out of the Swamp
by Miami 41-16 two weeks before his
Tennessee win. And this is a journalism
sophomore? Please a real journalist
would do his homework before he spoke
out of his rear end.
Chris Leak is as smart a quarterback as
you will find across the nation, and he will
only improve in Coach Meyer's offense as
the season progresses.
As for Andrew Meyer wishing Josh
Portis was starting don't worry, he'll get
his chance.
Does Meyer think it would have been
intelligent to throw a true freshman into a
huge game against an awesome team like
Tennessee? I'm glad he's not the coach, or
we would be sitting at 2-1 instead of 3-0.
-Josh Portis has great talent and should be
a great quarterback for Coach Meyer's sys-
tem one day, but not now not this season
- when we already have a Heisman-cali-
ber quarterback running the show.

ON CAMPUS
LGBT program begins
By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Writer
dmazzella@alligator.org
UF's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Affairs introduced
an updated Friends Certification
program Tuesday in an attempt to
make the campus safe for students
of all sexual preferences.
The training session was de-
signed to help faculty, students
and staff develop skills as allies
to LGBT students and fight ho-
mophobia and heterosexism, said
event coordinator Ben Witten.
About 40 faculty, staff and stu-
dents attended the session held in
the Graham Gallery.
"[UF] is an accepting envi-
ronment...not 100 percent
but friendlier than others
in the state."
Ricardo Cortez
Student Government LGBT Stu-
dent Affairs Director
Though impersonal, hospi-
tal-like walls and high ceilings
surrounded the group, the night
became more intimate when five
students shared their positive and
negative experiences encountered
as LGBT students at UP.
Some parents were accepting of
their coming out, and some were
not. One student described how a
classmate derided her in a discus-
sion about gay marriage.
A transgender student dis-
cussed the difficulty of going
through a name change.
Student Government LGBT
Student Affairs Director Ricardo
Cortez said the training would
benefit UF's attitude toward this
community.
He said the training "enhances
the campus climate."
"[UF] is an accepting envi-
ronment... not .100 percent but
friendlier than others in the state,"
he said.
UF Director of LGBT Affairs
Tamara Cohen presented models
of how people develop sexual
identities and how allies, or those
who support LGBT people, de-
velop.
The night marked the first
formal friends training by, LGBT
Affairs, Witten said.
It was more advanced than
other workshops given on campus
that focus on definitions of terms,
he said.
"It's been in the past five to six
years...that they've been really
prevalent," Witten said of this type
of university program, more wide-
ly known as a safe-zone program.
After they go through the train-
ing, attendees will receive a friends
placard that says they are a safe
person for LBGT people to go to,
Witten said.

Impact seeks Asian American director
Growl talent chosen
By NAOMI PIERCE
Alligator Contributing Writer
Some of Gainesville's hottest tal-
ent competed Tuesday as students
enjoyed a mix of song and dance.
Solo vocalists and dance groups
gathered at downtown dub Abbey
Road for Gator"Growl Talent Night,
auditioning for the chance to perform
at the world's largest pep rally.
Judges for the event included
Gator Growl officials, three UF bas-
ketball players including Al Horford,
and professor Ric Rose of the univer-
sity's School of Theatre and Dance.
"We had a great time out here,"
Horford said. "It was fun."
Rose had seen most of the dancers
before and praised their good style.
"It was nice to see all the talent in
the Gator Nation," Rose said.
Of the 16 performers, seven were
chosen to show their.. skills at this
year's Gator Growl.
First place in the dance cat-
egory went to EN2RAJ for its hip-
hop moves, while Xtreme Dance
Company received runner-up for its
country linedance.
Dance group Apocalypse's mix of
rap and reggae was a crowd favorite.
They performed at the 2000 Gator
Growl and said it was time for a 5-
year anniversary.
On "The show was hot,"
Campus said member and UF
senior Uthniel Etienne.
"We kept the crowd throughout the
whole show."
Staci Good was awarded first place
in the vocal competition for her sultry
version of "At Last." Runner-up went
to Kellen Malloy for his acoustic gui-
tar version of Ludacris' "What's Your
Fantasy."
All winners and runners-up se-
cured spots at the pep rally, as well as
the clogging group Soundstage, vo-
calist Tasha Youstin and Apocalypse.
PLATFORMS, from page 1
Vice President for Administrative Affairs
Ed Poppell said Gator's plan to close portions
of University Avenue during home games is
probably not feasible because it would severely
restrict east-west traffic in Gainesville.
"I do not think you could close University
Avenue for football games," he said, noting
the importance of emergency vehicles. "That
would be a very difficult thing to do."
However, University Police Department
spokesman Joe Sharkey said a portion of the
busy street is already closed during Gator
Walk, when UF football players are greeted by
fans as they arrive at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Both parties plan to. increase wireless
Internet coverage, but Impact plans to advo-
cate for the service across campus while Gator
is focusing on residence hall common areas.
Hoit said UF's wireless network has main
campus areas "pretty well-blanketed" and that
new equipment is on its way. However, he said
the absence of a tuition-inclusive technology
fee at UF hampers progress.
"That would solve a lot of our funding di-
lemmas," he said. "I'm running a huge deficit
this year. SG support may be very helpful.
They may be able to help fund some of it."
Both parties also want the Regional Transit
System buses to run Sundays.
Poppell agrees that Sunday operation is
ideal, but the idea hasn't been examined by a
discriminate eye.
"I can't say we've ever given it serious
consideration," he said. "I do believe that it
is something thaf should be evaluated. The
reason I say that is if you're going to have a
transit system that people are going to rely on,
it has to work every day. It would be a desir-
able thing."
Impact wants to create the position of a di-
rector of Asian American culture at UF
"Everyone should have their unique issues
heard on campus," Roberts said. "That's what
the cultural organizations are here for. There's
no reason that group should be excluded."
Gator wants to make it mandatory for fac-
ulty members to list their textbooks on UF's
Web site.
"Several faculty members are not participat-
ing in that program," Student Body President
Joe Goldberg said. "So when students go to
buy [books] back, they don't get as much
money for their textbooks."
Goldberg said undergraduate students are
losing $14 million annually because of the lack
of professor participation. If professors used
the program, students could save up to 62
percent, he said.

AROUND GAINESVILLE
City group targets energy usurpers
By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ
Alligator Writer
srodriguez@alligator.org
Riding bicycles and taking
long walks could be in store for
more UF students.
The Gainesville Energy
Advisory Committee discussed
options for conserving energy at
a Tuesday meeting.
The committee suggested us-
ing traffic circles and coordinat-
ing traffic signals to lessen the
effects of stop-and-go traffic.
"If we need traffic circles,
well, then students will get used
to them," said committee mem-
ber Anthony Brennan.
Brennan also advised UF
students to stop driving to class
and suggested UF eliminate
on-campus parking spaces to
keep Gainesville's traffic at a
minimum.
The committee also dis-
cussed using solar water-heat-
ing as a method to conserve
energy.
A solar water-heating sys-
tem will reduce the need for
conventional water heating by
about two-thirds, according to
the Solar Water Technologies
Program Web site.
The committee also is ques-
tioning whether to continue us-
ing chilled water plants, which
consume more electricity than
any other single energy-con-
suming device. .
"[Gainesville Regional
Utilities] is pursuing all the cost-
effective energy conservation
potential that is available in our
community," said Mark Spiller,
staff liaison for the committee
and GRU analyst. "Our goal is
to achieve that conservation to
benefit all our repairs."
GRU has proposed a plan
- that includes six energy-conser-
vation programs including wa-
ter reuse, renewable energy and
energy conservation for coal.
As an incentive, GRU is of-
fering rebates of up to $250 for
participation in any of these en-
ergy-conserving programs.
Every month, the committee
will discuss one item that the
city can save energy on.
In an effort to become a
more environmentally friendly
community, the committee sug-
gested that citizens eliminate
the use of paper and instead to
document everything digitally.
"I would recommend using
PDF files as a format instead of
paper," said committee member
Chris Lanteigne.
Delta Upsilon Fraternity sets additional $10K goal
RELIEF from page 1
feet of water," Martin said. "He decided
to come to Gainesville after the storm and
was here during the event. He's really the
K' Wssaa w
reason we did it."
Martin said Delta Upsilon will contin-
ue to sell the remaining CDs and T-shirts
from the concert and its goal is to raise
$10,000.

Members of UF ROTC collect donations for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The Panhellenic Council has also been
fundraising for the American Red Cross,
and volunteers from UF's 16 sorority
chapters have collected more than $7,000
around campus in eight days.
"People were so willing to donate,"
said Ashley Gomberg, president of the
Panhellenic Council. "We had people put-
ting $50 bills in our buckets."
Gomberg said she thinks the response
has been especially large because of the
ongoing news coverage in the aftermath
of the storm.
"It was just so sad to see the pictures of
all those kids who are missing their fami-
lies," she said. "Besides goods and money,
it's important to keep these people in your
thoughts."
The Panhellenic Council is joined by
the Interfraternity, Multicultural Greek
and National Panhellenic councils in rais-
ing money for the Gator Hurricane Relief
project.
"We folded our efforts into the univer-
sity's large hurricane effort that has been
coordinated by the [Center for Leadership
and Service]," said IFC President John
Dicks. "We were gearing up to do our own
efforts, but we thought that this would be
more organized."

Site offers
faith-based
community
By JAMIE GELFMAN
Alligator Contributing Writer
Online networking communities
like facebook.com are being joined by
a more specialized resource for Jewish
students.
. Miami natives and grandchildren
of Holocaust survivors Steven Linde,
23, and Andrew Resnick, 23, set out last
year to create a similar Internet-based
social network connecting the Jewish
community.
Linde, now a first-year law student
at UF, came up with JewStar.com when
he was a senior last year at UM.
"I came up with the idea to create a
Web site like Friendster after I noticed
the high number of Jewish
Student members," Linde said.
Life The site has more than
30,000 members from
countries including England, Israel,
Spain, Brazil, Australia and Italy and
spans more than 100 college campuses.
More than 500 UF students are regis-
tered on JewStar.com.
Members fill out personal profiles,
post pictures and have their own e-mail
accounts through the site to contact
other members.
JewStar.com staff have planned
events around the country including a
Passover Party in Miami Beach for more
than 2,500 people. They also do philan-
thropic work associated with the largest
volunteer network in Israel, Yad Sarah,
started by the mayor of Jerusalem.
"I think it's really helpful in connect-
ing the Jewish community and connect-
ing with old friends," said UF student
Morgan Geller.
Linde and Resnick said they are
working on adding new Web site fea-
tures such as the option to locate people
in the same classes and join groups for
people with similar interests.

TWO CHEAP NIGHTS OUTI
Career Showcase Guide
Fall '2005
Career Showcase offers opportunities for all
By Alicia Bisanti
As students begin the new school year starting their
internship and job search is likely not first on their to-
do list. However, the process is not one that should be
taken lightly, or put off until the last minute. --
Students should attend Career Showcase on
September 27 & 28, from 9 a.m.- 3p.m., at the Stephen
C. O'Connell Center. Career Showcase is an event
hosted by the Career Resource Center (CRC) each fall
and spring, that helps students explore career options
and meet hundreds of employers that recruit through
the CRC in preparation for their internships, coopera-
tive education and full-time employment search.
Career Showcase will have a two-day format, tech-
nical and non-technical.
Day One, Sept. 27 (Technical) hosts employers
seeking candidates for technical positions in com-
puter science, construction, information systems,
scientific research, etc.
Day Two, Sept. 28 (Non-Technical) features em-
ployers who are hiring for positions in accounting,
banking, communications, consulting, human servic-
es, management, retail, sales etc. The new technical /
non-technical Day format that was piloted last spring
generated positive responses.
"The new technical/non-technical day format
gave students and employers a better understand-
ing of which day suited their needs and balanced the
flow of traffic," said Associate Director for Employee
Relations at the CRC, Tom Halasz.
More than 300 organizations such as Ferguson,
Pulte Homes, Boeing Company, McGladrey & Pullen,
and Southern Company are registered to attend
Career Showcase this fall.
"We've already surpassed our goal of 300 regis-
tered companies; now I hope that the number will
reach 350," said Halasz.
Halasz attributes the increased number of compa-
nies registered for Career Showcase to a number of
factors including; opening the registration process to
employers earlier, a smooth transition and energetic
start of the center's new Assistant Director for Career
events Kristen Muire, and a recovering job market.
Mark Lyden, Recruiting Relations Manager of
Boeing Company, believes that the upturn in the
economy has caused Boeing to look for additional
hires this year.
"We're always hiring, but with the. surplus, our
need is slightly higher," said Lyden.
When asked why Boeing Company returns each
year to Showcase, Lyden responded "The diversity
at UF is excellent in the students and in the different
colleges.
It's really a one-stop-shop. Our company looks for
technical and non-technical positions, through UF's
programs we get what we need."
Employer satisfaction with the performance of their
UF hires also contributes to an increase in companies
recruiting through the CRC.
"We identified UF as one of the top Business (spe-
cifically Accounting) programs in the country and we
want to be at Florida to recruit the top in the country"
said Garry Tacket, Director for National Recruiting,
McGladrey & Pullen. "Florida grads who have joined
&IHOWCA&EIl
9AX-3PX IiL
our firm have been successful in their careers, we
expect that to continue and they report that they are
happy here."
Tacket encourages students to attend Career
Showcase and the Internship Forums as a way of
learning.
"It's never too early to find out about the process
and perhaps make contacts," said Tacket.
He recommends that students even at the freshman
level attend. Tacket went on to recount his interaction
with two impressive sophomores at the reception fol-
lowing the Internship Forum last spring.
"I have the names of two sophomores I met last
spring. It was too early in the
process for our hires, so I'll contact them before we
return to campus this fall."
Students can attend remaining Pre-Showcase
(Extreme Resume Makeover, Employer Resume
Critique, Internship F6rum) events or visit
www.crc.ufl.edu/showcase to prepare for Career
Showcase and their employment search.

nesses' awareness of the numerouLs .
opportunities available in the local
marketplace. Although this project
is a rather common undertaking at
various universities nation-wide,
its establishment held significance
for the UF campus, in wh-ih stu-
dents searching foi professional
opportunities often overlook the ho-
cal market for lack of exposure and
a rather severe competition among
large national employers.
"Because many students associate
Gainesville as a small college town,
few take the time to explore the po-
tential for professional growth with-
in local businesses," said Heather
White, the CRC's assistant director
for experiential education.
"Others opt for taking a semester
off to travel elsewhere for an in-
ternship, ignoring the availability
of local opportunities."
Local employers, were less in-
formed about UF students' avail-
ability and professional--prospec-
tive, thus hindering potential for
local economic growth.
-"BRIDGE's greatest contribution
lias been the ability to link our local
employers with the UF student pop-
ulation to let them know about the
great employment opportunities.
here and to get the students more
involved in our community. said

"The Gainesville Area Chamber
,.f Commerce has hired three in-
terns as full time staff in the last
two years,."
The Career Resource Center will
connect students and participating
local employers, ultimately facili-
tating greater connectivity between
Gainesville-area professionals and
UF students.
Interested students are encour-
aged to update their resumes and

Hear what students are saying about Career Showcase ..-
Guillermo Moratorio
"I first went to the Career
Showcase in the spring of
my freshman year. I used
the CRC website to get the
basics on how to talk to
recruiters, what to say, and
how to approach companies
in your 'top 10' list.
"The most important
thing about my visit to the
career fair that time, wasn't
whether or not I got an internship, it was the
networking.
"I went back to Career Showcase, the following
fall; the same recruiters that I was interested in
already knew my name. The most important
thing is to head out to the career fair during your
freshman year.
"The networking ties you build and the
impression you give employers from going there
so early are huge bonuses towards getting an
internship or job offer later."
Guillermo Moratorio is a third year Industrial/
Systems Engineering student. He worked with Intel
Corporation in Colorado Springs, CO Spring 05
- Summer 05. He looks forward to a second rotation
with them next summer.
Brian Dubrow
"My summer was
excellent! I went to Career
Showcase in sophomore
year to check it out because
I knew I'd be back during
my junior year. In my
junior year I researched
m different companies that
t ... I was interested in. When
I went to CS I had a small
group of companies that I
talked to. You know which companies you like
by talking to the employers during the day.
The amount of information the recruiters gave.
me on the spot and their willingness to spend
time talking to me at the fair helped me decide
who I wanted to interview with. I didn't have
any worries about being a Liberal Arts and
Science major because I was well prepared. I
knew how to interact with employers through
training at the Career Resource Center. And I
knew which opportunities were a match for
my qualifications. Be prepared for Showcase.
Research companies ahead of time so you don't
waste your time talking to random companies
you aren't interested in.
Get involved in extracurricular activities that
can demonstrate that you have a range of skills
and experiences outside of the classroom."
Brian Dubrow is a fourth year Criminology major.
He completed an Assets Protection Internship with
Target this summer.
Stephanie Maria Leon
I attended Career Showcase
in my junior and senior years
here at UF and was able to
attain an internship which
led to a full-time offer with
KPMG, LLP. My advice to all
students who are interested
in pursuing an internship is
to start early and be prepared!
Go to Career Showcase the
year before you start actively
looking for employment so that you can get a feel
for the event and start building relations with
recruiters and take advantage of everything that the
Career Resource Center has to offer. Good Luck!

Internship forum to give students insider tips
By'valeria Lesto
A mere 10 to 15 hours a week could
set you apart from another job appli-
cant in today's competitive professional
market.
Internships provide you with valu-
ables' pre-professional experience by
allowing you to develop your profes-
sional and. interpersonal skills. It also
gives you the opportunity to network
with potential employers early in your
college career, thus providing you with
a competitive edge in the job market.
Additionally, internships allow you to
explore different aspects of your major,
that will help you make career deci-
sions.

in securing internships, students need
to hear employers' perspectives regard-
ing successful interns," said Amelie
Romelus, the Career Resource Center's
graduate assistant for experiential edu-
cation.
The CRC's Internship Forum, which
has been held every semester for ap-
proximately three years, will be held
on September 27 at 6 p.m. in the Reitz
Union Grand Ballroom.
The forum promises to provide you
with an unparalleled opportunity to
learn more about internships and to
network with potential employers.
More than 200 students attended
last semester's forum.
"I am confident that student atten-
dance will increase due to our diverse
employer panel," Romelus, who is in
charge of coordinating the forum, said.
"I hope students take advantage of the
free advice the employers are provid-
ing."
This semester's panel includes repre-
sentatives from IBM, RSM McGladrey,
Harris, Target, the National Security
Agency and Microsoft, among others,
who will answer all your questions
about researching companies, market-
ing yourself to employers, preparing
your resume, obtaining a valuable
internship and any other of your intern-
ship-search related questions.
Romelus suggests that students in-
terested in a specific company should
make sure they research the company
and the internship positions it offers in
order to ask educated questions.
"Students will have the opportu-
nity to set the agenda without having

to worry about formalities or having to
turn in a resume," Romelus said.
Attendees will have the chance
to meet, greet and network with the

Students of all majors and classifica-
tions are invited to participate, business
casual attire is recommended.

Injury gives WRs heavier load
By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Staff Writer
eesteban@alligator.org
The challenge before Coach
Urban Meyer is simple. Replace
your fastest up-and-coming re-
ceiver and starting kick-return
specialist as you head into the
heart of a tough Southeastern
Conference schedule.
Meyer's receiving corps got
dealt its first personnel blow on
Saturday night when junior Andre
Caldwell went down for the sea-
son with a broken right femur. The
Gators have a host of unproven re-
ceivers that they will need to rely
on for big plays and touchdowns,
but the majority of the pressure
will fall on the shoulders of junior
Jemalle Cornelius.
"On offense, _you turn the heat
up on Jemalle, and his role in the
offense just tripled," Meyer said. "I
saw him play against Georgia last
year. He took a bad play and made
a great play."
Cornelius has proven to be a
valuable addition for the Gators,
particularly in the slot, where his
speed and elusiveness make him
hard to contain. In 2004, he fin-
ished the year with 12 catches for
154 yards and three touchdowns.
As a--target that was often relied
cr as the third or fourth option in
most plays this year, Cornelius is
looking to step up his game right
away.
"The opportunity to come
out and play a bigger role in the
offense and contribute to the
team definitely motivates me,"
Cornelius said. "I have to play
full speed all of the time, and as
a player, you know when it's time
for you to step up."
"I think Kenneth Tookes,
Gavin [Dickey], and Tate
[Casey] are all going to
have to do a lot more and I
believe they can." '
Jemalle Cornelius
UF receiver
He will also be counted on to
see time at the playmaking H-back
position. While Chad Jackson is
the main threat, Cornelius will also
see plays at the position, much like
Caldwell did from out of the slot
and backfield.
The loss of Caldwell puts even
more pressure at the already-thin
fourth and fifth receiver spots,
with several candidates bringing
their own set of weapons to the
position.
"I think Kenneth Tookes, Gavin
[Dickey], and Tate [Casey] are all
going to have to do a lot more
and I believe they can," Cornelius
said.
Tookes, a 6-foot-2, 209-pound
junior, has made more plays
without the football than with it,
but that's a technique that Meyer
has stressed since spring practices
began. His strong blocking tech-
niques have made him an asset to
the offense, playing in every game
so far.
Dickey brings the most speed
to the position, but he has only one
career collegiate reception to his
name. Having played primarily
at quarterback in the past, putting
Dickey in at fifth receiver would
allow Meyer to tinker with trick
plays.
UF's depth issues at tight end
have sophomore Tate Casey in a
bind so far this year. At 6-foot-6,
242 pounds, his versatility is cru-
cial on a majority of the rushing
plays run out of the spread offense.
At the fifth receiver spot, Casey
could test defenses like he did last
year down the middle of the field
and on goal line situations.
After three games, he only
has one catch for 9 yards, which
happened against Wyoming.
However, Casey has proved to
be valuable in the red zone and -a
proven target for Leak after catch-
ing four touchdowns last year.
"Right now, I'm just trying to
do whatever is asked of me for this
team to win, and the team is win-
ning games," Casey said.
"I think I could do a lot more
in this offense, and I think I'm
capable of doing a lot more. It's
up to me to mature a bit more as a
younger guy."
Anay Apiceiia, 9ihLg,3Ot
Receiver Jemalle Cornelius must crank it up a notch with junior An-
dre Caldwell done for the season.
Meyer puts aside ego, recognizes Gators' defense will win games
How does that old cliche go?
Ah yes-a great coach can take his play-
ers and beat yours, and then he can take
your players and beat his. -
Well then, Urban old chap, congratula-
tions because you were a great coach last
Saturday night.
Sure, the victory over Tennessee was
thanks to the Punt 'n' Defend as opposed to
the Spread 'n' Shred, but Meyer knows his
offense will eventually get there.
While most fans gripe about how poor
the offense has looked, allow me to remind
you that nothing matters more than wins
and losses.
Last season, was Ron Zook a genius
when his Gators averaged 32 points a
game?
No, all fans remember is 7-5.
AJhalftime against the Vols, I was con-

vinced that Meyer (or 3-0 if you prefer) was
done. The score was tied up but the game
was playing directly into Phil Fulmer's
hands. Tennessee ran wild while Chris
Leak was running for his life.
But then something happened behind
closed doors at halftime. Meyer must have
checked his ego and realized he could not
beat the Volunteers as he had planned.
I couldn't believe how UF won that
game. Meyer out-Fulmered Fulmer. That's
right, ball control and stingy defense ga-
lore.
You know the fact that his offense cur-
rently ranks behind Vanderbilt, Alabama,
and Arkansas in the Southeastern
Conference has to be killing Meyer.
Lesser coaches have succumbed to their
egp and sacrificed whole games because
/hey were so stubborn.
* Led by Matt Every's 68 on Tues-
day, the Gators overcame a 12-
stroke deficit to win the Inverness
Invitational by 13 strokes. Every
finished even, a tourney-best.
Let's take a stroll
down memory lane,
shall we?
In 1997, the Gators
were the defending
Farzad Safi national champions
Far's Side and possessed one of
Far's ide the best defenses and
fsafi@alligator.org running backs Fred
Taylor in the nation.
The O1' Ball' Coach, however, was used
to winning with the Fun 'n' Gun and didn't
plan on changing his routine anytime soon.
UF traveled to Baton Rouge to take on a
much weaker LSU team. It seemed obvious
to everyone watching that game. how UF
could win-give the ball to Taylor.
The Gators lost 28-21 because Spurrier
was bent on proving his offense could
work. Doug Johnson threw an unsightly
1996 : Peyton Manning passes for 492
yards but No. 2 Tennessee still can't defeat
No. 4 UF, as the Gators escape Knoxville
with a 35-29 victory. The Gators would go on
to win their own national title.
57 passes and four picks. Taylor ran for
three touchdowns but spent most of the
fourth quarter on the sidelines thanks to his
coach's intractability.
In the NFL, Brian Billick was the of-
fensive genius behind the 1998 Vikings,
who set an NFL record for most points in a
season with 556.
Baltimore hired him and Billick rec-
ognized that his team's strength was the
defense. Two years later, Billick won the
Super Bowl with a team that allowed 165
points during the season the fewest in
NFL history.
Could-it really hurt UF to dance with the
lady who brought them here so far? .
As long as the Gators are racking up
W's, I'd lay off the complaints, because
things could and have been worse.
"It's good I.didn't hear the damn
thing. Especially in our stadium."

UF FOOTBALL
Gators land 344-pound offensive guard 'Big Hurt'
By LOUIS ANASTASIS"
Alligator Staff Writer
lanastasis@alligator.org
UF's offensive line just got a whole lot
meatier
With the Gators losing tour starting of-
fensive linemen including standout cen-
ter Mike Degory due to graduation after
the season, UF locked up 6-foot-3, 344-
pound prep guard Maurice Hurt Tuesday.
Nicknamed the Big Hurt, the high
school senior plans on enrolling for the
spring semester to get a leg up on classes
and Urban Meyer's schemes.
"I'm coming for sure to Florida,' said
Hurt, a Baldwin High (Milledgeville, Ga.)
student, who made the official announce-
ment at a morning press conference.
"That's it. There's no changing my mind."
Hurt attended Saturday's UF-Tehnessee
game just to get a feel for the atmosphere,
but left awestruck by the program and the
opportunity for playing time.
"They didn't say I'd start or get a chance
to play; they said they'd give me a chance,
and that's what I like," Hurt said. "I don't
want anything given to me. I want to earn
it. So I'm hoping I have a good chance to
play at Florida.
Allwantis a shot and they're probably
going to give it to me."
Hurt's itch for early playing time com-
bined with UF's lack of depth on the 2006
line could be the perfect marriage. Though
he is just a three-star recruit according to
scout.com, Hurt provides the kind of girth
-the Gators lack up front. UF's heaviest
player, 320-pound Tavares Washington, is
a senior.
"I love contact and I-get the job done,"
said Hurt, who also loves the prospect of
blocking in the Spread 'n' Shred. "It's just
whatI like to do hit."
Hurt's verbal commitment is non-bind-
ing until he signs a letter of intent next -
February.
BLOODY TUESDAYS: Watch the fourth quar-
ters of UF's games closely, and you'll notice
something interesting.
The Gators are running and flying all
over the field and on every play. There is
no huffing, no puffing, no late-game fatigue.
This is by design and it starts with some-
thing called Bloody Tuesdays.
Under Meyer, Tuesday practices have
become a battle for survival, a physical test
so strenuous, players say games are much
easier.
"This whole season, I haven't even been
winded in a game," defensive end Jeremy
Mincey said. "I'm really shocked at that. ...
You don't know how hard you work until
you get in the game and the game's. a lot
slower than practice."
Decking players in full pads and pushing
them to the limit, Bloody Tuesdays are one
of Meyer's many schemes to. avoid late-
game collapses.
Saturday, it worked wonders.
, Said tight end Tate Casey: "Practice like
you're playing the game and play the game
like you practice."
CALDWELL RED-SHIRTED, MURPHY IN MIX:
After undergoing surgery to repair a clean
break of the femur in his right leg on Sunday,
wide receiver Andre Caldwell was released
from Shands Hospital at UF Tuesday. Meyer
also announced Caldwell will be able to
receive a medical redshirt since he did not
play more than three games. With Caldwell
out, Meyer will begin acclimating wide
receiver Louis Murphy to the receiving
corps. Murphy should play on special teams
against Kentucky.
FUMBLITIS?: After rushing for 68 yards
against Louisiana Tech, running back
Markus Manson nearly warranted more
significant playing time.
Manson, however, never saw the field
against Tennessee.
The redshirt freshman, albeit a favorite
of Meyer and a member of his leadership
committee, is battling fumbling issues.
Meyer said Manson is closer than ever
to consistent playing time so long as he
tweaks his technique.
"If Markus Manson has the habit- of
dropping his wrist below the elbow and
dropping his elbow, he will not play no
one will," Meyer said. "He would jeopar-
dize our chance to win that game."

Burleigh gives team
satisfactory review
* GATORS HEAD INTO SEC
PLAY WITH 5-2 RECORD
By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer
Passing a class with a B is what
marge UF students strive for.
It's just that kind of effort from
the UF soccer team that has Coach
Becky Burleigh concerned.
"I'm one of those players
who doesn't need [points]
to keep on going."
Ananda Erickson
UF soccer player
Burleigh, who looks at the season
fractionally, said the team earned a B
grade for its opening third. '
The Gators finished their non-
conference schedule at 5-2, their,
worst record through seven games
since 2002.
"We're not ready to match up
against the best teams, losing to
Notre Dame and giving up four
goals to FSU," Burleigh said. "We
also had some good results against
some good teams, so that's how I
came to a B."
UF opens .its Southeastern
Conference schedule against
Alabama on Friday in Pressly
Stadium at 8 p.m.
ROAD TO RECOVERY: UF is on the
road to recovery after a rash of inju-
ries hit the team in the early part of
the season.
Freshman phenom Megan Kerns
suited up to work out on the practice
field for the first time in nearly three
weeks on Tuesday.
Kerns, who notched a goal
and an assist in the season opener
against Drake, tore her meniscus in
August and expected to be out four
to six weeks.
"We're working her back into
practice," Burleigh said. "This is the
first time I've seen her [practicing
with the injury]."
In addition, Ananda Erickson
and Amber Presnick, who missed
Friday's match against Florida State
with injuries, returned to action on
Sunday against Central Florida.
Freshman Carly Deiter, who
hasn't played a minute this season,
also is nearing a return.
"Everybody's coming back this
week, hopefully," Burleigh said.
GOALIES FACE CONTROVERSY: The
goalkeeper controversy got a little
more interesting during the week-
end when starter Jen Gardner suf-
fered a broken cheekbone against
FSU.
"It's pretty swollen if you've seen
her," Burleigh said. "It looks like she
has a big old tumor....The swelling
Andy Apicella / Alligator
Coach Becky Burleigh gave the UF soccer team (5-2) a B grade for the non-conference portion of the
regular season. The Gators open Southeastern Conference play against Alabama on Friday at 8 p.m.
is an issue in terms of her vision."
Brittni Goodwin filled in admi-
rably in her first start of the season.
Sunday, shutting out UCF and re-
cording nine saves.
Goodwin has a week of practice
to take the job away from Gardner,
who picked up three shutouts in six
starts.
"All season that has been
a battle between those two,"
Burleigh said. "The way we look
at the keeper position is once one
person wins the position, then it's
the other person's opportunity to
try and beat.them out."
ON THE BOARD: Erickson notched
her first collegiate goal Sunday,
but that does not mean much to
the junior midfielder.
Earning recognition such as be-
ing named to an All-Tournament
team, something she has done
twice this year, motivates
Erickson.
"I'm one of those players who
doesn't need [points] to keep on
going," Erickson said. "The titles
are nice. They help boost my con-
fidence. It helps me grow."

The Gator and Impact parties announced the platforms they plan to implement after the Fall election next week, which includes 46 open Student Senate seats. Gator plans to close portions of University Avenue during home football games for safety reasons, renovating the Reitz Union Student Activities Center and the Rion Ballroom, and lobbying for wireless Internet coverage in residence-hall common areas. Impact intends to bring free printing for students in every CIRCA computer lab, increase wireless Internet throughout campus, employ a director of Asian American culture and bring an "end to legacy positions." Gator Party spokesman Thomas Philpot said his party's platform is attainable. "We want to make sure that students understand that we are putting realistic goals on our platform and that our candidates can actually accomplish them," he said. Impact Party spokesman Adam Roberts said if Impact's platform becomes reality, students would see results. "If our platform were to be completely implemented, I think students would see for once that a party is willing to act in their best interest," he said. "Not everything needs to be a one-half-million-dollar project tobe effective." Student Activities Center receptionist Karima Douglas said Gator's plan to remodel the offices is warranted. "More people want office space, and they can't get it," she said. Twenty-two of the 700 organizations on campus call the center their headquarters, she said. SG adviser Chris Cupoli said the center has had the same square footage since the Reitz Union was erected in May 1967. "This has been a long-range goal for student activities for about five years," he said. "At this point, we haven't figured out if we are adding on or just redesigning." However, SG officials and administration are in control of the recent state-released Capital Improvement Trust Fund money, which Cupoli said is needed to improve existing conditions. "One of the roles of SG is to advocate" for the projects officials feel need the funds, he said. .If our platform were to be completely implemented, I think students would see for once that a party is willing to act in their best interest. Not everything needs to be a one-half-million-dollar project to* be effective." Adam Roberts Impact Party spokesman Impact's idea of bringing free printing to students at CIRCA labs is being embraced with welcome, ink-stained arms. Computer Operations Manager for CIRCA Daniel Delgado said the labs have never been able to displace costs associated with printing students' work. "I think we'd be thrilled about it," he said. "I think everyone kind of grumbles generally about the price. I always hear some stuff about it." CIRCA charges 10 cents for each black-andwhite page printed. Delgado said the printers are strained on a daily basis. "We really push the printers hard in the labs," he said. "There's a lot of maintenance. There's a lot more cost than just paper." Interim Vice Provost for Information Technology Marc Hoit said UF students were billed $300,000 for 2 million printed pages in 2003-04.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 20053 ALLIGATOR, 3 STUDENT GOVERNMENT Senae deatesAlligator cartoon By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@alligator.org Sparked by controversy resulting from a recent Alligator editorial cartoon, Student Body President Joe Goldberg issued an executive order at Tuesday's Student Senate meeting halting all Student Governmentfunded advertising in the Alligator. Student Body statutes require certain notices to be advertised in "the newspaper with the greatest circulation among University of Florida students." -The Alligator has the highest student circulation of any print newspaper, but Goldberg said UF's Wednesday Update and the SG Web site "have more hits" than the Alligator. Whether these two systems can be considered higher-circulating newspapers is at the discretion of the SG Supreme Court. When a senator asked how much money the Alligator could lose as a result of his order, Goldberg said, "I have no idea. Hopefully, it's as much money as possible." Sen. Christopher Eklund expressed concern that a separate Senate resolution condemning the Alligator would be seen as an attack on the newspaper by SG. "We all know that there has been a lot of tension between Student Government and the Alligator on issues completely unrelated to prejudice," he said. A s s i s t a n t Black Student Union Treasurer Goldberg Tyler Redden spoke in favor of a resolution to condemn the Alligator and urge local businesses to withdraw advertising. "This is for every single community that has been exploited and burtby Alligator cartoons-and Andy Marlette's attempt to spark controversy, and I'm pissed," he said. Expressing frustration that "every organization [he's] been in has been criticized," Sen. Michael Patrone suggested a new newspaper controlled by the university be established on campus. But "for now," he said, "let's focus on the wound that's gushing blood. Let's stop the damage." Sen. Gordon Owen said he disagrees with the cartoon but thinks that Marlette did his job. "The point of an editorial cartoon is to provide social commentary," he said. "Marlette does a pretty good job at getting a good response out of students." The Senate also voted to remove the Caribbean Student Association from the SG budget, citing an incident last Spring when the organization spent about $6,000 more than it .had been allotted. In other Senate news, the seat representing both Keys and Springs residential complexes was split into two separate positions. The seat representing off-campus ZIP codes not listed in SG statutes was incorporated into what was District F and will now be known as District E.

4, ALLIGATOR 0 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 By MORGAN GELLER Alligator Contributing Writer Condom use may be more exciting thanks to a new technological form of contraception: the vibrating condom. TouchMe USA hopes to kick off its Safe Sex is Fun campaign to promote sexual health while promoting the new product aft Up. The product runs on a micro-battery which is inside the product's vibrating ring and lasts for 20 minutes, Davis said. "It's great for women because sex would be more effective for young women who wouldn't be so experienced," Davis said. "It's also a great backup if the guy can't perform." "It's a win-win situation," said Rachel Davis, TouchMe USA's marketing director. "Safe sex is promoted on campus, the students promoting the product make their own hours and get marketing experience, and the company has a chance to sell and promote the product." Davis is hoping to contact organizations such as fraternities and sororities to have them sell the vibrating Student condoms at events Life to make students more aware of the consequences of unprotected sex. In addition, TouchMe USA is planning to promote its product at local bars and nightclubs in the Gainesville area as well as tabling on campus, she said. The condom, which won the Invention of the Year Award in 2003, is intended to stimulate both partners, she said.' It can be used without a partner, and the ring is vacuum sealed to ensure cleanliness. Other businesses in Gainesville are following in selling this new product. "I'm glad it's out in the store," said James Rountrye, sales supervisor of Spencer Gifts in the Oaks Mall. "It's kind of unique, kind of new, and safe sex is always a plus." The vibrating condom should interest people because it's something innovative and interesting, Rountrye said. "We're the only store in the mall that sells condoms, and it's great that it's out on the floor as opposed to being behind a counter, and that way everyone can see it," he said. TouchMe USA expects the vibrating condom will have a positive market at UF, Davis said. 1 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Gator Growl 2005 Featmuringu W.yn.

6, ALLIGATOR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 Editorial Trinkets galore SG spends student money on self-promotion know you're a little sick of editorials on how Student Government spends your money. We understand. We hate to talk about money too. But the election is coming up next week, so we're going to beat it into the ground. Maybe someone will care. The issue we want to address today is all the money SG has spent on trinkets and trips. We're getting really worried about whether there's anything left in the SG vault. The next time Student Body President Joe Goldberg creeps in to take more funds for SG interests, only a few neglected foam alligators will be left. Last fiscal year, SG spent more than $14,000 on memorabilia that supposedly advertises that they exist.I We're all for more access to SG, but those commercials and cutesy toys actually scare us away. We want to know how much money SG gives student groups for self-promotion like that. Sure, some of them spend a little on the fun stuff, but nowhere near that chunk. This is really just more of a central, recurring problem. SG looks at itself as an organization that is more important than the student groups they fund, and officials see students' money as their personal coffer. SG exists to responsibly distribute student fees and represent the student body. It does not need funding beyond what's needed to properly represent the students. This advertising only helps spread the smiling faces of SG executives; it does not help the student body in any way. We remember when Student Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi wrote on these very pages that, if elected, she would make sure that "Student Government funds are spent. in the best interests of the entire student body." So much for that. But what really gets us going is her spiel in the same column about how SG reserves are swelling with money and need to be spent instead of "collecting dust." Sigh. Lindsay, if SG reserves were so huge, then it was a sign the Activity & Service Fee should be lowered or at least kept constant for a year. As it stands, SG raises the tuition-funded fee every single year without fail. It's too late for all that, though. We're pretty sure Cosimi stuck to her guns on that prose and helped throw all the reserves away We hope there isn't .a key chain or fluffy toy crisis soon. Where would we get the money? Our all-time favorite classic SG fumble is fiscal redundancy. More than $3,000 was spent to send a few SG officials to Washington. We definitely understand the need for our student representatives to go lobby the government for our interests. And we know SG provides a few student organizations with funds for the same type of trips. We'll even agree with SG Lobby Coordinator Thomas Philpot, who said it was "absolutely imperative" that the Florida congressmen who legislate financial aid meet with representatives of UF's student body. But Tom, doesn't SG dole out $60,000 to a private lobbying group? SG is also a member of the Florida Student Association, which cost us almost $30,000 a year to join. We think we're pretty covered. So why do officials need to pay for individual trips to Washington? It's because all of the lobbying groups SG funds focus on the state legislature. If officials think we need a face at the national level, then maybe we should actually budget for that. Perhaps SG officials should discuss these issues through the e-mail features of their student-funded Blackberrys.

And the Democrats in Senate should follow suit when it's their turn. There are certainly pragmatic reasons why Democrats should acquiesce. Not least of these is the simple fact that the Democrats are rather sizably outnumbered -Roberts needs only a simple majority of votes, and he has that in hand with 55 Republican senators. With a defeat almost certainly inevitable, Democrats need to ask themselves if the expenditure of money and resources such a fight would require would be practical. A battle over John Roberts would be more palatable if rank-and-file Democrats had any reason to show confidence in their party's leadership to fight the battle intelligently. As it stands, the Democratic Party has shown a rather unfortunate tendency to come out on the losing end of PR battles. A humiliating Democratic defeat in this fight could only embolden the president to try to fill Sandra Day O'Connor's seat with the kind of hardcore right-wing ideologue who would make Roberts look to be the next William 0. Douglas. Of course, all of the above would be pointless if the battle was a just one. From time to time, there will be causes so noble they require decent men to sacrifice party, politics and popularity in defense of them. Shooting down John Roberts is not one of those causes. For all the reasons why Democrats can't defeat John Roberts, they're far less important than the fact that they shouldn't defeat John Roberts. No, Roberts isn't a conservative acolyte who will set back jurisprudence 50 years. No, he's not likely to eviscerate libAndrew Bare eral policies or destroy civil rights legThe Bare Truth islation. In fact, the president deserves abare@alligator.org alot of credit for nominating someone who eams skepticism from the right as well as the left. Barring something truly extraordinary, Supreme Court nominees. (or Cabinet nominees or any other presidential nominees) should not be vetoed on the basis of political ideology. When Republicans speak of not wanting "activist judges," they only mean that they want Republicans on the bench. Democrats should not fall to that level of hypocrisy. Furthermore, rank-and-file Democrats, and allAmericans, should be satisfied, if not ecstatic, with their representatives' questioning of President Bush's nominee. Civil rights, Roe v. Wade, memoranda written by Roberts while working for the Department of Justice -these and all topics were open for free and vigorous debate in the committee room, and they will be open to the same in the Senate chamber. You can't intelligently advise -or in good. conscience consent -without going through the healthy elements of discussion and dissent inherent ina democracy. Roberts' performance, while smooth and impressive, was hardly transparent. Too.many questions were "answered" with unclear or evasive responses. In a perfect world, he would have been completely forthcoming. But Roberts didn't obfuscate any more than previous nominees; he merely did a better job of it. The hard-truth is that George Bush will not nominate a judge who Democrats like. George Bush is a conservative Republican, and as such will nominate a conservative Republican. That he's nominated someone Democrats can in good conscience accept is going to have to be enough. Andrew Bare is a journalists junior. His columrnn appears on Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 K ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Preparation was Nagin's responsibility The editorial on New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin couldn't have been more brilliantly written. Speaking as the child of a county safety and security coordinator, I can share what my father has told me over and over again. The best way to deal with disaster is through preparation -of which Nagin did none. I loved that throughout this entire ordeal the blame was placed mainly on the federal government, while it was forgotten that New Orleans has a government too. Since when is it the Fed's job to breastfeed all 50 states? Assistance is their job; preparation was Nagin's. I say: don't stop at the sock in his mouth and binding of his bands. I say we conk him on the head with a mallet. Then, when he finally starts to feel some of the pain he helped inflict on the people he claims to care about, he'll have some sense of what the hell is going on. Gabriella A. Vigier 3JM Tolerance should reign in race issue On the subject of Kanye West's recent controversial statement, there seems to be two sides: those who firmly agree with the artist and those who think he is downright wrong and out of line. Personally, I suspect that many -but not all -in the second category simply dismiss him as another "angry black man" who doesn't know how to control his inappropriate outbursts. I like to call these people ignorant or even racist. However, I could not presume to generalize an entire group of people solely on the basis that they have all come to the same conclusion. I urge others to do the same. Why are people so insistent upon taking a defiant stance on this issue that West brought to the forefront? Does President Bush really not care about all black people? We can have our opinions just like we have our opinions on many controversial issues, but it is important to admit that none of us can possibly know for sure the true answer to this question. So why don't we stop pretending like we all do? It wouldn't hurt to debate this topic while promoting tolerance and understanding of the opposing viewpoint. West brings up a heated issue for Americans to ponder, one that cannot be swiftly pushed under the rug by silencing an open dialogue on the issue of race in America. Perhaps we could all take a step back and consider the gray area that lies between what has become a black and white issue. Jessica R. Ponn 2LS Columnist ignorant of Leak's worth I pity Coach Urban Meyer that he must share his surname with Andrew Meyer. After reading Andrew Meyer's column Tuesday slamming Chris Leak, I'm disgusted. "That's right, I think Chris Leak is a bad player," he said. I would like to get some of what he is smoking because it must be some great stuff. Has he watched the same quarterback for the last three years that I have? For a quarterback who has gone through the offensive philosophy changes that he has and has produced like he does, Chris Leak is an elite one. For someone learning a complex system, a system that took Heisman candidate and first pick in the NFL draft Alex Smith almost a full year to grasp, I think he is doing an excellent job. He hasn't thrown a pick yet, has five touchdown passes and more than 700 yards passing. Yeah, that sure sounds like struggling to me. Also, most of the media is not praising Urban Meyer; they are actually questioning his offense. I don't know what media Andrew Meyer watches or reads, but most of the articles and news stories circulating aren't praising the coach. Another thing that shreds the author's credibility is his statement, "You know who else won a big game against Tennessee early in his first season as Gator coach? Ron Zook." I love how he conveniently uses that point to say why people shouldn't be excited about the "second coming of Steve Spurrier," and yet he leaves out that Ron Zook was also blown out of the Swamp by Miami 41-16 two weeks before his Tennessee win. And this is a journalism sophomore? Please -a real journalist would do his homework before he spoke out of his rear end. Chris Leak is as smart a quarterback as you will find across the nation, and he will only improve in Coach Meyer's offense as the season progresses. As for Andrew Meyer wishing Josh Portis was starting -don't worry, he'll get his chance. Does Meyer think it would have been intelligent to throw a true freshman into a huge game against an awesome team like Tennessee? I'm glad he's not the coach, or we would be sitting at 2-1 instead of 3-0. -Josh Portis has great talent and should be a great quarterback for Coach Meyer's system one day, but not now -not this season -when we already have a Heisman-caliber quarterback running the show.

8, ALLiGATOR E WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 ON CAMPUS LG"BT programs begFins By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Writer dmazzella@alIigator.org UF's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs introduced an updated Friends Certification program Tuesday in an attempt to make the campus safe for students of all sexual preferences. The training session was designed to help faculty, students and staff develop skills as allies to LGBT students and fight homophobia and heterosexism, said event coordinator Ben Witten. About 40 faculty, staff and students attended the session held in the Graham Gallery. "[UF] is an accepting environment.not 100 percent but friendlier than others in the state." Ricardo Cortez Student Government LGBT Student Affairs Director Though impersonal, hospital-like walls and high ceilings surrounded the group, the night became more intimate when five students shared their positive and negative experiences encountered as LGBT students at UF. Some parents were accepting of their coming out, and some were not. One student described how a classmate derided her in a discussion about gay marriage. A transgender student discussed the difficulty of going through a name change. Student Government LGBT Student Affairs Director Ricardo Cortez said the training would benefit UF's attitude toward this community. He said the training "enhances the campus climate." "[UF] is an accepting environment. not 100 percent but friendlier than others in the state," he said. UF Director of LGBT Affairs Tamara Cohen presented models of how people develop sexual identities and how allies, or those who support LGBT people, develop. The night marked the first formal friends training by LGBT Affairs, Witten said. It was more advanced than other workshops given on campus that focus on definitions of terms, he said. "It's been in the past five to six years. that they've been really prevalent," Witten said of this type of university program, more widely known as a safe-zone program. After they go through the training, attendees will receive a friends placard that says they are a safe person for LBGT people to go to, Witten said. % 9%~ L i-loss la c0U 1V OI -Emifly, mark Representative A V N t'hmakeup yoU cana buy and, sell Want to plan your own road trip?

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 9 Growl ta ent chosen By NAOMI PIERCEY Alligator Contributing Writer Some of Gainesville's hottest talent competed Tuesday as students enjoyed a mix of song and dance. Solo vocalists and dance groups gathered at downtown club Abbey Road for Gator'Growl Talent Night, auditioning for the chance to perform at the world's largest pep rally. Judges for the event included Gator Growl officials, three UF basketball players including Al Horford, and professor Ric Rose of the university's School of Theatre and Dance. "We had a great time out here," Horford said. "It was fun." Rose had seen most of the dancers before and praised their good style. "It was nice to see all the talent in the Gator Nation," Rose said. Of the 16 performers, seven were chosen to show their skills at this year's Gator Growl. First place in the dance category went to EN2RAJ for its hiphop moves, while Xtreme Dance Company received runner-up for its country linedance. Dance group Apocalypse's mix of rap and reggae was a crowd favorite. They performed at the 2000 Gator Growl and said it was time for a 5year anniversary. On "The show was hot," Campus said member and UT senior Uthniel Etienne. "We kept the crowd throughout the whole show." Staci Good was awarded first place in the vocal competition for her sultry version of "At Last." Runner-up went to Kellen Malloy for his acoustic guitar version of Ludacris' "What's Your Fantasy." All winners and runners-up secured spots at the pep rally, as well as the clogging group Soundstage, vocalist Tasha Youstin and Apocalypse. Impact seeks Asian American director PLATFORMS, from page 1 Vice President for Administrative Affairs Ed Poppell said Gator's plan to close portions of University Avenue during home games is probably not feasible because it would severely restrict east-west traffic in Gainesville. "I do not think you could close University Avenue for football games," he said, noting the importance of emergency vehicles. "That would be a very difficult thing to do." However, University Police Department spokesman Joe Sharkey said a portion of the busy street is already closed during Gator Walk, when UF football players are greeted by fans as they arrive at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Both parties plan to .increase wireless Internet coverage, but Impact plans to advocate for the service across campus while Gator is focusing on residence hall common areas. Hoit said UF's wireless network has main campus areas "pretty well-blanketed" and that new equipment is on its way. However, he said the absence of a tuition-inclusive technology fee at UF hampers progress. "That would solve a lot of our funding dilemmas," he said. "I'm running a huge deficit this year. SG support may be very helpful. They may be able to help fund some of it." Both parties also want the Regional Transit System buses to run Sundays. Poppell agrees that Sunday operation is ideal, but the idea hasn't been examined by a discriminate eye. "I can't say we've ever given it serious consideration," he said. "I do believe that it is something that should be evaluated. The reason I say that is if you're going to have a transit system that people are going to rely on, it has to work every day. It would be a desirable thing." Impact wants to create the position of a director of Asian American culture at Ua "Everyone should have their unique issues heard on campus," Roberts said. "That's what the cultural organizations are here for. There's no reason that group should be excluded." Gator wants to make it mandatory for faculty members to list their textbooks on UF's Web site. "Several faculty members are not participating in that program," Student Body President Joe Goldberg said. "So when students go to buy [books] back, they don't get as much money for their textbooks." Goldberg said undergraduate students are losing $14 million annually because of the lack of professor participation. If professors used the program, students could save up to 62 percent, he said. 4X4lD 1AMWAR=OUkSev Jeans S16.99 Tanks S5.99 Tops $7.99 Shorts $7.99 Pants .$12.99 Sweaters .$12.99 Outerwear .S 524.99 Accessories $0.99 September 18 September 23 Sun: 5pm-9pm M-F: 10am-9pm Paramount Plaza Hotel and Suites -92fif SW 13th St i .'Or!~~, -, ~ Univ'erstv Ave UFi Course saa Shands"" 3!W sw 13*Sp BIG ass : CLOTHES so" Bus Route 13, stop C.

10, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 AROUND GAINESVILLE City group targets energy usurpers By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ Alligator Writer srodriguez@aIiigator.org Riding bicycles and taking long walks could be in store for more UF students. The Gainesville Energy Advisory Conurittee discussed options for conserving energy at a Tuesday meeting. The committee suggested using traffic circles and coordinating traffic signals to lessen the effects of stop-and-go traffic. "If we need traffic circles, well, then students will get used to them," said committee member Anthony Brennan. Brennan also advised UF students to stop driving to class and suggested UF eliminate on-campus parking spaces to keep Gainesville's traffic at a minimum. The committee also discussed using solar water-heating as a method to conserve energy. A solar water-heating system will reduce the need for conventional water heating by about two-thirds, according to the Solar Water Technologies Program Web site. The committee also is questoning whether to continue using chilled water plants, which consume more electricity than any other single energy-consuning device. "[Gainesville Regional Utilities] is pursuing all the costeffective energy conservation potential that is available in our community," said Mark Spiller, staff liaison for the committee and GRU analyst. "Our goal is to achieve that conservation to benefit all our repairs." GRU has proposed a plan that includes six energy-conservation programs including water reuse, renewable energy and energy conservation for coal. As an incentive, GRU is offering rebates of up to $250 for participation in any of these energy-conserving programs. Every month, the committee will discuss one item that the city can save energy on. In an effort to become a more environmentally friendly community, the committee suggested that citizens eliminate the use of paper and instead to document everything digitally. "I would recommend using PDF files as a format instead of paper," said committee member Chris Lanteigne. Delta Upsilon Fraternity sets additional $10K goal RELIEF, from page 1 feet of water," Martin said. "He decided to come to Gainesville after the storm and was here during the event. He's really the reason we did it." Martin said Delta Upsilon will continue to sell the remaining CDs and T-slilrts from the concert and its goal is to raise $10,000. Members of UF ROTC collect donations for victims of Hurricane Katrina. The Panhellenic Council has also been fundraising for the American Red Cross, and volunteers from UF's 16 sorority chapters have collected more than $7,000 around campus in eight days. "People were so willing to donate," said Ashley Gomberg, president of the Panhellenic Council. "We had people putting $50 bills in our buckets." Gomberg said she thinks the response has been especially large because of the ongoing news coverage in the aftermath of the storm. "It was just so sad to see the pictures of all those kids who are missing their families," she said. "Besides goods and money, it's important to keep these people in your thoughts." The Panhellenic Council is joined by the Interfratenilty, Multicultural Greek and National Panhellenic councils in raising money for the Gator Hurricane Relief project. "We folded our efforts into the university's large hurricane effort that has been coordinated by the [Center for Leadership and Service]," said IFC President John Dicks. "We were gearing up to do our own efforts, but we thought that this would be more organized." For more information, contact the Center for Leadership and Service by email at cls@dso.ufl.edu.

JewStar.com staff have planned events around the country including a Passover Party in Miami Beach for more than 2,500 people. They also do philanthropic work associated with the largest volunteer network in Israel, Yad Sarah, started by the mayor of Jerusalem.

Car.r esnowca8(7,2 ,u e",. Fall 2005 Career Showcaseoffers apportunitkies for al By Alicia Bisanti _________________________m___. .Mtk As students begin the new school year starting their internship and job search is likely not first on their todo list. However, the process is not one that should be taken lightly, or put off until the last minute. Students should attend Career Showcase on September 27 & 28, from 9 a.m.3p.m., at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. Career Showcase is an event hosted by the Career Resource Center (CRC) each fall and spring, that helps students explore career options and meet hundreds of employers that recruit through the CRC in preparation for their internships, cooperative education and full-time employment search. Career Showcase will have a two-day format, technical and. non-technical. Day One, Sept. 27 (Technical) hosts employers seeking candidates for technical positions in computer science, construction, information systems, scientific research, etc. Day Two, Sept. 28 (Non-Technical) features employers who are hiring for positions in accounting, banking, communications, consulting, human services, management, retail, sales etc. The new technical / non-technical Day format that was piloted last spring generated positive responses. "The new technical/non-technical day format gave students and employers a better understanding of which day suited their needs and balanced the flow of traffic," said Associate Director for Employee Relations at the CRC, Tom Halasz. More than 300 organizations such as Ferguson, Pulte Homes, Boeing Company, McGladrey & Pullen, and Southern Company are registered to attend Career Showcase this fall. "We've already surpassed our goal of 300 registered companies; now I hope that the number will reach 350," said Halasz. Halasz attributes the increased number of companies registered for Career Showcase to a number of factors including; opening the registration process to employers earlier, a smooth transition and energetic start of the center's new Assistant Director for Career events Kristen Muire, and a recovering job market. Mark Lyden, Recruiting Relations Manager of Boeing Company, believes that the upturn in the economy has caused Boeing to look for additional hires this year. "We're always hiring, but with the surplus, our need is slightly higher," said Lyden. When asked why Boeing Company returns each year to Showcase, Lyden responded "The diversity at UF is excellent in the students and in the different colleges. It's really a one-stop-shop. Our company looks for technical and non-technical positions, through UF's programs we get what we need." Employer satisfaction with the performance of their UF hires also contributes to an increase in companies recruiting through the CRC. "We identified UF as one of the top Business (specifically Accounting) programs in the country and we want to be at Florida to recruit the top in the country" said Garry Tacket, Director for National Recruiting, McGladrey & Pullen. "Florida grads who have joined our firm have been successful in their careers, we expect that to continue and they report that they are happy here." Tacket encourages students to attend Career Showcase and the Internship Forums as a way of learning. "It's never too early to find out about the process and perhaps make contacts," said Tacket. He recommends that students even at the freshman level attend. Tacket went on to recount his interaction with two impressive sophomores at the reception following the Internship Forum last spring. "I have the names of two sophomores I met last spring. It was too early in the process for our hires, so I'll contact them before we return to campus this fall." Students can attend remaining Pre-Showcase (Extreme Resume Makeover, Employer Resume Critique, Internship Forum) events 'or visit www.crc.ufl.edu/showcase to prepare for Career Showcase and their employment search.

Although this project is a rather common undertaking at various universities nation-wide, its establishment held significance for the UF campus, in which students searching for professional opportunities often overlook the local market for lack of exposure and a rather severe competition among large national employers. "Because many students associate Gainesville as a small college town, few take the time to explore the potential for professional growth within local businesses," said Heather White, the CRC's assistant director for experiential education. "Others opt for taking a semester off to travel elsewhere for an internship, ignoring the availability of local opportunities." Local employers, were less informed about UF students' availability and professional prospective, thus hindering potential for local economic growth. "BRIDGE's greatest contribution has been the ability to link our local employers with the UF student population to let them know about the great employment opportunities here and to get the students more involved in our community," said Kim Tesch-Vaught Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce, Director of Community.Improvement. "The Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce has hired three interns as full time staff in the last two years." The Career Resource Center will connect students and participating local employers, ultimately facilitating greater connectivity between Gainesville -area professionals and UF students. Interested students are encouraged to update their resumes and plan to attend one of the mandatory BRIDGE workshops in the Career Resource Center, beginning October 4. All essential BRIDGE information will be provided during the workshops. Visit http://www.crc.ufl.edu for a list of workshop times. Following bsines.eses were BRIDGE participants in Spring 2004.

4, CAREER SHOWCASE GUIDE, ALLIGATOR N WEDESNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 Special Advertising Section Hear what students are saying about Career Showcase Guillermo Moratorio "I first went to the Career Showcase in the spring of my freshman year. I used the CRC website to get the basics on how to talk to recruiters, what to say, and how to approach companies in your 'top 10' list. "The most important thing about my visit to the career fair that time, wasn't whether or not I got an internship, it was the networking. "I went back to Career Showcase, the following fall; the same recruiters that I was interested in already knew my name. The most important thing is to head out to the career fair during your freshman year. "The networking ties you build and the impression you give employers from going there so early are huge bonuses towards getting an internship or job offer later." Guillermo Moratorio is a third year Industrial/ Systems Engineering student. He worked with Intel Corporation in Colorado Springs, CO Spring 05 -Summer 05. He looks forward to a second rotation with them next summer. Brian Dubrow "My summer was excellent! I went to Career Showcase in sophomore year to check it out because I knew I'd be back during my junior year. In my junior year I researched different companies that I was interested in. When I went to CS I had a small group of companies that I talked to. You know which companies you like by talking to the employers during the day. The amount of information the recruiters gave me on the spot and their willingness to spend time talking to me at the fair helped me decide who I wanted to interview with. I didn't have any worries about being a Liberal Arts and Science major because I was well prepared. I knew how to interact with employers through training at the Career Resource Center. And I knew which opportunities were a match for my qualifications. Be prepared for Showcase. Research companies ahead of time so you don't waste your time talking to random companies you aren't interested in. Get involved in extracurricular activities that can demonstrate that you have a range of skills and experiences outside of the classroom." Brian Dubrow is a fourth year Criminology major. He completed an Assets Protection Internship with Target this summer. Stephanie Maria Leon I attended CareerShowcase in my junior and senior years here at UF and was able to attain an internship which led to a full-time offer with KPMG, LLP. My advice to all students who are interested in pursuing an internship is to start early and be prepared! Go to Career Showcase the year before you start actively looking for employment so that you can get a feel for the event and start building relations with recruiters and take advantage of everything that the Career Resource Center has to offer.

ALLIGATOR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 www.alligatorSports.org njr ~e W5s he e -ad By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Staff Writer eesteban@alligator.org The challenge before Coach Urban Meyer is simple. Replace your fastest up-and-coming receiver and starting kick-return specialist as you head into the heart of a tough Southeastern Conference schedule. Meyer's receiving corps got dealt its first personnel blow on Saturday night when junior Andre Caldwell went down for the season with a broken right femur. The Gators have a host of unproven receivers that they will need to rely on for big plays and touchdowns, but the majority of the pressure will fall on the shoulders of junior Jemalle Cornelius. "On offense, you turn the heat up on Jemalle, and his role in the offense just tripled," Meyer said. "I saw him play against Georgia last year. He took a bad play and made a great play." Cornelius has proven to be a valuable addition for the Gators, particularly in the slot, where his speed and elusiveness make him hard to contain. In 2004, he finished the year with 12 catches for 154 yards and three touchdowns. As a 'target that was often relied as the third or fourth option in most plays this year, Cornelius is looking to step up his game right away. "The opportunity to come out and play a bigger role in the offense and contribute to the team definitely motivates me," Cornelius said. "I have to play full speed all of the time, and as a player, you know when it's time for you to step up." "I think Kenneth Tookes, Gavin [Dickey], and Tate [Casey] are all going to have to do a lot more and I believe they can." Jemalle Cornelius UF receiver He will also be counted on to see time at the playmaking H-back position. While Chad Jackson is the main threat, Cornelius will also see plays at the position, much like Caldwell did from out of the slot and backfield. The loss of Caldwell puts even more pressure at the already-thin fourth and fifth receiver spots, with several candidates bringing their own set of weapons to the position. "I think Kenneth Tookes, Gavin [Dickey], and Tate [Casey] are all going to have to do a lot more and I believe they can," Cornelius said. Tookes, a 6-foot-2, 209-pound junior, has made more plays without the football than with it, but that's a technique thit Meyer has stressed since spring practices began. His strong blocking techniques have made him an asset to the offense, playing in every game so far. Dickey brings the most speed to the position, but he has only one career collegiate reception to his name. Having played primarily at quarterback in the past, putting Dickey in at fifth receiver would allow Meyer to tinker with trick plays. UF's depth issues at tight end have sophomore Tate Casey in a bind so far this year. At 6-foot-6, 242 pounds, his versatility is crucial on a majority of the rushing plays run out of the spread offense. At the fifth receiver spot, Casey could test defenses like he did last year down the middle of the field and on goal line situations. After three games, he only has one catch for 9 yards, which happened against Wyoming. However, Casey has proved to be valuable in the red zone and a proven target for Leak after catching four touchdowns last year. "Right now, I'm just trying to do whatever is asked of me for this team to win, and the team is winning games," Casey said. "I think I could do a lot more in this offense, and I think I'm capable of doing a lot more. It's up to me to mature a bit more as a Receiver Jemalle Cornelius must crank it up a notch with junior Anyounger guy." dre Caldwell done for the season. Meyer puts aside ego, recognizes Gators' defense will win games How does that old clicht go? Ah yes-a great coach can take his players and beat yours, and then he can take your players and beat his. -Well then, Urban old chap, congratulations because you were a great coach last Saturday night. Sure, the victory over Tennessee was thanks to the Punt 'n' Defend as opposed to the Spread 'n' Shred, but Meyer knows his offense will eventually get there. While most fans gripe about how poor the offense has looked, allow me to remind you that nothing matters more than wins and losses. Last season, was Ron Zook a genius when his Gators averaged 32 points a game? No, all fans remember is 7-5. Ahalftime against the Vols, I was convinced that Meyer (or 3-0 if you prefer) was done. The score was tied up but the game was playing directly into Phil Fulmer's hands. Tennessee ran wild while Chris Leak was running for his life. But then something happened behind closed doors at halftime. Meyer must have checked his ego and realized he could not beat the Volunteers as he had planned. I couldn't believe how UF won that game. Meyer out-Fulmered Fulmer. That's right, ball control and stingy defense galore. You know the fact that his offense currently ranks behind Vanderbilt, Alabama, and Arkansas in the Southeastern Conference has to be killing Meyer. Lesser coaches have succumbed to their egos and sacrificed whole games because they were so stubborn. Farzad Safi Far's Side fsafi@alligator.org Let's take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? In 1997, the Gators were the defending national champions and possessed one of the best defenses and running backs -Fred Taylor -in the nation. The 01' Ball Coach, however, was used to winning with the Fun 'n' Gun and didn't plan on changing his routine anytime soon. UF traveled to Baton Rouge to take on a much weaker LSU team. It seemed obvious to everyone watching that game, how UP could win-give the ball to Taylor. The Gators lost 28-21 because Spurrier was bent on proving his offense could work. Doug Johnson threw an unsightly 57 passes and four picks. Taylor ran for three touchdowns but spent most of the fourth quarter on the sidelines thanks to his coach's intractability. In the NFL, Brian Billick was the offensive genius behind the 1998 Vikings, who set an NFL record for most points in a season with 556. Baltimore hired him and Billick recognized that his team's strength was the. defense. Two years later, Billick won the Super Bowl with a team that allowed 165 points during the season -the fewest in NFL history. Could it really hurt UF to dance with the lady who brought them here so far? As long as the Gators are racking up W's, I'd lay off the complaints, because things could and have been worse. MLB Marlins 2 Mets 3 PhiWes 1 Braves 4 N Led by Matt Every's 68 on Tuesday, the Gators overcame a 12stroke deficit to win the Inverness Invitational by 13 strokes. Every finished even, a tourney-best. 31996: Peyton Manning passes for 492 yards but No. 2 Tennessee still can't defeat No. 4 UF, as the Gators escape Knoxville with a 35-29 victory.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 K ALLIGATOR, 27 UF FOOTBALL Gators and 344-pound offensive guard 'Big Hurt' By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@alIigator.org UF's offensive line just got a whole lot meatier. With the Gators losing four starting offensive linemen -including standout center Mike Degory -due to graduation after the season, UF locked up 6-foot-3, 344pound prep guard Maurice Hurt Tuesday. Nicknamed the Big Hurt, the high school senior plans on enrolling for the spring semester to get a leg up on classes and Urban Meyer's schemes. "I'm coming for sure to Florida," said Hurt, a Baldwin High (Milledgeville, Ga.) student, who made the official announcement at a morning press conference. "That's it. There's no changing my mind." Hurt attended Saturday's UF-Tennessee game just to get a feel for the atmosphere, but left awestruck by the program and the opportunity for playing time. "They didn't say I'd start or get a chance to play; they said they'd give me a chance, and that's what I like," Hurt said. "I don't want anything given to me. I want to earn it. So I'm hoping I have a good chance to play at Florida. All I want is a shot and they're probably going to give it to me." Hurt's itch for early playing time combined with UF's lack of depth on the 2006 line could be the perfect marriage. Though he is just a three-star recruit according to scout.com, Hurt provides the kind of girth the Gators lack up front. UF's heaviest player, 320-pound Tavares Washington, is a semior. ."I love contact and I get the job done," said Hurt, who also loves the prospect of blocking in the Spread 'n' Shred. "It's just what I like to do -hit." Hurt's verbal commitment is non-binding until he signs a letter of intent next February. BLOODY TUESDAYS: Watch the fourth quarters of UF's games closely, and you'll notice something interesting. The Gators are running and flying all over the field and on every play. There is no huffing, no puffing, no late-game fatigue. This is by design and it starts with something called Bloody Tuesdays. Under Meyer, Tuesday practices have become a battle for survival, a physical test so strenuous, players say games are much easier. "This whole season, I haven't even been winded in a game," defensive end Jeremy Mincey said. "I'm really shocked at that. You don't know how hard you work until you get in the game and the game's a lot slower than practice." Decking players in full pads and pushing them to the limit, Bloody Tuesdays are one of Meyer's many schemes to avoid lategame collapses. Saturday, it worked wonders. Said tight end Tate Casey: "Practice like you're playing the game and play the game like you practice." CALDWELL RED-SHIRTED, MURPHY IN MIX: After undergoing surgery to repair a clean break of the femur in his right leg on Sunday, wide receiver Andre Caldwell was released from Shands Hospital at UF Tuesday. Meyer also announced Caldwell will be able to receive a medical redshirt since he dd not play more than three games. With Caldwell out, Meyer will begin acclimating wide receiver Louis Murphy .to the receiving corps. Murphy should play on special teams against Kentucky. FUMBLITIS?: After rushing for 68 vards against Louisiana Tech, running back Markus Manson nearly warranted more significant playing time. Manson, however, never saw the field against Tennessee. The redshirt freshman, albeit a favorite of Meyer and a member of his leadership committee, is battling fumbling issues. Meyer said Manson is closer than ever to consistent playing time so long as he tweaks his technique. "If Markus Manson has the habitof dropping his wrist below the elbow and dropping his elbow, he will not play -no one will," Meyer said. "He would jeopardize our chance to win that game."

28, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2005 Burleigh gives tea satisatr review IM GATORS HEAD INTO SEC PLAY WITH 5-2 RECORD By NICK ZACCARDI AlIigator Writer Passing a class with a B is what man UF students strive for. It's just that kind of effort from the UF soccer team that has Coach Becky Burleigh concerned. "I'm one of those players who doesn't need [points] to keep on going." Ananda Erickson UF soccer player Burleigh, who looks at the season fractionally, said the team earned a B grade for its opening third. The Gators finished their nonconference schedule at 5-2, their, worst record through seven games since 2002. "We're not ready to match up against the best teams, losing to Notre Dame and giving up four goals to FSU," Burleigh said. "We also had some good results against some good teams, so that's how I came to a B." UT opens its Southeastern Conference schedule against Alabama on Friday in Pressly Stadium at 8 p.m. ROAD TO RECOVERY: UF is on the road to recovery after a rash of injuries hit the team in the early part of the season. Freshman phenom Megan Kerns suited up to work out on the practice field for the first time in nearly three weeks on Tuesday. Kerns, who notched a goal and an assist in the season opener against Drake, tore her meniscus in August and expected to be out four to six weeks. "We're working her back into practice," Burleigh said. "This is the first time I've seen her [practicing with the injury]." in addition, Ananda Erickson and Amber Presnick, who missed Friday's match against Florida State with injuries, returned to action on Sunday against Central Florida. Freshman Carly Deiter, who hasn't played a minute this season, also is nearing a return. "Everybody's coming back this week, hopefully," Burleigh said. GOALIES FACE CONTROVERSY: The goalkeeper controversy got a little more interesting during the weekend when starter Jen Gardner suffered a broken cheekbone against FSU. "It's pretty swollen if you've seen her," Burleigh said. "It looks like she has a big old tumor.The swelling Andy Apiceia / Alligator Coach Becky Burleigh gave the UF soccer team (5-2) a B grade for the non-conference portion of the regular season. The Gators open Southeastern Conference play against Alabama on Friday at 8 p.m. is an issue in terms of her vision." Britti Goodwin filled in admirably in her first start of the season Sunday, shutting out UCF and recording nine saves. Goodwin has a week of practice to take the job away from Gardner who picked up three shutouts in six starts. "All season that has been a battle between those two," Burleigh said. "The way we look at the keeper position is once one person wins the position, then it's the other person's opportunity to try and beat them out." ON THE BOARD: Erickson notched her first collegiate goal Sunday, but that does not mean much to the junior midfielder. Earning recognition such as being named to an All-Tournament team, something she has done twice this year, motivates Erickson.
